It looks like the Cincinnati Bengals are ready to go wide receiver shopping this offseason.

The Bengals reportedly offered veteran receiver Matt Jones a contract worth slightly more than the league minimum of $630,000 according to Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Jones did not play last season, but also received an offer from the Tennessee Titans. He is a former first-round draft pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Chad Ochocinco has been lobbying the team to bring aboard another star receiver recently.

Ochocinco has been very vocal about bringing aboard are Terrell Owens to supplement the receiving corps also consisting of Laveranues Coles and Andre Caldwell.
