nfl Richie Incognito tells The Associated Press he's back
home training in Arizona and feeling
great
Michael
Pierce Jersey , two weeks after the former Buffalo Bills offensive lineman
spent three days in a mental hospital following an alleged outburst at a south
Florida gym.
Without discussing the outburst, Incognito wrote in a text to The AP on
Wednesday that he is still pursuing continuing his NFL career for a 12th season.
He focused a majority of his message thanking friends and fans for their
support, and specifically singled out former teammate, center Eric Wood.
Incognito referred to Wood as a pillar of the community and added: "When I
would have a dark day, he was a bright shining light that helped me through. I
owe him a lot."
Incognito also thanked the Bills and team owners Terry and Kim Pegula for
providing him an opportunity to resurrect his career. The Bills signed Incognito
in January 2015 after he spent 18 months out of football following his role in
the Miami Dolphins' bullying scandal.
He referred to his three seasons in Buffalo as being some of his fondest
memories.
Incognito then closed his message by saying he hopes to sign with another
team so that he can come back to Buffalo to beat the
Bills Ryan
O'Reilly Jersey , before adding a smiling face emoji wearing
sunglasses.
The 34-year-old Incognito has had a tumultuous offseason.
Two weeks ago, police placed Incognito in a mental hospital after he
allegedly threw weights and tennis balls at gym employees and another patron,
and told officers the government is spying on him.
In April, Incognito abruptly fired his agent and then retired by posting a
note on Twitter before having a change of heart. The Bills granted his request
to be released to potentially sign with another team on May 21.
Free agent
cornerback Adam ¡±Pacman¡± Jones will get a tryout with the Cleveland Browns on
Friday.
The 34-year-old Jones has been out of the NFL since March when the Cincinnati
Bengals declined to pick up his $5.5 million contract option.
The Browns have a comfort level with Jones because he previously worked with
Cleveland coach Hue Jackson in Cincinnati.
A Pro Bowl selection in 2015, Jones spent eight seasons with the
Bengals Kawann
Short Jersey , starting 68 games at cornerback and returning punts and
kickoffs. He has started 39 games over the past three years, but his 2017 season
was cut short after nine games because of a groin injury.
Jones has 16 career interceptions, returning two for touchdowns.
He also has a history of off-field problems, but the Browns want to create
more competition in their secondary and will see if Jones can help them.
Jones began his pro career with Tennessee in 2005.
