PrintAccording to Adam Schefter, the Jacksonville Jaguars are finalizing a trade that would send former first round pick Reggie Nelson to the Bengals for cornerback David Jones in return.
Jones is entering his 4th season, after being drafted by the New Orleans Saints in the 5th round in 2007 out of Wingate. Jones has played in 33 games with the Bengals. Jones was their starting nickel corner for most of last season.
This could spell trouble for Don Carey.

RT @Adam_Schefter: Bengals and Jaguars are now finalizing a CB David Jones for S Reggie Nelson trade … Nelson cannot tackle. Period.

Sounds like a good deal
I would have taken $1 and some envelopes for Reggie

Im surprised we even got something in exchange. If David Jones suck, it’s the same! That being said…good luck Reggie! That’s job as we all need to pay rents and eat.

Don't know much about him yet, but
I think I remember him getting an impressive pick 6 this preseason.
I think he intercepted kyle orton.

There's no questioning CB depth anymore
Maybe if he’s good enough we can move Rashean to Safety, kill 2 birds with 1 stone?

Lol. Why all the hate? he just sucked! That happens. I’d be angrier with Shack Harris…another bust.

don't get me started :-)
with his creshendo performance of 2008 drafting – setting this franchise back a minimum of 3-4 years – that guy is public enemy number 1 in my book

So
4 out of 6 Harris 1st round pick is gone apperantly….
And if Harvey didn’t produce this year; he can make it 5 next year….
And how ironic- If Reggie will go to Cincy; on the same day the Bengals cut Matt Jones….

I have a bad feeling that next year Harvey will be gone too. I really hope he prodces, i like him…i just don’t see it happening. Hope i’m dead wrong.

Harvey
Harvey’s still a good run stopper. He just isn’t a pass rusher.
That’s true. But didnt we trade up heavily for him so he could be a premier pass rusher?

yes - we gave up the farm for him
and yes – he was brought in to be the pass rush / sack machine. And if you through in the Quniton Groves give away as well – 2008 may go down as one of the worst drafts in NFL history considering we went into that draft with 11 picks

We got a egg in return for the farm
It needs to hatch

Which is bad
cause the Jags thought he will be the double digit sackman…
I think if Hart and Lane will not breakpout this year; and Harvey stilll stays the same our 1st 3 round choices will be:
QB; DE; Inerior O-lineman/safety

I got the horrible ironic feeling
We’ll see 2 safeties back to back, a Guard, a Center, and if we’re extremely lucky we take a flyer on a QB in the mid to late rounds.

im pretty sure that they have to be reported to the league
by 5 or 6
that doesnt mean for us
And all those who look down on me I'm tearing down your balcony
how many ints does d. jones have in his career?

enjoy that pre-season clip.

I was reading your team blog. None is saying David Jones is great, he will be a backup here. I know everyone sees the positive side of things for their own side, but Reggie Nelson was going to get cut because he seriously suck, it’s not even right that he covers well…he doesnt, hes out of position all the time. You got rid of a guy you didn’t want there and got yourselves a new face and new hope, but he is horrible and your team also gave us a conditional pick. We have reason to celebrate this, if you think you do…wait and see. If i’m wrong, i will follow up your team blog and be the first to admit this, but it won’t happen.

jones was getting cut too
its a case of two teams trading one man’s garbage for anothers. bengals lacked real depth at safety #4 because of 2 injuries in the pre-season and the jags needed a little depth at cb. jones wasn’t going to survive the cut in cincy either. with the trade he gets yet another chance to play in the nfl.
as the conditional pick, if the pick is anything above a 6th or 7 th round pick and requires nelson to be a starter or play in 8 games or be on the roster come week 16-18, he won’t be. this is mike brown. the same guy that is so frugal he’s a joke around the league. he’s been known to make deals/contracts with incentives that the team will never allow to be reached.
"wherever Brad St. Louis is and Shayne Graham is about to be." -R.F. Mehl
I could see this scenario, i think Nelson is good as a backup as you are saying he will be. I just replied because all you guys seemed so happy on your blog about Nelson that made me think he will be the starter, and a good one. I for one am not much interested in David Jones as much as the conditional pick…that considering how good Nelson is, we might never see.
Anyway, didn’t mean to take a shot at your team. Good luck on the season.

reggie was a great person and i truly wish him the best

Remember
this is Nelson we’re talking about. A conditional pick may not amount to much if we have to rely on Nelson to earn it for us.
I'd take a Rashad Jennings 7th round pick
anyday

Hopefully the conditions have nothing to do with Reggie's tackling
You can't reason with unreasonable people.
Honestly, by this point I would’ve taken used toiler paper for Reggie
So this trade might’ve as well be his weight in Gold

I wonder
if Gene is gonna make the one move that will put the asses in seats and improve the club simlutaneously. We’ve gotten younger (and cheaper) to where it may not be a bad play to make a move for a huge name player who can cut the field in half. I imagine Gene has more in the works than the Nelson trade.
Jacksonville would be reported on ESPN regularly

I don't want to go there
that’s like dangling Megan Fox in front of my face and telling me it’s never gonna happen.

no way - espn has an agenda and postive Jags reporting runs
contrary to thagt agenda - pigs fly before that happens
You have my mouth watering, lol
but I truly think Gene has something else up his sleeve. “In Gene We Trust!”
At this point, i'd give up a 2nd rounder and whatever else they want for Revis

originally my fantasy was
2 or 3 consecutive 2nd round picks and all our safeties.
However i’d easily give up a 1st this year and then a 2nd next year along with an assortment of players. And pay the expensive contract
