Marvin Jones is a fabulous wide receiver and has done a terrific job as the Cincinnati Bengals’ second or third best option in this 3-year career. Jones has never reached the 1000-yard mark in his three seasons, but the Falcons aren’t in need of someone who can.

Jones caught 65 passes for 816 yards and caught four touchdown passes. Jones clocks in at 6-2, 198 pounds and would easily be the Falcons’ new No.2 wide receiver for many years to come. The Bengals have two great wide receivers who will be free agents. Jones and Mohamed Sanu are both in the same boat and the odds that one of them leaves is pretty high.

The “Roddy White” is still a good wide receiver talks need to stop. It’s borderline laughable at this point. White is over the hill and is no longer capable of being anything more than a stop-gap for an NFL team. It’s time to replace the 34-year-old receiver with a young gun. The truth hurts.
