According to a recent report, the Oakland Raiders will be one of several teams interested in veteran cornerback Pacman Jones.

With star cornerback Josh Norman staying off the market after being franchised tagged by the Carolina Panthers, the Oakland Raiders reportedly are already focusing their interest on the players who will be available to them when free agency opens next week. With a proven, physical cornerback coming off a few years of playoff experience being a player who is high on their list.

According to ProFootballTalk, the Raiders are one of several teams interest in Adam “Pacman” Jones once the cornerback hits the open market. Something that the Cincinnati Bengals are trying to avoid as they continue their talks with the veteran corner in the final days before free agency begins.

PFT reported that the Raiders are one of five teams interested in Jones, who told PFT Live that the Bengals are still trying to make it work with a deal to keep him off of the open market.

From ProFootballTalk:

There’s been plenty of talk in the past day or so about the Cowboys possibly making a play for cornerback Adam Jones, who spent a season in Dallas earlier in his career. And, yes, the Cowboys are in play for a reunion. But other teams are, too. Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the Cowboys, Raiders, Dolphins, Vikings, and Browns also are in the mix for Jones. The Bengals likewise hope to retain him.

Jones is a physical cornerback who has a reputation that the Raiders know well as being a hard-nosed veteran who can do his job every Sunday. Jones famously welcomed Amari Cooper to the NFL during Week 1 this past season, and it appears that his play has impressed the Raiders defensive coaches to the point that Oakland will be amongst the buyers interested in the 32-year-old cornerback this month.
