Former Bengals CB Adam Jones Arrested For Assault, Says He ‘Did What I Needed To Do’

Former Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Adam Jones didn’t have many fans in Pittsburgh. And that wasn’t because he was a solid player on the field—which he was. It was because of who he was off the field, which had even Bengals fans questioning why he deserved a job.

A former sixth-overall pick by the Tennessee Titans, they traded him to the Dallas Cowboys after two seasons due to numerous off-field incidents, which included slamming an exotic dancer’s head against the stage after she began picking up $1 bills he threw onto the stage, which ultimately blew up into a full-scale altercation resulting in a member of Jones’ party shooting a security guard.
