Cowboys Cut Pacman

[JakeFlake]

Adam Schefter of NFL Network reported that Dallas has decided to cut Jones, the talented but troubled player who has served as the league's poster boy for off-field misconduct.

This from the Cowboys PR staff moments ago...

The Dallas Cowboys announced the release of cornerback Adam Jones today. The transaction will be made official on February 9th which is the first day that NFL clubs are allowed to make waiver requests.

Talent grants second, third, fourth chances, etc. Once the talent dries up, the chances go away.

He might be done.

[Jangler]

Think he could be ready to play Saturday night?

[Joscott]

I hope other teams learn from this and don't take a chance on him. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

[SteveSmith23]

maybe the raiders will give him a shot? or maybe he can go back to doing that tna wrestling

[Speed]

Not Romo?

[Kevin Greene]

He probably doesn't know, no ESPN at strip clubs.

[PantherDude]

Great. Now I hope the next news we hear on the Cowgirls, they will release, Romo, Owens, & Jerry Jones. :D

I couldn't be an NFL owner. I would always be in trouble with the NFLPA, and probably the league office as well. I've stated for a long time that owners should establish a pay-as-you-play policy. In other words, if you have off the field issues; always getting penalties, having turnovers, getting burned on defense, etc., then your pay should reflect that. You play great- you get great pay. You play like crap- you get crap pay.

From what I've heard so far (and correct me if I'm wrong) but it sounds like ESPN could have put themselves on the hook for a big law suit. Because the Outside the lines reporter sought out the guys that Jones got in a fight with, and they said that Jones had set up someone to shoot at them 2 months after he was supsended back in 2007. now I know this is Pack-man we're talking about but 1, These guys didn't say anything till ESPN's reporter talked to them and in my experience with people with a camera in front of they're face some people will say anything to get on TV. 2, this will be almost impossible to prove in court.

If this turns out to be faults and he was infact released because of this story coming out from ESPN they can be held liable and on the hook for at the very least his remaining contract with Dallas.

You can correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that's how I'm reading this so far.
