I guess we all saw it coming… Pacman Jones has finally been released from his duties with the Cowboys.
The reason of the firing is new allegations against the troubled Pacman stating that he arranged for the shooting of 3 men from Atlanta just two months after he was suspended from the Titans by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell in 2007. Apparently all started when Jones hold a dispute with one of the 3 men, such information came from an Atlanta police informant.
During his tenure with the Titans, Jones got involved in six incidents with the police leading to the same number of arrests.
The Cowboys hired Adam Jones before the current NFL season started in despite of the recent suspension. He was expected to give Dallas a boost in defense, and finished with no interceptions and an average of 4.6 yards per punt return.
Jones already had a bad episode during his time with the Cowboys, as he was suspended for six games due to a violation to the team’s player conduct policy product of fight between him and a team bodyguard.
The Cowboys didn’t have a strong reason to dismiss Pacman Jones, the only possible one is the team image and how Jones can blur the good work owner Jerry Jones is doing.
Worrick Robinson, Pacman’s agent said that he expects Jones to be back with an NFL team for the coming NFL season. “He is young. He has a lot of ability and he is eager to get back on the field” he said.
Pacman Jones is currently attending a rehabilitation program to leave alcohol and is currently planning to remain in the Dallas area in order to workout at old time friend and former NFL cornerback Deion Sanders’s Prime U camp.
