Even that "explanation" won't cut it; the ONLY place in the Old Testament
where anybody pays silver for a field is in Jeremiah 32:8-9. How could
anybody--even an inerrantist--believe that Matthew's mention of Jeremiah is
just an amazing coincidence?
What happened, I suspect, is that Matthew--or Matthew's source--remembered
two
different stories from two different authors with names which sounded
alike,
and blended them into one.

Read my "Apocryphal Jeremiah" posting again (ahem).
"Resch's crowning piece of evidence was a remark of Jerome's (Comm. in Matt
at Matt 27.9): "Legi nuper, in quodam hebraico uolumine quem Nazarenae
secae mihi Hebraeus obtulit Hieremiae apocryphum, in quo haecad verbum
scripta reperi" ("Recently I read in a certain Hebrew volume which a Hebrew
of the Nazarene sect brought to me, an apocryphal Jeremiah, in which I
discovered these writings word for word.")." [also see Origen, Commentary
on Matthew, at 27:9]"
