Adam Jones, troubled cornerback of the Dallas Cowboys, was suspended by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for a minimum of four games. Last week, Jones was involved in an altercation with a bodyguard that was appointed by owner Jerry Jones. Police were called to the scene, and it was reported that there were some damages to a bathroom in the hotel they were in at the time of the altercation. This is the latest straw in a string of incidents involving Jones. Jones spent his first couple of seasons with the Tennessee Titans and has been arrested or involved in incidents numerous times. He was suspended for the entire year last season, and in the offseason, the Titans traded him to the Cowboys. He vowed to never get into any kind of trouble again, but this was a setback. It was reported that Goodell will decide after the four game suspension what course of action will happen next with Jones. On the same day, the Cowboys acquired wide receiver Roy Williams from the Detroit Lions for a first round, third round, and sixth round pick in the 2009 NFL Draft. Williams gives the Cowboys an immediate offensive boost, alongside wide receiver Terrell Owens. Quarterback Tony Romo has a broken pinkie finger and reports earlier in the week were that he would miss four weeks. Now, he has practiced throwing the football and reports are that he will play against the St. Louis Rams on Sunday. I think the suspension of Jones, in my opinion, is unnecessary and it leaves the secondary very depleted with an injury to Terrence Newman. What do you think of the Cowboys' situation? Will Roy Williams help their offense and Owens?
