It really looks like I've moved to the home of wayward football players.
The Satellite office can only shake its collective head when staring at the thought of the Cincinnati Bengals signing Adam "Pac-Man" Jones to a contract.
Details from the Cincinnati Enquirer's most excellent Joe Reedy RIGHT HERE
It would make some sense if they actually needed someone to play the position that he does. They don't. They already have some pretty good cornerbacks on the team. They drafted another in the 3rd round this year.
We can only surmise that Mike Brown and Marvin Lewis envision the Bengals as the "Land of Misfit Toys". Either that or they are trying to re-claim the "Team Turmoil" label from the Steelers. Or maybe they just want to see how many hardship cases you can put in one stadium before it explodes. Who knows?

According to Mr. Reedy the "Pac-Man" contract would essentially be for the minimum, which is great. But what does he have to offer? I believe what is being said that he is working out like a madman and desperate for another chance to show he is a changed man. Really, I do. I just don't believe that he is that sincere. I don't think he realizes that the problem...from the get go hasn't been anything else, hasn't been his talent...no, the problem has been him.
