Wide receiver says the Bears are talking to his agent

There's been no evidence -- outside of Plaxico Burress -- of the Bears looking for any additional help at wide receiver.

Matt Jones says the Bears are one of several teams talking to his agent.
However, the Bears may have quietly done some homework on free agent Matt Jones. The talented but troubled Jones, a first-round pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2005 -- admitted Wednesday his representatives have engaged in some dialogue with Chicago.
"My agent has talked to the Jets, Titans, Bears and Dallas," Jones told 103.7 The Buzz in Little Rock, Ark. "Things are looking good. Something probably will happen sooner rather than later. We just want it to be a good fit and somewhere where I can get in there and help a team win."
The Bears seem content to let their unproven receivers get as many reps as possible during training camp. Perhaps Jones is simply viewed as an emergency option in the event of an injury. Or maybe Jones is a backup plan if guys like Earl Bennett, Johnny Knox and Juaquin Iglesias bomb this summer. Or maybe the Bears don't have any interest at all.
Just for the record: Jones claims to be in outstanding shape after spending the last four months training down in Florida.

This was posted yesterday by dabayrz... why post again?
Be nice. Flag comments that you think are offensive. Use the "reply" button. Drink plenty of water. Compliment others. Rec (wreck) comments and posts you like. Don't call people names. If you don't like someone's comment, attack the comment and not the commentor. Learn the difference in your/you're, then/than, to/too. Exercise. Relax. Stretch often. Find good in the world.
Really?
I thought it might be possible after 2 other people posted about it. But now 3 people have posted that it’s possible, so SOMETHING must be going on.
All the Johnny Junior Journalists who want to be the first to “scoop” something widely reported elsewhere onto a blog kill me.
DEJESUS!!!
I just came up on this article by Jeff Dickerson today, but if I knew daybayrz posted this before me I would’t have never posted it.

any chance
that instead of being really diligent about swears the mods could merge some of these fanpost that are the exact same thing? considering we get 2 fanposts for every one news story, an almost free stream of geishakob’s thoughts, and 4 front page posts a day this is getting a little unreadable.
He's right
It would be nice if people put a little thought into posts before they put them up. Just linking to an article or posting a little thought that pops into your head isn’t worth a fanpost. Otherwise the site looks like it’s populated by 16 year olds.
DEJESUS!!!

Kind Of Like Your Well Thought Out Replies Tomas21
I really enjoyed your rant about field turf vs. grass and I walked away from it feeling intellectually stimulated. Thank you tomas21, I know so much about field turf now.
Most people say,
It’s as in “Gatorade” = Hater-ade. :)

This fanpost should be deleted....
It’s a copy and paste of a published article on ESPN.

Dude you act like I’m trying to take credit for Jeff Dickerson work, when my intentions was just to discuss and debate with fellow Bears fans about the possibility of Matt Jones being invited into camp.
i could care less if my fanpost gets deleted and If it’s in violation of the rules on this site then I encourage the Mod to delete this post because it wasn’t intentional.

I Agree With You NiqueBears
You were just trying to talk some Bears football and made an honest mistake. You don’t deserve to be raked over the coals for it. That’s kind of absurd.
My comment wasn't an attack toward you
It was to keep this blog out of trouble. There are copyright violations. If you want to discuss an article, you may quote a sentence or two and provide a link, but you should not copy and paste an entire article.
