Bengals Ink LB Dhani Jones

POSTED: Wednesday, September 19, 2007

(Sports Network) - The Cincinnati Bengals signed veteran linebacker Dhani Jones to one-year contract on Wednesday. Terms of the deal were not released.

Jones, an eight-year veteran, had eight tackles and a sack during five preseason games with New Orleans. The Saints cut him on August 31.

A sixth-round choice of the New York Giants in the 2000 draft, Jones has played in 95 career games with 74 starts, recording 447 tackles (113 solo) with four sacks. He has not missed a game over the last four seasons, spending the 2003 campaign with the Giants and the next three seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles.

He played all 16 games, including 13 starts last season for the NFC East champion Eagles in 2006, recording 93 tackles. Jones also had 10 more tackles in a pair of playoff games.

Jones was released by the Eagles on April 30 of this year.

The Bengals released linebacker Andre Frazier on Tuesday to clear a roster spot for Jones.

NFL Headlines

NFL
Ben Roethlisberger threw for 233 yards and a trio of scores and Pittsburgh's defense came up with three interceptions of Kyle Orton in a 28-10 triumph over the Denver Broncos. Tyrone Carter, starting in place of Ryan Clark, had a pair of interceptions, returning one 48 yards for a touchdown. Troy Polamalu's pick-off set up Roethlisberger's 25-yard scoring toss to Mike Wallace in the fourth quarter. Roethlisberger connected on 21-of-29 passes and was picked off once as the Steelers (6-2) won their fifth straight game. Rashard Mendenhall rushed 22 times for 155 yards, while Hines Ward had a pair of TD catches as Pittsburgh controlled the clock in the second half. Santonio Holmes caught six balls for 93 yards for Pittsburgh, which next hosts Cincinnati in a battle for first place in the AFC North. Clark was inactive due to a blood disorder which makes it dangerous for him to play in high altitudes. He was forced to miss the remainder of the 2007 season after suffering a ruptured spleen following the Steelers' last game at Denver, in December, 2007. He also had to undergo surgery to remove his gall bladder and lost 30 pounds before making a full recovery. After Carter's second interception, with 15 seconds remaining, Clark jumped up and celebrated with his teammates. Orton connected on 23-of-38 passes for 221 yards for the Broncos (6-2), who were coming off a 30-7 blowout loss at Baltimore. Brandon Marshall had 11 receptions for 112 yards, but Denver's running game was nonexistent as the Broncos combined for 27 yards on the ground.
