Matt Jones - don't mind taking a flyer on him. If it doesn't work out, you can let him go. As far as his record goes, drugs and alcohol are problems that can be overcome. Lots of good people become addicted to drugs and alcohol and have gone on to become better people after beating their addictions. I see him as strictly a role player though.
Pacman Jones I want no part of. That guys troubles seem to arise from stupidity and a general lack of good character. I'd rather not have him in the locker room with some of the younger players on the team. That seems like a recipe for off-the-field trouble.
Wear gaudy colors, or avoid display. Lay a million eggs or give birth to one. The fittest shall survive, yet the unfit may live. Be like your ancestors or be different. We must repeat!
Everyone says Matt Jones is "no risk". What happens if he makes the team as the #3 receiver, then gets picked up for drugs around week 5? How did this team react after losing the #3 receiver this season? Players with a pattern of making bad choices are certainly a risk.
Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.

Personally, I'd love to see the Bengals go after and sign on March 5th Jason Avant. Avant can play all three WR's spots that Chad doesn't play, and, though this may be a detriment on him becoming a Bengal, he's as good a person as you'll find. Avant right now is better than every receiver on the Bengals not named Chad. Avant is one of the Top 24 Wide Receivers in the NFL. He's on a team loaded with depth, though. He's an unrestricted Free Agent, so the Eagles can't match, even if there's no CBA. He caught 71% of the passes thrown to him last year.
