I hope this is accurate because if it is it is an actual good move in the right direction.

But I'm sure some will find fault with this good decision too.
Good to hear.
How much is he worth?

Feels almost as good as when Maualuga was released.

Love Jones and I'm a big fan, but I still can't forgive him for that personal foul at the end of the playoff loss (granted that he never would have even been in that position if Hill just holds onto the ball).
I'd love to have him back as a rotational guy that can also focus a lot more on punt returns because he's a dangerous weapon back there, but obviously at a much reduced price.
I doubt anyone comes calling for a 35-year-old with his kind of past, so I imagine we'll see him back here, which I'm happy about

Cut Michael Johnson and sign the best free agent center and Watkins and I will take back posts I made earlier today.
Won't be stunned if we draft a corner in first round.

Was the right move. Wouldn't mind having him back at a reduced rate though. Solid back-up & very good punt returner.

Good. You can't pay Jones that much with the emergence of WJ3 and already paying DK and Dennard $18 mill against the cap this year alone so they gotta play. Jones would have to see limited snaps and $6.5 mill is too much for a player on limited snaps.
EDIT - With that said, If I were Adam Jones, I'd check to see what my guy Mike Zimmer would offer me. Much rather be a backup for a true contender than a team who has some serious work to do this offseason to make the playoffs again.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
Sorry for Party Rocking!

But... I thought he was MB's love-child and he would trot him out as a starter for the next 5 years?
See the type of idiocy pessimism brings?

Good, I'm glad.
Now use the money to help get a free agent to improve this team.

Great news, would be willing to bring him back for lesser pay as a Returner and backup CB maybe.
Even though i don't care for the guy off the field.

Two middling FAs at $3 mill each...coming up!

FYI...This puts the Bengals' available cap at just over $40 mill. Spotrac estimates roughly $9 mill that needs to be reserved for draft picks, but that still leaves $31 mill to spend on FAs and extensions.

No one will ever admit they said that.
They will just move on to the next "absolute guarantee" and claim they are never wrong.

Thanks for the update. Even with some front loaded guaranteed money added into this year's deals for Geno or Dunlap, there should be plenty left to actually plug a few holes. Even if it's with cut or traded players, there is money.
