Filed under: Jaguars, AFC South, NFL Police BlotterTwo weeks after police in Arkansas arrested him for possessing cocaine in the back of a truck, Matt Jones apologized to the Jacksonville Jaguars for his actions.

“I’m embarrassed for Mr. and Mrs. Weaver, coach Del Rio and my teammates, and even the fans of Jacksonville. It’s not good, but I really can’t comment on it right now until all the things are settled in the courts and everything.”

With that apology out of the way, Jones’ next step is to apologize for being such a crappy receiver. I’m sure a few folks in Jacksonville wish he’d be embarrassed for them after the ball bounced off his hands in the end zone a few times. The Jaguars did spend all that money on Jerry Porter for a reason.

Then again, perhaps I’m being too harsh. I mean, I still won my fantasy league two seasons ago despite drafting Jones — thank you, Maurice Jones-Drew — and really, Jones has bigger problems right now than his inability to catch a ball consistently.
