Dallas Cowboys officially release Adam 'Pacman' Jones By RICK HERRIN rickherrin@star-telegram.com
IRVING -- The Dallas Cowboys have officially dumped Adam “Pacman” Jones.
Monday marked the first day NFL teams could place players on waivers for the upcoming season. The Cowboys announced last month of their plans to release Jones after one turbulent season with the former Tennessee Titan. Jones’ departure saves the Cowboys $1 million on the salary cap and his four-year contract did not include guaranteed money.
After the Cowboys decided to release him, Jones did a national TV interview and alluded to the possibility of re-signing with Dallas. But Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones has no plans to bring Pacman Jones back to Dallas.
Jones played in nine games this season and served a six-game league suspension after an altercation with his bodyguard at a Dallas hotel. Jones finished the year with 33 tackles, tied for the team lead with 13 pass deflections and had one forced fumble and recovery and no interceptions. He also averaged just 4.5 yards per punt return.
