With the signing of Adam Jones today, CNBC Sports Business reporter Darren Rovell notes that there have been 498 active NFL players arrested since 2000. How did Rovell get this information?

Brent Schrotenboer of the San Diego Union-Tribune has compiled a database involving arrests of NFL players since 2000 that were more serious than speeding tickets. Schrotenboer says on the database that the list should not be considered as the comprehensive record but it does help out in charting a couple statistics. Notably …

In what should not be considered a shock, the Bengals lead the league in most arrests since 2000 and are tied for most arrests since 2005. When it comes to since ‘07 though there are four teams ahead of them.

According to the Union-Tribune there have been 31 arrests involving Bengals since 2000. They are not the runaway leader though. Minnesota trails by one with 30 while Denver, Jacksonville and Kansas City are tied for third with 25.

In arrests since 2005, Cincinnati and Jacksonville are tied with 20. Tennessee has 19 and Minnesota and Denver are tied with 17.

In arrests since 2007, Jacksonville (15), Denver (12), Miami (12), Tampa Bay (10) and Atlanta (10) have more than the Bengals’ nine. Pittsburgh also has nine while Cleveland has eight and Baltimore four.

Oh sure we will. The difference is that Ben has only been accused while the bungals have endured charges and convictions.

Eventually the hate towards Ben will subside and the bungals will continue to amuse us throughout the calendar year.

[Dino 6 Rings]

Wasn't the entire Minnesota roster basically arrested for some nonsense on a boat, which is what makes their number so high?
