ASHBURN — Matt Jones said Tuesday there was never a question in his mind whether he would show up to Redskins Park for Washington’s mandatory minicamp. As long as he’s on the roster, he was going to be there.
But Jones did devise a plan with his agent to intentionally skip OTAs since they were voluntary.
While the Redskins were running through the offseason workouts and drills in recent weeks, Jones was figuring out his future.
The 2015 third-round pick, dogged by fumbling problems, lost his job as the starter last season and the Redskins followed up this spring by drafting running back Samaje Perine in the fourth round, raising more questions about Jones‘ role on the team.
