Mark Jones cut from Titans

It isn't necessarily that simple. Just because you add a WR doesn't mean you have to cut a WR especially when we're only slated to carry four of them. There are plenty of guys that are going to make the roster primarily for their special teams play. He could be added at the expense of one of those guys.

Additionally, I wouldn't say it's totally certain that Jarrett keeps his roster spot. I think it would be a mistake, but he's hardly a slam dunk.

yeah i had that in my orginal post, he REALLY needs to show up or we should try another avenue next year, deon sanders made a huge point about young players being hungry and contacting former legends for help. Both Drew Carter and Kenny Moore were mentored under smith and made huge strides while Jarrett was on the team. It's just a pity that he's languished here for so long.

He hasn't been back there a whole lot, but that is the thing.... it's a whole different animal than kick returning. You have ZERO time to read and diagnose on punt returns. It's catch, hope you don't get creamed, and then the next four or five seconds is all reaction time dodging 250 lb. bullets. That is why these guys fumble. They're trying to cheat and get a glance at the coverage before the ball gets there to make sure they're not about to get splattered. It takes some major intestinal fortitude to take punts.

Its also something that does take at least a little bit of experience. Moore has pretty sure hands, and if he gets a few reps as punt returner, I think he will settle down. Mark Jones had a couple of fumbles his first year as a punt returner. He didn't lose them, but he did fumble.
