NEW YORK - Tank Johnson is the latest NFL player to feel the impact of commissioner Roger Goodell's crackdown on off-field misbehavior The Chicago Bears' defensive tackle was suspended Monday for the first eight games of the 2007 NFL season, the third player sidelined this offseason under Goodell's toughened personal-conduct policy. Johnson, who recently spent two months in the Cook County jail for violating probation on a gun charge, joins Tennessee's Adam "Pacman" Jones, suspended for the entire season, and Cincinnati's Chris Henry, out eight games. Jones, who's appealing his suspension, has been arrested five times and had 10 interviews with police since being drafted in April 2005. Henry is one of nine Bengals arrested last year - one of the reasons Goodell, with the approval of the players union and newly established players' council, established his "get tough" policy. http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/6885758 DENVER (AP) - Sam Adams, a 350-pound defensive tackle and three-time Pro Bowl player, signed with the Denver Broncos after spending last season with Cincinnati. Adams previously played for Buffalo, Oakland, Baltimore and Seattle. He won a Super Bowl ring with the Ravens after the 2000 season and played in the title game with Oakland two years later. He was a first-round pick of Seattle in 1994, the eighth overall choice in the draft.. Adams, who will turn 34 this month, is known as a run-stuffer but also has 44 career sacks, fourth among active defensive tackles. Adams started all 16 games for the Bengals last year with 25 tackles, two sacks for eight yards and one pass breakup.
