ESPN reported last night that Adam 'Pacman" Jones has been signed to a two-year deal with the Cincinnati Bengals.
My beloved Bengals, who have given a plethora of second chances to the bad boys of the league, just opened up a new can of worms by signing probably the worst of them all (Sorry Pacman, but your reputation precedes you, to the greatest extent).
Sure, Tank Johnson, Chris Henry, Cedric Benson, Larry Johnson, and Matt Jones all took the second chance and turned it into a winning attitude around the locker room, but Adam Jones is the most high-profile bad boy in the league.
If the Bengals hadn't solidified their reputation as a correctional facility for the games biggest liabilities, they most certainly set it in concrete last night.
I don't know how to feel about this, considering Leon Hall and Jonathon Joseph will start at the cornerback positions and are one of the best tandems in the league. Adding Jones will only complicate the position battles, and cause unnecessary drama.
I hope I'm wrong about this one, but signing Pacman makes me a little worried about next season. Hopefully Pacman's ghosts don't spell out GAME OVER while he wears the orange and black.
