  NFL | Matt Jones garnering interest    Thu Jul 30, 11:57 AM

Free-agent RB Matt Jones (XFL) has been in contact with teams and has garnered interest.

Footballguys view: A third-round pick (Washington) in the 2015 NFL draft, Jones was a banger at Florida and that's what he was in the pros. The last time he was in the NFL was when he was trying to make the Eagles 53-man roster in the 2018 preseason. We'll see if some team wants to pick up the big-bodied veteran back.

  Eagles | Two-year deal for Matt Jones    Wed May 9, 03:06 PM

Updating a previous report, Philadelphia Eagles RB Matt Jones' contract is for two years. Financial terms were not disclosed. WR Dom Williams was waived in a corresponding move.

Footballguys view: A third-round pick for Washington in 2015, Jones was with the Colts in 2017 and had only five carries for 14 rushing yards on the season. The Eagles have a crowded backfield, and Jones is certainly no lock to make the 53-man roster. He's competing behind guys like Jay Ajayi, Corey Clement, DJ Pumphrey and Darren Sproles.

  Colts | Matt Jones waived    Tue May 1, 10:58 AM

Indianapolis Colts RB Matt Jones was waived Tuesday, May 1.

Footballguys view: No surprise here, especially after the Colts selected both Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins in the 2018 NFL draft. Jones only had five carries for the Colts last year and he may find it difficult to latch on with a new team.

  Colts | Matt Jones back with Indy    Mon Dec 4, 06:15 PM

Free-agent RB Matt Jones (Colts) re-signed with the Indianapolis Colts Monday, Dec. 4. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. The team also officially placed CB Pierre Desir (shoulder) on the Reserve/Injured list.

Footballguys view: The Colts just add a player that knows the system and can provide depth behind Frank Gore and Marlon Mack. Jones was with the Colts earlier this year but only appeared in two games.

  Colts | Two in, two out in Indy    Sat Dec 2, 01:09 PM

Indianapolis Colts RB Matt Jones was waived Saturday, Dec. 2. OG Kyle Kalis was also waived with an injury designation. WR K.J. Brent and C Anthony Fabiano were added from the practice squad in corresponding moves.

Footballguys view: Jones failed to make a dent in a backfield that is led by a 34-year old and a rookie. He's looking like a journeyman from here on out despite his combination of size and athleticism.

  Colts | Matt Jones joins active roster    Fri Sep 22, 06:36 PM

Indianapolis Colts practice squad RB Matt Jones was signed to the active roster Friday, Sept. 22. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: Jones has lots of physical talent, but lost his starting job in Washington because of fumbles last year. He's up this week because Marlon Mack is out.

  Colts | Matt Jones added to practice squad    Tue Sep 12, 02:00 PM

Free-agent RB Matt Jones (Colts) was added to the Indianapolis Colts' practice squad on Tuesday, Sept. 12.

Footballguys view: Jones is back with the Colts after spending six days on their roster after they picked him up off waivers when Washington released him. He's on the practice squad and something would have to happen to other RBs on the depth chart (Frank Gore, Robert Turbin, Marlon Mack) before he'd get the call up to the active roster.

  Colts | Matt Jones not long for Indianapolis    Sat Sep 9, 11:25 AM

Indianapolis Colts RB Matt Jones was waived Saturday, Sept. 9.

Footballguys view: Jones fell out of favor with Washington, they tried to trade him - couldn't find any takers - so they released him. The Colts picked him up but evidently didn't like what they saw. Maybe the Bears (who put in a waiver claim for him last week) will give Jones another chance.

  Colts | Matt Jones scooped up by Indy    Sun Sep 3, 12:54 PM

Free-agent RB Matt Jones (Redskins) was claimed off waivers by the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, Sept. 3.

Footballguys view: Jones is a physically-gifted big back who has the highest ceiling on the roster as an inside runner. This situation is greatly diminished as long as Andrew Luck is out, but after he returns, Jones could be the primary between-the-tackles backup to Frank Gore. Still, he would be in a three-way committee with Robert Turbin and Marlon Mack, so there's not much to see here beyond a chance to keep a pulse in dynasty leagues.

  Redskins | Matt Jones set free    Sat Sep 2, 12:30 PM

Washington Redskins RB Matt Jones was waived Saturday, Sept. 2.

Footballguys view: This move has been anticipated for quite some time. Jones entered last year as the starter in Washington but fumbled his way out of a job. The team was trying to trade him but found no takers.

  Washington | Matt Jones hires new agent    Sun Jul 2, 04:46 PM

Washington running back Matt Jones has signed Drew Rosenhaus as his agent.

Footballguys view: It's likely Rosenhaus will help Jones secure his release from Washington. Too bad the superstar agent can't help Jones hang onto the rock. The starter to begin 2016, Jones fumbled the job away and only appeared in seven games last year. Jones is big (6'2" 231 pounds) but runs like a finesse back. He'll have a new home at or near the start of training camp.

  Redskins | Matt Jones seeking release    Wed Jun 14, 11:17 AM

Washington Redskins RB Matt Jones' agent has asked the team to release Jones. Jones is close with new Redskins senior vice president of player personnel Doug Williams, who told him to put his head down and compete. Jones said he would work hard to earn back his starting spot.

Footballguys view: Jones has skipped voluntary OTAs with the idea that he would be traded or released. We'd be surprised if he's on the team's 53-man roster when the regular season opens up.

  Redskins | Matt Jones present    Tue Jun 13, 10:55 AM

Washington Redskins RB Matt Jones was spotted at the team's facility Tuesday, June 13.

Footballguys view: Cue the Marshawn Lynch "I'm here so I won't get fined" drop. That's why Jones is at mandatory minicamp after skipping all of the team's voluntary workouts. Jones is buried on the depth chart, he's unhappy about that and likely to get traded or released because of it. No matter where he lands, we don't see Jones all of a sudden becoming a fantasy force in the NFL.

  Redskins | Matt Jones the No. 5 RB    Thu Jun 1, 11:14 AM

Washington Redskins RB Matt Jones was told he was the team's No. 5 running back, and he is not participating in organized team activities.

Footballguys view: Robert Kelley and Chris Thompson lead the team's RBBC with Kelley as the power back and Thompson as the pass-catching back. They will be joined by rookie Samaje Perine. The rookie from Oklahoma is an interesting prospect, as he can pound between the tackles as well as run routes and catch the ball. We love Perine's upside and Michael Turner-like ability. As you can see, the Washington backfield is already crowded (we didn't even bring up Keith Marshall). Expect Jones to be traded or released before the start of training camp.

  Redskins | Matt Jones expected back    Wed May 31, 07:27 PM

Washington Redskins RB Matt Jones is expected to rejoin the team at some point, according to head coach Jay Gruden.

Footballguys view: Jones has not been at voluntary workouts as he's likely to be traded or released. Reports indicate Jones has been told he's not in the team's plans for the future. There's a chance some team would take a chance on Jones for a conditional draft pick. Either traded or released, Jones is unlikely to be with Washington when training camp rolls around.

  Redskins | Matt Jones won't attend OTAs    Wed May 24, 09:18 AM

Washington Redskins RB Matt Jones won't attend organized team activities, according to a source.

Footballguys view: Not really a surprise here. Jones was a healthy scratch for all but seven games last year and the team has moved on with guys like Rob Kelley and rookie Samaje Perine. Add in Chris Thompson as a change-of-pace back and you can see how there's no room for Jones. He'll be traded or released and try to latch on with another team in the NFL.

  Redskins | Matt Jones on the market    Fri Apr 28, 08:59 AM

Washington Redskins RB Matt Jones is being shopped by the team, according to sources. The Redskins are likely to add another running back in the NFL draft.

Footballguys view: We'll see if they grab one in round two, which would really put the pressure on them to move on from Jones. We liked what we saw from Jones his first year but 2016 was a disappointment, and Washington must have been as frustrated as Jones' fantasy owners were. Likely they regret moving on from Alfred Morris at least a little bit.

  Redskins | Matt Jones staying ready    Fri Nov 18, 10:22 PM

Washington Redskins RB Matt Jones said he is staying 'humble' and working hard after losing his starting job, and head coach Jay Gruden said Jones needs to be ready to take advantage of his next opportunity when it comes.

Footballguys view: In short-bench leagues, it's okay to move on from Jones. Rob Kelley is the starter and Jones isn't even a guarantee to be active.

  Redskins | Matt Jones far down pecking order    Tue Nov 15, 10:12 AM

Washington Redskins RB Matt Jones may continue to be a healthy scratch as the team prefers a back that can perform on special teams, which Jones has not done. 'We're not giving up on Matt,' head coach Jay Gruden said. 'But when you can only dress three running backs, the third one we would like to have some impact on special teams. That's not always going to be the case. Sometimes we may not need our third running back to be on special teams, we can get Matt up.'

Footballguys view: All fantasy owners need to add Rob Kelley if he's out there on the waiver wire. Consider yourself lucky if you find him there. Jones is no lock to even be active on a weekly basis. We expect a decent game for Kelley against Green Bay this week, since the Packers have been slipping in run defense the last few games.
