PFT: Bengals to Sign Pacman Jones

PrintTake this with an enormous grain of salt considering the same source once reported that Pacman Jones had agreed to terms with the Lions, but Pro Football Talk is reporting that the Bengals are going to ink Jones to a deal. Like I said, consider the source, but it would make sense since Jones worked out for the Bengals today for the second time this offseason. If a move were to happen involving Jones, you would think it'd be shortly after a workout of this nature.
It's very interesting that this reported signing comes just days after Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis made a comment that seemed to suggest his team wasn't all that interested in Jones.
"Adam’s agent can’t help but speak with him since he calls quite a bit," Lewis said. "That would be a true statement that Adam made. I have not spoke with Adam but his agent does call and we have returned the call. We’ll see what happens. If somebody we feel can help us then we’ll continue to look."
Cincinnati had been reported as not being interested in Jones earlier in the offseason, and then Lewis' comment gave the impression that the Bengals were simply being courteous by listening to calls that came in. Things moved quickly after Lewis made that comment, though, because just days later Jones was in Cincinnati and is now apparently set to join the team. I suppose we will have to see if this turns out to be true or not, but if it does and Jones becomes a Bengal, I guess I will have to take back my statement about the Lions being able to wait to make a move with Pacman. I figured they would be able to take their time, but it looks like the Bengals may have beaten them to the punch. Then again, the Lions may not have been interested anyways, so this may be an irrelevant development to the front office if that is the case.

They also worked out Gibril Wilson and Ken Hamlin at safety.
We should bring those same guys in and work them out. They are better than any safeties on our roster outside of Delmas.
This wouldnt suprise me one bit ...
Cincy is like the island of misfit toys for anybody with off the field problems. I think the owner fell asleep infront of the TV watching Major League and woke up with an idea.
I'm not buying it...
…until it’s in writing. Either way though, like Sean pointed out above, this news may be considered irrelevant as far as the Lions front office is concerned. One thing to consider though, another available player that is no longer available just thins out options. The Lions, I’m sure, are not the only team possibly looking for help in the secondary. There are bound to be deals before the season starts, so we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

The Cincinnati Bengals are in serious talks with unrestricted free-agent CB Adam Jones (Cowboys) on a multi-year deal, according to NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora. The two sides have not agreed to a deal but could at some point this week.

We really need to be active in getting more secondary help. Pacman was a low risk high reward guy. Gibril Wilson and Hamlin are still available as mentioned before. I feel if we can solidify some of our secondary we can be a legitimate team defensively. I think our offense is already there. I am being a little optimistic…
LOW RISK????
don’t you read the papers?
low expectations, maybe….
I wouldn’t pay the Packrat to wash my windshield.
low risk refers to low financial risk, meaning that if he sucks or acts up, you can just flat out cut him. The worry is that he’ll be a cancer in the locker room. I don’t buy that this guy who had a ton of talent and has done so many stupid things that he’s fighting to get back into the league has any kind of influence on young players. Would you listen to advice from such a failure?
My thoughts
Mayhew has been cleaning house and to get out the stinch Millen left behind he is using industrial strength bleach maybe he felt PacMan has been clean but he was cleaning with amonia and if Mayhew added that amonia to his bleach a toxic vapor might develop.
Cinci on the other hand is adding amonia to amonia.

Really is anyone suprised that they don’t want him too. Pacman has a criminal record he has to play for the raiders or bengals for atleast a year I think its Law.

If true, glad he is off the market
He is not someone the Lions need at this point. Those who want Pacman seem to think that he is the missing part to greatness. If he is signed to a 1 year contract and performs, then he would want a major extension and if he doesn’t perform then it would have bee a waste of time, money and effort. IMO, it would be better to sign an undrafted, released or practice squad player and draft more next year. Dont’t rush the process Mayhew and Schwartz are doing for short term gains.
soooooo glad we didn't sign troublesome Mr. Gangsta-back
like our secondary needs any more problems.
+1
pacman is at best, an average corner and a below average kick and punt returner with a whole lot of off the field baggage. the only thing i saw pacman doing in motown is being a locker room distraction. no thanks!!
Our FO and coaching staff must like what they have on our current roster...
or that our current roster is just better(without Jones). Mayhew said they would wait until after the draft. To make a decision on Jones. Spievey, Houstson , Wade, and maybe Berry, are just better options, with more upside. I think that is why Mayhew and Schwatz decided not to bring in Jones.

not sure if this has been noted yet
Updating previous reports, the Cincinnati Bengals will not be signing unrestricted free-agent CB Adam Jones (Cowboys) Wednesday, May 5, but everything is in place for him to sign Thursday, May 6, according to NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora.

OCNN BREAKING NEWS -Adam "PacMan Jones is officially a Bengal, you heard here first on OCNN News , the rest can #kissdababy
loser lions
Tell me all you want about this Mayhew being so great. He was part of the millen team and i am not sold. We have a horrid secondary and no LB and he won’t give Pac a shot. Yes the Roy deal was awesome, but he picked a bum in Derrick Williams, did great with Levy and anyone would have taken stafford. I do not think Sims for a bum TE on a one year deal was good. Suh is awesome but could we not have all pulled that off? To give up our draft pick and pos to get a RB at 30 was a stretch. So if the new RB is a bust, if our LB stink, and our coverage continues to stink all you that have not watched this hapless team for 30 years will come back next year for the next great thing. How cheap could we have gotten pac for? Low deal incentive laden, act up and he is out of here. My bet is he contributes much better than these losers we picked up in our trades.
I suppose we'll have to see...
