The Cincinnati Bengals made it official Monday morning, releasing an announcement that the team has signed free agent cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones.
The Bengals have tried to downplay their interest in Jones throughout the offseason, and the team’s announcement was fairly understated and straightforward, offering the basic information about Jones’ on-field career (playing for the Titans in 2005 and 2006 and the Cowboys in 2008), but only a cursory mention of his 2007 suspension, and no quotes from Jones or anyone with the Bengals.
We reported last week that the Bengals would be signing Jones. Over the weekend it was reported that the decision to bring Jones in wasn’t unanimous within the Bengals’ front office.
Jones is with the Bengals today and will participate tomorrow in the team’s on-field session at Paul Brown Stadium.
