Pacman will test free agent waters

[Benton]

Jones had a good season, it just ended on a very sour note. Coaches aren't going to look at one moment where he got caught up on the field and say it outweighs a solid season both as a corner and as a returner.

Plus, given the league's changes to make it easier for receivers to catch deep passes, teams need guys like Jones because he can actually cover and tackle. Now, you can't just be a good athlete and use your body to stop the play by flopping around on a receiver.

I think Jones will get another contract here. The team will probably point to the playoffs to keep the dollar down, Jones will probably announce he'll test the free market to get the dollar up.
