The Facts: Jones, who was released by Jacksonville earlier this week after spending nearly a week in prison for a probation violation, could draw interest from the Jets and Cowboys, league sources have indicated.
Diehards Line:According to Newsday staffer Bob Glauber, what has to happen before any team signs Jones is for the NFL to decide whether he faces additional sanctions for his probation violation. Jones was suspended three games last year after being arrested in a cocaine possession incident. The Cowboys make some sense given that both Matt and Dallas owner Jerry Jones are Arkansas products. The Jets, meanwhile, could use a veteran presence on the outside with Laveranues Coles no longer on the roster.
