Adam "Pacman" Jones, defensive back for the Dallas Cowboys, has been released by the Cowboys amid new allegations that has come up involving Jones. In the new allegations brought up against Jones, it was reported by ESPN's John Barr that Jones ordered people to shoot someone in an Atlanta nightclub back in June of 2007.
At that time, Jones was on suspension from the NFL because of his conduct off the field already being a major problem. Jones was suspended the entire 2007 season. Police are not actively investigating the allegations at this moment.
While these allegations have been made, Jones has been strong to deny them. In Jones's comments about the situation and his release, he expressed disappointment toward ESPN for reporting the story. He also stated that there will be a lawsuit filed against ESPN for reporting the story. Jones has been involved in over 10 off-the-field incidents since being drafted by the Tennessee Titans in 2005. The Titans traded him to the Cowboys after they expressed that they no longer wanted him because of his off-the-field troubles.
In this case, I believe there are two scenarios. The first scenario is that the allegations are true, and Jones did commit such a stupid and senseless act in the nightclub in Atlanta. The other scenario is that it never happened and it is now being brought up to derail his NFL career. I have reason to believe both is true. However, I cannot understand why this wasn't brought up while he was on suspension. I truly believe this is an attempt to kick him out of the league for good.
