Posted March 26, 201015 yr comment_873279 [b][size="5"]Agent: Teams interested in Pacman[/size][/b] [b]Detroit, San Fran, Cincinnati among teams reportedly interested in Pacman[/b] DETROIT (AP) -- The agent for Adam "Pacman" Jones says several teams have expressed interest in the cornerback, but no signing is imminent. Ray Savage told The Associated Press on Friday that the [url="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/nfl/teams/lions"][color="#ec2c21"]Detroit Lions[/color][/url], San Francisco 49ers and [url="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/nfl/teams/bengals"][color="#ec2c21"]Cincinnati Bengals[/color][/url] are among the suitors for the troubled player. Savage says he hopes to set up in-person visits with those teams in the near future. Lions coach Jim Schwartz said earlier this week that his team was "definitely interested" in signing Jones. The 26-year-old was suspended for the 2007 season by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for repeated off-field incidents, including six arrests since the [url="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/nfl/teams/titans"][color="#ec2c21"]Tennessee Titans[/color][/url] drafted him in 2005. The [url="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/nfl/teams/cowboys"][color="#ec2c21"]Dallas Cowboys[/color][/url] released Jones after the 2008 season. He didn't play last year.

March 26, 201015 yr comment_873294 Sounds as if Pac Man is going to sign with the Lions. [quote] [b][url="http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/03/26/last-word-on-pacman-to-detroit/"]Last word on Pacman to Detroit[/url][/b] Posted by Mike Florio on March 26, 2010 1:19 PM ET Our early-morning report regarding a deal between Pacman Jones and the Detroit Lions has created an immediate string of contrary accounts. Officially, the [url="http://apps.detnews.com/apps/blogs/lionsblog/index.php?blogid=2088"]Lions have no comment[/url], per John Niyo of the [i]Detroit News[/i]. As we've heard it, via NBC Sports Digital G.M. Rick Cordella's intel gathering in Las Vegas, an agreement has been struck, and the Lions will announce it on Tuesday. We've spoken to Cordella again, and we stand by the report. But here's the thing. We wouldn't rule out the possibility of the Lions delaying the announcement, now that word has leaked. Also, if Jones hasn't already signed a contract and if the Lions think that the leak traces to him and not them, the Lions might decide not to proceed.[/quote]

Ray Savage told The Associated Press on Friday that the Lions, Bengals and 49ers have "great interest". Jones began his comeback tour in Cincinnati on Feb. 11 but the general reviews were that he wasn't prepared. Said Jones' other agent, Tom Hunter: "The workout in Cincinnati went well and it shows they have an interest. The teams know he is an extremely talented athlete in condition and ready to play. He can get on the field and start immediately." A workout at a New Orleans high school went much better. Per Savage, Jones ran a 4.42 and 4.48 in the 40-yard dash on FieldTurf. While the Bengals did not attend that workout, they have continued to kick the tires in respect to Jones and could have him in for a workout in the next week or two, which Savage also confirmed to the AP. The Lions and 49ers were at the workout. While Savage mentioned the Niners, director of player personnel Trent Baalke told the Santa Rosa Press Democrat: "At this time there is absolutely no interest in Pacman. And I don't see that changing." With Johnathan Joseph and Leon Hall firmly entrenched as the starters, Jones would factor in as a third corner and would compete with David Jones and Morgan Trent. He would also be looked at as a kick or punt returner. "He's a phenomenal player. He's extremely focused and well determined to play," Hunter said. "He's a great young man and it is our hope he will be playing soon."

March 26, 201015 yr Author comment_873302 [b][size="5"][color="#000000"]Bengals still interested in 'Pacman' Jones?[/color][/size][/b] March, 26, 2010 By James Walker According to the agent of Adam "Pacman" Jones, the [url="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=cin"][color="#608fd6"]Cincinnati Bengals[/color][/url] are [url="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5030959"][color="#608fd6"]one of three teams[/color][/url] which could be in the running for the troubled cornerback. The question is [i]why[/i]? Signing embattled receiver [url="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=8436"][color="#225db7"]Matt Jones[/color][/url] was enough. But adding [url="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=8421"][color="#225db7"]Adam Jones[/color][/url] to the mix would be too much for Cincinnati. The Bengals are not desperate for cornerbacks. In fact, [url="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=10462"][color="#225db7"]Leon Hall[/color][/url] and [url="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=9610"][color="#225db7"]Johnathan Joseph[/color][/url] are the biggest strength the team currently has. At best, signing the controversial Jones would make him a backup who might play several snaps a game on obvious passing downs. Cincinnati can select someone in next month's NFL draft to do the same--with far fewer character risks. Besides getting someone on the cheap, I never fully understood Cincinnati's infatuation this offseason with Adam Jones. Cornerback is not a weakness, yet the Bengals were reportedly the first team to give Jones a workout this offseason. The [url="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=det"][color="#225db7"]Detroit Lions[/color][/url] and [url="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=sfo"][color="#225db7"]San Francisco 49ers[/color][/url] were the other two teams identified in the report, and perhaps Jones is a better fit for those clubs. But if Cincinnati for some reason decides to make this move, [size="2"][b]it would be another head-scratching decision by Bengals management.[/b][/size] [url="http://espn.go.com/blog/afcnorth/post/_/id/11009/bengals-still-interested-in-pacman-jones"]http://espn.go.com/b...in-pacman-jones[/url] I wonder what the other head-scratching decisions are?

The formerly troubled and suspended player has been out of the league for an extended period of time, but has stayed out of trouble for roughly two years and faces no hurdles or impediments in returning to the NFL. Jones was reinstated by NFL Commissioner [b]Roger Goodell[/b] in 2008 and does not need to fulfill any other obligations to the league to return to the field. According to the league, Jones' status is that he is a free agent eligible to sign with any team. The Bengals, 49ers and Lions have all [url="http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d8172922d&template=with-video-with-comments&confirm=true"][color="#364c88"]expressed considerable interest[/color][/url] in Jones and met with him, and he could make return visits with those teams next week, according to a source. He is a former first-round pick of the Tennessee Titans and also had a brief stint with the Cowboys.

March 26, 201015 yr comment_873307 Man runs 4.42 40 and people don't want to sign him? How the fuck could you not want to sign him? He's pure insurance in case joseph or hall go down with an injury, which they both have. SIGN THE MAN! He will lock down teams slot recievers in this new pass happy league. He can also return punts, i love what quan did last year,but pacman is electrifying.
March 26, 201015 yr comment_873310 Pac can be a solid DB and a total motherfucker in the return game... That said, he is a fucking idiot who makes the dumbest decisions in life. In the short time he actually played here in TN there may have been at least 5 games where he was the difference and they got the win. That's exactly why ex-TN DC Schwartz is after him..
March 26, 201015 yr comment_873313 PASS we've had enough image problems that we've had to overcome signing this lowlife would undo alot of it
March 26, 201015 yr comment_873315 He was an incredibly talented CB, the rare elite CB type. Complete knucklehead.
March 26, 201015 yr comment_873317 Sign him for 1 year with the club's option for another year. If he is that fast and is ready to play now, we would be foolish not to sign him. Our defense would only become better. We took another chance on Slim, now it's time to take a chance on Pacman.

[/quote] Ironically they played together at WVU. I'd be ok with it. I'd like another vet corner so we don't have to worry about Trent starting, also I think Trent would be a great 4th corner.

I never watched him with the Cowboys, but apparently he didn't look like the old Pacman.
March 28, 201015 yr comment_873570 Pac is a difference-maker [b]in the return game[/b].. Would only be backup material in the backfield.

It’s no big risk as I see it.[/i] From a personnel standpoint,[b] it’s not wrong. TML just tires of the Bengals’ persistent bottom-feeding.
