The NFL released a statement today saying that Commissioner Roger Goodell has approved "limited reinstatement" for suspended Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam Pacman Jones.

The statement reads as follows::

Commissioner Roger Goodell notified Adam Jones today that, effective immediately, he may participate in organized team activities with the Dallas Cowboys, including training camp and preseason games. In a letter to Jones, Commissioner Goodell wrote that a final determination on his reinstatement for the 2008 regular season will be made by September 1. Commissioner Goodell told Jones that his continued participation in the NFL depends on demonstrating that he can conduct himself in a lawful and reliable manner. Jones will be expected to continue the personal conduct program established for him by the NFL and the Cowboys and to avoid further adverse involvement with law enforcement.

Quote from Dallas Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones:
"This limited re-instatement is a step in the process. Adam is aware of the things that need to be done in order to take the next step."

I like it. It's like Goodell is telling Jones, "Okay, you say you're going to keep him straight? You talk the talk, now let's see if you can walk the walk. If nothing happens between now and September, he'll be able to play this year." He's challenging Jones to live up to his promises. I really, really like it.

Ya know, I like it too.

I'm really getting to like Goodell.

I agree, this was a good move, shows pacman hes not out of the water yet but he will get to play if he says clean until sept. 1..

I like that he's sort of reinstated for the same reasons.
But I see it slightly different. Goodell wasnt happy with Pacman going back to Las Vegas. However, Jerry is a big man in the NFL. So he meets Jerry part way.
Jerry says I got what I wanted. I can now find out if this guy is going to be worth all the headaches he is going to be giving me.

Good way to play.... I still don't want the guy on the team though.
