Jones has rebuilt his career with Cincinnati (7-5), which hosts Dallas (6-6) on Sunday. He's thankful the Bengals gave him the chance after repeated suspensions while with Tennessee and Dallas.

Jones says he loves Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, but had other issues with the organization that he won't rehash.
Jones must pay $11 million in damages to two Las Vegas strip club employees injured in 2007 when a lone gunman claiming he was doing Jones' bidding attacked.|||||||

The Bengals re-signed Jones and offensive tackle Anthony Collins on Friday. Cincinnati also signed defensive end Derrick Harvey, a free agent who played for the Broncos last season.|||||||
Jones has played five years in the NFL, and will enter his third season with the Bengals. He was sidelined with a neck injury last season, but still played in eight games, including the last seven as a starter. He had 31 tackles.
