 Reports have surfaced that suspended Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones is going to ask NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to be reinstated into the league once again on Tuesday.
Jones' agent, Many Arora, claimed he wants Jones to be able to work out for some teams before the draft, as reported by ESPN.com: The Dallas Morning News and The (Fort Worth) Star-Telegram first reported that Arora said Jones, suspended indefinitely following several run-ins with the law, would file for reinstatement on Tuesday. "We were hoping something would get worked out with the Titans or another team to work out a trade, but the trade talks, the way I read, aren't progressing as well as we hoped," Arora said on Saturday. "If the commissioner reinstates or grants permission to work out at a team's facility, that should east the risk factor for a team interested in picking him up." The NFL sent Jones a letter in late February telling him he could not work out at the Titans' facility. The Titans have given Jones permission to talk to other teams about a trade, and the Dallas Cowboys have shown the most interest. But the talks reportedly have bogged down over compensation.
Last week, Ed Werder of ESPN reported that Jones offered to give up a $1.2 million bonus he earned to try to offset the $1.275 million that the team wants him to repay. Jones' original contract includes base salaries in excess of $1.2 million for the upcoming season, $1.7 million in 2009 and more than $2 million during the final year of the contract.
