Bengals Coach Marvin Lewis calls Adam Pacman Jones a 'great teammate'
November 3
Tennessean
 
"Bengals Coach Marvin Lewis said Adam "Pacman" Jones is a different player than the one the Titans dealt with from 2005-07, when off-field issues kept him in the headlines and led to his NFL suspension. During a conference call with Nashville media on Wednesday, Lewis seemed to blame West Virginia for not having Jones better prepared coming out of college. The Titans drafted Jones with the sixth overall pick in 2005. The cornerback/returner joined the Bengals last year, but not before Lewis got some feedback from former Titans Coach Jeff Fisher. "My experience with Adam has been excellent, and I am very close with Jeff Fisher. … I really talked with Jeff a lot about Adam when Adam was still"
Bengals' Adam Jones hot topic in Titans media
November 3
Cincinnati Enquirer
 
"Bengals cornerback Adam Jones will make his first appearance Sunday at LP Field in Nashville, Tenn., since he was a member of the Titans five years ago. Whether or not he plays remains uncertain. Jones, who did not practice Wednesday, worked out on the side field. Following last Sunday's win in Seattle, Jones was determined not to miss a game. But he sounded less certain Wednesday. "If the game was today, could I play? Yeah, I could play. Would I play is a big question," Jones said. "If it's better for me to sit out this week and wait till next week to play for myself and my team, that's what I would do. We'll make decisions accordingly. Right now, I don't know.""
Adam 'Pacman' Jones: I was too immature with Tennessee Titans
November 1
Tennessean
 
"Adam "Pacman" Jones blames himself. Arguably the most controversial player ever to wear a Tennessee Titans uniform, Jones says he nearly threw away his NFL career — and his life — because he was an immature kid who had a difficult time changing his ways. Now with the Cincinnati Bengals, who play the Titans on Sunday at LP Field, Jones says he's a different person. The cornerback and return man says he holds no grudge against the team that made him the sixth overall pick of the 2005 draft, only to trade him three years later. In a 25-minute phone conversation with The Tennessean on Monday, Jones opened up about his days with the Titans and his new approach to life. "It would have never"

"The Bengals activated cornerback Adam Jones from the Physically Unable to Perform list Friday and will play him Sunday in Seattle against the Seahawks. It will be the first game for Jones since he suffered a neck injury at Atlanta on Oct. 24 of last year. "It's been a good week so we'll bring Adam to the roster right now," Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis said after Friday's practice. "He's done everything he can be. He can't tackle anymore dummies than he's tackled, including this week. For the last month he's been over there tackling that big tackling dummy and the thing on the big tripod and doing all of that." The team has an open spot on its 53-man roster this week because of the"

"A year to the day after injuring his neck in a game at Atlanta, Bengals cornerback Adam Jones was back practicing with teammates. On Monday, the team cleared Jones to return to practice on a roster exemption. Jones was unable to play in the Bengals first six games after he was placed on the physically unable to perform list to start the season. When Jones returned to practice, it began a three-week roster exemption. He can be added to the active roster at any time during this period. "I competed good today and it was good to get back out there in the swing of things and enjoy the competition," Jones said. "Physically I felt there. Mentally it was different out there with the calls but the"

"It has been a long process for Adam Jones, but starting Monday he gets one step closer to returning to the field. The Bengals cornerback was put on the PUP list when the preseason ended but he is eligible to return to the 53-man roster after today's game against the Colts. When asked if he saw himself playing in the Oct. 30 game at Seattle, Jones said he is ready to go.

"After the television interview on Sunday where Adam Jones said he had surgery on his neck four weeks ago, we have done some digging around to find out if it was a surgery and if it is a setback in his rehab from last year's injury. Here is what we have been able to find out after talking to various sources: Jones did have a procedure on his neck recently but it was to make sure that the bone graft from last year's surgery was still healing properly and that Jones does continue to wear the neck brace under doctor's orders. The procedure found that the neck is continuing to heal properly and that he should be ready for the season barring any setbacks. When it comes to training camp and the"

Pryor, who has admitted to trading memorabilia to a Columbus, Ohio, tattoo artist for money and tattoos, said Tuesday he would forgo his senior season.

Jones suffered a herniated disc in his neck during the fourth quarter of Sunday's 39-32 loss in Atlanta.

"Cornerback Adam Jones lay on the right side of the end zone with the Cincinnati training staff looking over him. He had just suffered a neck stinger during Falcons receiver Roddy White's two-point conversion play that put Atlanta up 32-25 early in the fourth quarter. Jones' neck went numb, causing him to crash to the turf. It would be the end of the day for Jones, who earned his first start of the season in place of injured cornerback Johnathan Joseph. On Cincinnati's ensuing possession, running back Cedric Benson coughed the ball up on the Atlanta 39 yard line and the Falcons recovered. Cornerback Morgan Trent came in for Jones and was on the field when the Falcons sealed the game with"

After giving a brief statement last Tuesday, Jones spent 15 minutes on Wednesday with reporters on a variety of subjects, including what he has to do to make the roster and the changes he has made off the field after playing in only nine games the past three years. "I'm 26 years old now, so I can't do the same things I was doing at 21, or I'm going to be dead or in jail," Jones said. "I know what my passion is, and my passion is football. I know what I've got to do to keep playing football, and that's what I'm working on doing." Jones also said that he is treating football more like a business, which is one of the biggest reasons why"

The former first-round draft pick of the Tennessee Titans took no questions Tuesday following his first practice session with the Bengals, who signed him to a two-year contract Monday. In a brief statement, he offered a litany of thanks and his assertion that his skills have not diminished over the past five years, during which he played only three seasons. He was suspended for all of 2007, while still a member of the Titans, and sat out last season after the Dallas Cowboys cut him.

"About a week ago, the main storyline from the first day of the Bengals on-field coaching sessions was supposed to be about seeing how quick Carson Palmer could build a rapport with a new cast of receivers. Instead, the focus shifted to the player wearing number 24. One day after signing a two-year contract, Adam "Pacman" Jones was on a football field for the first time in 17 months and didn't look too much out of place. Jones did not take any questions on Tuesday, but did give a one-minute statement. "I think I still have the skill set that I've had that made me a high draft choice," Jones said. "I know I have a ton of work to do. To gain you guys' trust is not going to come overnight,"

Detroit News
 
"Does the addition of cornerback Amari Spievey, drafted by the Lions in the third round of last weekend's NFL draft, mean that the Lions are less likely to sign Adam "Pacman" Jones now? Not necessarily, according to Lions general manager Martin Mayhew. "You know, we're still kind of evaluating everything now. I wouldn't say (Jones is) in play or not," Mayhew said Sunday. "Nothing's really changed from the time we talked at the league meetings. At that time, I said the next step in the process with (Jones) would be to sit down and talk with him. We don't have that scheduled; we haven't planned anything about that. We'll see how it goes.""

"Lions general manager Martin Mayhew confirmed the Lions' interest in free-agent cornerback Pacman Jones, whose well-documented troubled past has kept the former first-round pick out of the NFL two of the last three seasons. Sheldon White, the Lions' vice president of player personnel, attended Jones' workout for a handful of teams last week in New Orleans. "I would say nothing's imminent," Mayhew said. "But we're definitely tracking that and gathering more information. And he's a guy that has a skill set that would help us." Asked if he'd categorize the Lions' interest as "strong" or simply doing their due diligence, Mayhew said, "Probably somewhere between those two things." "If it was"

"Adam "Pacman" Jones was arrested six times and involved in as many as a dozen incidents that involved the police in a three-year span after the Tennessee Titans made the talented cornerback a first-round draft pick in 2005. But that's a headache Titans coach Jeff Fisher hasn't had to deal with since Tennessee traded Jones to Dallas in April 2008. Two years later, the Lions and coach Jim Schwartz, who was Fisher's defensive coordinator in Tennessee during Jones' stay, are investigating the possibility of signing Jones as a free agent.

"Trouble has followed Adam "Pacman" Jones throughout his NFL career. But the talented cornerback says he's hoping to put it behind him, much like Saints defensive end Anthony Hargrove, whose comeback from a drug suspension in 2008 culminated in a Super Bowl ring last season. The Lions met with both players last week, and coach Jim Schwartz indicated Sunday at the owners' meetings that each remains a possibility to end up in Detroit. Hargrove, a restricted free agent, visited the Lions on Wednesday, while Sheldon White, vice president of pro personnel, attended Jones' workout Friday in New Orleans along with representatives from a handful of teams.

In the first playoff game at their $1.2 billion stadium, the Cowboys dominated in all three phases and never trailed, leading 27-7 at halftime and 34-7 after three quarters.

"The decision was made last month, but the Cowboys will officially part ways with cornerback Adam Jones today, the first day teams are allowed to waive players for the 2009 season. The move will save the Cowboys $1 million against the 2009 salary cap because his four-year, $13.3 million deal did not have any guaranteed money. Jones' six-game suspension last season for an altercation at a Dallas hotel cost him roughly $247,000 in base salary in 2008 and roster and workout bonuses totaling $1.35 million in 2009-10.

"Adam Jones thinks he "might be back in Dallas" next season. If he is, then the man sitting next to him during Saturday's interview on CBS likely will be required to be in Dallas at times, too. That was Pacman's attorney. No one thinks Pacman will return. But is it because he fought with his bodyguard and was suspended last season, or because his career incidents topped a dozen, or because of another story that will be broadcast today on ESPN? It's because Pacman averaged just 4.5 yards on punt returns last season. There's always a chance Jerry Jones does re-sign Pacman, since there's a chance Jerry will do almost anything. After all, Mike Shanahan is still unemployed in 2009, and Wade"

"The party line out of Titans Central has been no comment on the latest entries in the sordid saga that is Adam "Pacman" Jones' NFL career. Can't say I blame them. The less said, the better. For the Titans, this is the ultimate in addition by subtraction. It is a weight off the franchise, which has reinvented itself and now sits atop the NFL as the league's only undefeated team. Like general manager Mike Reinfeldt noted recently, it's a relief that when they flash a picture of Pacman on the TV screen after some off-field indiscretion, he's now shown in a Cowboys uniform instead of a Titans jersey. Pacman's exit via a trade in April is symbolic of a change in the culture of the organization."
