Draft: Attorneys Joseph Rocco and C. Clint Sorenson issued a news release Wednesday blaming Terrell Suggs for the March 29 violence outside a basketball tourney at Phoenix Municipal Stadium. The pair contends the defensive end became involved in a heated exchange with several men. They allege that Suggs handed a baseball bat to his younger brother, Donald, and said, "Swing this bat to kill, not to injure."

For them to go to the media with this, it seems coincidental with trying to defame Terrell, who's never had a problem with the law, and to hurt Terrell's draft status."

However, it is believed those players are Kansas State cornerback Terence Newman, Miami receiver Andre Johnson and Kentucky defensive tackle Dewayne Robertson. Jones has also stated that he's not looking to trade down.
