No Early Reinstatement For Pacman

In a move that should surprise no one who has been following this story, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has said that he will not be reducing the one-year suspension imposed on Titans cornerback Pacman Jones.
When issuing his decision in April, Goodell said that he would review the situation after ten games. At Jones' request, the two men met last week in New York.
Though Jones hasn't gotten in any new off-field trouble (yet) since April, he has yet to escape jeopardy for pending felony charges in Georgia and in Las Vegas. In fact, his situation in Vegas had gotten worse since the suspension was imposed.
Moreover, Jones made a mockery of the situation by attempting to become a pro wrestler during his suspension. The Titans ultimately filed suit to prevent him from engaging in any wrestling.
Jones will be eligible to re-join the Titans when they commence their 2008 offseason workouts. The bigger question is whether the Titans want him, and whether they'd be able to trade him to another team that is willing to give the No. 6 overall pick in the 2005 draft a second chance. However, we can't imagine anyone taking a chance on him until all pending legal issues are resolved.

Re: No Early Reinstatement For Pacman

I think it's a shame. People in the media seem to want to hold the wrestling thing against him, but in reality, I thought it was a great thing to do - get a temporary replacement job to keep himself out of real trouble. It boggles my mind that more people can't see it like that.

I thought it was the decision but not so much becuse of the wrestling, but because his infractions deserved a full year. Maybe everybody else in the league, including PacMan will know that Goodell aint playing around.

the only thing is pacman got in trouble before goodell and the nfl decided to suspend players for off the field things and the reason he is suspended is questionable because there is no evidence pacman was involved in the shooting in las vegas so they can say he is suspended for all the other things he's done but if thats true why didnt he only get an 8 game suspension like henry did?
