Redskins RB Matt Jones skipping OTAs, wants to be released or traded

Running back Matt Jones isn't in the Washington Redskins plans, which is why he hasn't yet been at their voluntary workout sessions - with no plans on doing so, according to a source. The third-year back would prefer to be released or traded.

The Redskins have no plans to release Jones at this time.

Jones hasn't yet shown up for any of the four sessions and it should come as no surprise that he's not in their plans. That's been evident since the end of the regular season and nothing has changed.

It represents quite a change from one year ago when Jones was the hot story in the spring, with veteran Alfred Morris having left for Dallas.
