Bengals Not Picking Up 2018 Option For CB Adam Jones, Making Him Free Agent

Like him or not, on or off the field, the fact of the matter is that Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Adam Jones has been among the biggest tests at his position for Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger over the years. Having frequently drawn responsibilities covering Antonio Brown, Jones has held his own far better than most in that same role.

But if he continues to do so, it will not happen in Cincinnati, as the Bengals have elected not to pick up their club option for him, which will make the 34-year-old an unrestricted free agent in a couple of days.
