Adam Jones – Free Agent

Pacman Jones is to the NFL is what Rachel Alexandra is to the Preakness odds: the most talked-about contributor. After a long list of off-field issues that include felony vandalism and several arrests for disorderly conduct, he was involved in nightclub shootings in both Atlanta and Las Vegas. He’s already spent one year out of football due to suspension and he’ll probably spend more time vacationing, as no one really wants a piece of this troublemaker.

Plaxico Burress – Free Agent

If Jones is Rachel Alexandra, then Plaxico Burress is the Eight Belles of Preakness betting. Like Eight Belles, Burress also had a “leg injury” when he shot himself with a loaded, unlicensed gun. Good news is that while he survived it – he didn’t exactly help his public relations cause. Burress was cut from his team and nobody wants to touch him with a 10-foot pole. He’s on the waiver-wire and should be facing a long league-imposed suspension.

Sebastian Janikowski – Oakland Raiders

Let’s kick it back old school, as it’s hard to forgive and forget about Oakland Raiders first-round pick Sebastian Janikowski. Before Janikowksi reached the NFL, he already had a good resume of bar fights and police officer briberies. But the best part came when he was busted with the drug GHB, which is used for date rape. Throw in a DUI and this guy could easily be leading this race.

Michael Pittman – Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Running back Michael Pittman’s wheels may not be what they used to be, and his family is happy for that. Once, after Pittman and his wife had one of those family altercations, she took their two-year-old kid, got in the car and drove off for safety purposes. That was until Pittman caught up to them in his Hummer SUV and rammed them off the road into a ditch in an attempt to kill both. Not to worry – he didn’t face jail time or anything silly like that. His career continued right on.

Bernard Scott – Cincinnati Bengals

From the old school to the new school, we’d be remiss if we didn’t include a Cincinnati Bengal on this list. 2009 sixth-round pick, Bernard Scott, should fit right in with the Bengals considering his rap sheet. The sportsbook odds makers are not expecting him to make the team, but considering he’s already been arrested on five separate occasions and he even once hit a coach in college. How nice. They just wouldn’t be the Bengals if they didn’t reach for players like this.
