Now that Matt Jones has his foot in the Cincinnati Bengals' door, he's determined to prove he belongs there on a long-term basis after signing a one-year contract last month, Jones is eager for this fresh start after being out of football last year and dealing with issues involving drugs, including brushes with the court system and the NFL substance-abuse policies. "I knew if I stayed focused and I wanted another opportunity that I had to keep with it and work it out," Jones told the Cincinnati Enquirer. "I'm excited about the opportunity to play with Cincinnati." Arrested for cocaine possession in the past and once testing positive for alcohol and violating his probation, Jones said he understands why those incidents happened. "It was immaturity," Jones said. "I have a good family and know right from wrong. You mess up and whenever you make a mistake you have to move on." Source: National Football Post
I wonder if Matt is going to be able to keep his head on straight. If so, it could be a good year for him with Carson throwing to him.
