Pacman Jones cut by Dallas after it was learned he arranged to have someone shot

RVING, Texas -- The Cowboys have released Adam "Pacman" Jones and a team source told ESPN's Ed Werder that the move was made after the team learned of new allegations against the troubled cornerback from his time with the Titans.

Jones' release came after "Outside the Lines" reporter John Barr contacted the NFL, the Cowboys and Jones' attorneys about a piece scheduled to air Sunday in which three Atlanta-area men allege that Jones arranged for someone to shoot at them two months after the football player was suspended by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell in 2007.

The June 2007 shooting occurred outside a suburban Atlanta strip club. One of the shooting victims told "Outside the Lines" that he had a dispute with Jones inside the strip club and that not long after he and the two others left the club, a hail of bullets struck their car. The NFL knew about that incident, but charges were never brought against anyone because the victims did not see the shooter.

"Outside the Lines" obtained information that police, investigating a separate Atlanta-area case, had been told by an informant that Jones ordered the June 2007 shooting following his dispute with one of the men. Police have said while the case remains open they are not actively investigating.

1. The Cowgirls were just looking for an excuse to lose this guy.

Whom they never should have signed in the first place. I wouldn't be surprised if Jones planted this story himself. You just can't have that many low character players on a team and have a "team". The fact that they are doing it on some hearsay bullshit that will never stand up in a court of law or is even being investigated is gutless but it had to be done. Pacman has wasted Pro Bowl talent with ridiculous thug behavior. If he is lucky he'll get one more chance in Oakland, where everyone gets their last chance.

2. What kind of world do we live it

where you can lose your job just because you arranged to have a couple of thugs shoot up some dudes in a car outside a strip club. I hope the NFL players union files a grievance on his behalf. I remember when this used to be a free country. :sarcasm:

3. Funny Stuff!

I don't know if you've ever seen the movie "Head Office" (a hilarious satire about big business). In it the CEO (Eddie Albert) says "What's the good in having all this power and money if i can't have someone shot?!?!?"

I thought of that when i read your post.
