The Bengals signed wide receiver Matt Jones for his potential as a playmaker, not for his conditioning. Jones, who didn't play last season, wasn't in great shape last week when he worked out for the Bengals, according to a source. He ran decently and caught the ball well enough to convince the Bengals to sign him. The reason the Bengals signed Jones quickly was to give him time to get ready for the team's offseason program.Janikowski cashes in: Sebastian Janikowski did a nice job of convincing the Raiders he would leave in free agency, which led to the $4 million-a-year contract he agreed to on Tuesday. Because Janikowski accounted for 95 of the Raiders' 197 points last season, the Raiders couldn't lose roughly 50 percent of their offense. They were prepared to give him the transition tag if no deal was reached. In the end, the Raiders made him a rich offer he couldn't refuse. Now, they can try to work on getting a deal for defensive end Richard Seymour, but it's more likely he will end up with the franchise tag.Titans, Mawae far apart: The Titans are trying to put the final touches on a five-year deal for guard Eugene Amano, but center Kevin Mawae is nowhere near a new deal. It's not out of the question for the Titans to let Mawae hit the free-agent market. Marshall in Seattle's plans? The Seahawks could be a logical trade suitor for Brandon Marshall now that former Broncos offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates is Seattle coach Pete Carroll's offensive coordinator. Bates had great success with Marshall prior to 2009. The key for the Seahawks is finding a way to make a trade that doesn't take away one of their two first-round picks. Nate Burleson is one of the top unrestricted free agents and the Seahawks might consider trading Deion Branch back to the New England Patriots, which could put them in the market for a top wide receiver.
