06:37 AM ET 04.21 | ormer first-round pick of the Jaguars who had been released in the wake of his one-week jail sentence for a violation of his parole in connection with a drug-related arrest in Arkansas. But that interest has since cooled, and the team is not expected to make a play for him. There was interest in Jones from some Jets' front-office personnel, but head coach Rex Ryan was the one who scuttled the idea. And it had nothing to do with his off-field problems; Ryan, we're told, simply didn't like Jones enough as a player to consider him as a potential replacement for Laveranues Coles. We're hearing the Cowboys remain interested in Jones as a possibility, but only after the NFL determines whether he will face additional sanctions as a result of his parole violation. Jones was suspended three games last year.
