MJ 95% sure he will sign with Cincinatti Bengals

[whiskeyNwater]

only thing left is assurances that they aren't going to sign TO in 2 weeks

golf to celebrate?

I promise...I haven't heard the dude this excited ever....  he is ready to make things right

[kingofdequeen]

good for him.  cheap bastards should have signed him last year midway through the season after his tryouts.

[LordStanleysHog]

ITs about time... VY and MJ on the same team.

no worries, we don't want the haters coming out...Matt has no hard feelings, He is excited for this opportunity

Maybe they had to wait until the end of year due to salary cap issues

[whiskeyNwater]

no, they were originally worried that Britt wouldn't be ready and Matt was their insurance policy. Britt ended up playing very well but now they don't like Nate Washington....they knew no other teams were going to scoop him up so they just decided to wait....they found out the Bengals were seriously considering signing him and they found out that Jack Del Rio brought him in and lobbied the front office to bring him back so they decided to make a move....

[Ash]

I hope he does good. From what I've heard he seems willing to put the work in now.

[kingofdequeen]

put 70 receptions and 1000 yds on the books next year, then collect checks year after.

gg Titans...bout [CENSORED] time.

[Landonhog]

signs his contract tomorrow AM.....league minimum  

good to hear that...

[cosmodrum]

The only golf I've been playing lately is Tiger '10. Currently I'm -26 through 2 at Turnberry...no big deal.

[idochog]

good to hear that...

he will be a 4th yr player so the league minimum will be at least 600k for that many years in the league

[LordStanleysHog]

Matt's on the way to the golf course with a 6 Pack and some Orange Golf Balls!

the maturity level is really reaching new lows around here... how much do you spend on windex for that glass house you live in?

Del Rio, really?  I guess he's really turned it around if Del Rio is lobbying for him.  Good to hear.

Good for MJ... hopefully he has learned from his mistakes and can be a productive player in the NFL again.

[Hawgrox]

Ha! Good one King!

[99toLife]

Exactly.. he is so talented, but so stupid in the past..  I wish him the best!

[TexHog188]

Let's hope he's a changed man.  Good Luck Matt.

[twistitup]

congrats Matt....good luck with everything. :razorback: :razorback:

[kennedy]

Good for Matt!

[kitarae]

Grats to him. Good to see his hard work and determination are coming through. Suffering from the fallout and listening to all the haters, it would have been too easy for him to just hang up the cleats. But no, he roughed it out and is finally getting a chance to prove himself.

Matt has always been my favorite Hog and he is the only NFL jersey I've ever bought.

[SquidBilly]

A person learns a lot more from their mistakes than they do their successes, so I for one believe Matt will be better than we've ever seen him.  Good luck to him for sure.

[FANONTHEHILL]

I wish him the best.  He is getting an opportunity that I am not sure he deserves and he better make the most of it.   Sometimes people get their lives straightened out and I hope that is the case here.

[southeasthog]

Hope he sticks. One of my favorite players even if I did cuss him on occasion.

[flagstaffhog]

Go Matt, believe in yourself and you will succeed! Wish you well.

[gotyacovered]

WPS!

always liked the titans. i got a crib hook up out there, maybe i can catch my first NFL game and watch NFL MJ!

[Orlandoback]

I cant find anything on this...any news sources reporting?

[porkurina]

I guess I'm a Titan fan now.

[hamsam]

wish the Steelers would have picked him up...

[pigture perfect]

I've never liked the Titans, but I will now. Go Matt.

[Hawgin84]

Congratulations and good luck Matt.

[ArkieBrat]

I wish Matt the best of luck.  I am very happy that he is getting a second chance.

[gasshog]

Good for Matt.....hope this is a turning point for him.

[HawgWild]

I'm guessing that the local TV stations will do a little negotiating to ensure Arkansas gets more of the Titans games next year? Kinda like they did for Jacksonville?

Someone could buy a lot of blow with that kinda cash.

[Paul Swinebaum]

I will never be a Titans fan but MJ gets my support!

[TheXFiles]

yes! score for Arkansas!  Jones finally has his head on straight and hes close to home.  He is also a great athlete.

[615hawg]

Does anyone possibly have a link? Just searching around the web and can't find this story

[Hoggish1]

Love it.  Now Matt needs to take it seriously because this is his last opportunity.

[Dwight_K_Shrute]

I hope he does well and makes everyone forget the negative stuff.  I have a hunch he is going to work his butt off and be a totally different person and player.  Nothing motivates a person more than having everything and then having all taken away.  Hope he realizes how lucky he is to get this second chance and makes the most of it.

[generichogfan]

Woot!  Go Titans!  We're poised to have a good season next year.  Can't wait to see MJ lumbering around town.  (BTW Vince and Matt only played each other once technically, Chance Mock was the the TX QB during the first game). 

[Lil Wayne]

matt jones vince young and chris johnson?  watch out :razorback:

[TheXFiles]

kenny brit from rutgers too

lendale white

a decent defense

bubba franks at TE?

[jesterzzn]

ITs about time... VY and MJ on the same team.

They should sign Brad Smith and call them the Triplets.

[The Kig]

Awesome!  I live in Nashville and was really hoping they would sign him earlier.   Have some friends on the team-   will see what I can find out.

Hope this is it for Matt and that he can really be a productive WR here.

[whiskeyNwater]

We got a little bidding war going now

[cunetguru]

I look forward to reading the official release...now I can stop searching for this news every week!

Congratulations, Matt Jones...tear it up!

[Porkyswine]

1.  Glad Matt is getting another chance and is getting paid.
2.  NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!  Not another damn David Garrard type QB who is inaccurate.

[upperdeck_hawg]

nothing against the titans, but i was hoping he'd go somewhere where they dont hand it off 75% of the time.
