Title: Adam "Pacman" Jones signs with the Bengals.
Post by: MCWAY on May 10, 2010, 12:20:01 PM
It appears the Bengals have found a way to beat the salary cap: Hire problem children and sign them to the league minimum, as they've done with Jones.

Sometimes, it ain't the best team that goes the distance. But it's the best-stocked team. Can the Bengals go deep into the playoffs, instead of getting bounced out the Wildcard Round (as was the case in 2005 and 2009)?

He's ok....well he was with Tennessee.   He just got distracted in Dallas.   TO and all.   But I think Pac can play up to being a top 5 CB in this league...and a top return guy.

No   (he may have the past 5 yrs though) but I know his potential   for being s shutdown cb and return guy. He's very talented and with a clean slate he can turn his life back to what it needs to be.

League minimum is, what, half a million bucks?

If Pacman overachieves, the Bengals get a great corner dirt cheap. If he goes back to acting a fool, Zimmer axes him and that is that.

Why not give him the benifit of the doubt and hope he's learned his lesson.   He had a chance in Dallas but the real reason we dumped him is to make room the 2 rookies (Jenkins and Scandrik) we had at the time.   But Pac is a great CB for teams in need and he won't cost a lot for now.   Its a risky move but he IS a playmaker and those are hard to find. Cicny is showing they want to be great ...there is nothing wrong with that.

I am giving Pacman the benefit of the doubt. I'm simply emphasizing that it's low-risk, low-to-high reward for the Bengals. They seem to be the rehab team, as of late. I believe they also signed crackhead ex-Jaguar wide receiver, Matt Jones.

Zimmer said in the interview that sometimes players will go all out for you, when they realize that it's THEIR LAST CHANCE to play football and make something of themselves in the NFL.

I am not too sure about Matt Jones though.....unless he's tried at QB where he belongs   he's not a wr.   te   hback or whatever, he's a qb.

It is the first game. Hall of Fame game. Great class of inductees this year,too. I really look forward to Hall of Fame weekend. Saturday is the day to watch the inductions and speeches. Sunday is game-day. Let the fight for roster spots begin.

Hall of Fame weekend represents the end of the late summer, most boring time of the year for red-blooded american sports fans. It means that pro football is right arond the corner, along with four months of bliss!

I look fwd to 22 's speech   thats about it....but Sunday is all business!   Especially for the rookies and guys fighting for spots.   The bengals are also interesting to me   so many former Dallas and USC players.   Add Mike Zimmer the Defensive Coordinator.

Zim is cool     good guy    very tuff too.   I like him...matter of fact   i sent him a sympathy card when his wife passed , and he sent me a thank you card!   My BIGGEST worry in this game  is out MLB Sean lee   he CAN become the next urlecher   but his knee still scares me after his injury 2 yrs ago at PSU.  He wears a brace   and it is as noticable as a pink elephant!
