JAX Appears done with WR Matt Jones

It appears that the Jaguars are fed up with Matt Jones. Pro Football Weekly reports “In the words of one team source we talked to, it would be “shocking” to see him in a Jags uniform in 2008.”

The exit of Jones will give Mike Walker and Troy Williamson some breathing room at the end of the Jacksonville bench - Walker has been showing no ill effects from last year’s knee injury during OTAs, and several Footballguys think he is a “sleeper” candidate for a surprising season this year.

Walker is now on my short list of “flyer” picks for the final rounds of my 2008 fantasy drafts. He should be available on the cheap, and he has a lot of upside potential with a dubious #1 WR, Jerry Porter, tottering atop the depth chart, followed by Reggie Williams and Dennis Northcutt - if Walker continues to impress in training camp, he could end up in the starting lineup sooner rather than later.
