Bengals sign Matt Jones (Receiver)

Bengals sign Jones despite lousy workout

By Mark J. Miller

Matt JonesThe Cincinnati Bengals needed another wide receiver on its roster so it signed a fella who missed all of last season due to the fact that he had been released from his previous team - the Jacksonville Jaguars - for substance abuse-related arrests.

Receiver Matt Jones(notes) will apparently make $700,00 this year from the Bengals for his services, but the word from Yahoo! Sports' Jason Cole is that Jones had a lousy workout for the Bengals and some folks can't quite figure out how the guy got signed.

"It was one of the worst workouts I have ever seen," one of Cole's sources told him. "I don't care how fast his 40 time is or was, he's a slow-twitch athlete."

Of course Jones may be on the payroll but that doesn't mean he'll be on the roster when real games get started next season.
