The Bengals are still interested in Adam "Pacman" Jones?

PrintIn early February the Bengals signed Matt Jones, who didn't play in 2009 after being released because of a failed drug test, which violated his probation. Around that time, the Bengals expressed interest in Donte Stallworth (before signing Jones) and worked out cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones. Talk about a lineup. I know. Right? Jones reportedly had a really bad workout, Stallworth signed with the Baltimore Ravens and Pacman Jones has worked out for some NFL teams but serious interest is somewhat limited.
Ray Savage, agent for Pacman Jones, says that several teams are interested. They include the Detroit Lions, the San Francisco 49ers and the... Cincinnati Bengals?
Granted. This is probably a play by the agent to increase Jones' market value -- which is hitting rougher waters than Al Gore's endless pursuit of Manbearpig.
And the "interest" probably goes back to when the team worked Jones out in February and Savage -- albeit wisely -- kept Cincinnati in his list of teams that were interested. No contract was offered when he left Cincinnati and the words "Pacman" and "Bengals" haven't been spoken in the same breath until today.

it's an upgrade...
I know that there are some people that may think that this is not a good move but lets look at it another way….. Jones is goin to still b a good corner… y not hav him as a nickel with hall and joseph…. the we can draft a safety and go big on the line… it will improve our #5 rank defensive…..I say go for it!

RE:
I think the question is mostly about him being off for a full season. I know that Matt Jones is in the same boat, but Jones (WR) is also on the outside looking in — no reason to believe right now that even he makes the roster.
With CB, you can continue upgrading CB through the draft with your lower rounds rather than a high profile PR nightmare.
Just my two cents though.

fortunately
If his workout was that bad, it’s doubtful he would have made the Bengals anyway. Better for him that he goes there; better for us that we look elsewhere for a 4th or 5th CB.
+1 on the Meanbearpig reference

Bengals meet Reds
Maybe Matt Jones can be the Bengals version of Josh Hamilton. Adam Jones would be the Bengals version of signing Dion Sanders, a lot of flash that draws fan interest with marginal production.

Thank God for Detroit!
Did I just say that? Oh, well. I mean it! They saved the Bengals from themselves.
I seriously would refuse to watch any games this season on moral grounds if Pacman were a member of this team. I’m not going to explain to my kids that, yes, the Bengals are fun to watch, but some of them are not good people… Nope. not going there. No Bengals in my house if they bring that shit here.
No degree of prosperity can be sufficient to eliminate all misfortune, and sloth is impervious to opportunity.
PAC MAN
Well Kazahani, I personally dont think Mike Brown, Marvin Lewis or any other person that is part of unning the team in some aspect could care less if you watch the game in your house or not. This is a business and if it benefits the team in any way, they will hire PAC MAN to run around in their backfield whether you decide to tell your kids anything. There are players on every team that has gotten into trouble and are called BAD PEOPLE, however they can run, pass, defend, score and many other things, thats why thy get signed.

Judge them by how they play on the field
Experienced players generally deliver better on field results than unknown talented draftees. Mike Brown and Marvin Lewis are known to give good quality experienced players more than second chances because they had gone through the pro ball system and understand the roles that players play. Pacman Jones had his talents but is he physically fit and has the inner desire to play intelligently again? If the Pacman can return punts and kickoffs the way he was doing them breaking tackles with his speed, it will be a good pick-up for the Bengals. Football teams and coaches are not baby sitters.
Sign Him !
He’s first round talent on the cheap to create great depth ! Solid Kick and Punt Returner… and an immediate upgrade from Morgan Trent !
