Cleveland Browns miss opportunity by not signing Pac Man Jones
By Joel W. Cade
The Cleveland Browns need help in the secondary, even if it is merely a camp body. They missed a golden opportunity when they failed to sign Adam Jones.
The Cleveland Browns need attitude. One of the major pieces missing from the Browns over the past (fill in the blank) years has been an in-your-face, don’t take any crap, chippy attitude. The Browns have been bullied by the AFC North and they passively take it.
If this team is going to turn itself around as general manager John Dorsey and owner Jimmy Haslam believe it can, then the Browns will need to adopt a major attitude and chip on their shoulders.
Given that most of the current roster has not played with a chip on their shoulder over the past few years, it would make sense to import a player who brings that to the table.

On offense, the player who is to bring that chip was No. 1 overall selection Baker Mayfield. Although he has brought the attitude, it is has been newly acquired wide receiver Jarvis Landry who has brought the attitude to the offense.
But who will bring it to the defense? The defense showed signs of attitude last season. But they need that one person or persons to raise it to the next level.
The perfect person for that job was Adam “Pac Man” Jones. Jones is the quintessential player with attitude. He calls out his opponents both on and off the field. Who can forget his calling out former Browns receiver Terrelle Pryor for being garbage? Has Pryor done anything to prove him wrong?
This type of attitude is exactly what the Browns need to raise their defense to the next level. Signing Jones would have been a boon to the defense.
