When the Dallas Cowboys arrived here, Adam Jones went to work. The cornerback grabbed a laptop computer and typed a 1 page letter to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell asking for a full reinstatement to the league. Jones said the letter will be mailed Thursday. "I'm feeling real good," Jones said following Wednesday's practice with the Broncos. "It's just a letter on why I feel I should be reinstated. It's my chance to respond, and we'll see how it goes." The NFL also wanted an update from Jones by Friday on what he's doing to keep himself out of trouble. Jones has participated fully in the Cowboys' player-development program and has forged close relationships with several members on the staff. He's been assigned a four-person security team that doesn't allow him to drive often, with the goal of tracking his whereabouts. Jones has also pledged to donate 121 school uniforms to fifth-graders in the Dallas Independent School District before the regular season starts.

Adam needs a staff of four babysitters/bodyguards/drivers to protect him from Pacman!

Im sure he didnt type his own letter.

August 14, 2008  07:57 AM ET

Yaaaaayyyyyyyyy !!!!
Go Dallas !!!!!

Goodell don't believe his BS...He's a guilty criminal who is
going to walk away from being charged in the shooting so
make him sit this year. Make him do 1000's of hours of community
service for paralyzed folks so maybe his actions will set it!

August 14, 2008  08:04 AM ET

Sit him for another year. Heard he isnt all that anyway. His good behaviour is a farce, a ruse, a mirage, an act, a gimmick, a trick, a big lie, a scam, and temporary sanity.
Ahh - I could be wrong.

wonder if the letter will make it past the dog sniff test..

They all do this Jackman. Put on the pretty face in public but still a punk behind the scenes.

August 14, 2008  08:33 AM ET

good luck with that Adam ... but I want to see better play before I get my hopes up ...

August 14, 2008  08:36 AM ET

He's coming along jc. Been out of the business a while. Still rusty. Time will tell. Unless he ends up doing time, that is. Hahahaha. How clever I am.

August 14, 2008  08:37 AM ET

As a CB he is no prize. He is a #3 CB on a good day. The Titans stats showed that they gave up more long pass plays when he was in there than when he was out. His value is as a return man. It will be what it will be, but he will be playing this year.

August 14, 2008  08:38 AM ET

He's very valuable, especially if they starting punting 5 balls at a time. We will "RULE" the return game.

August 14, 2008  09:01 AM ET

You should mail that letter express.

August 14, 2008  09:04 AM ET

His value is as the lunch **** in a prison chow line.

Filthy criminal is what he is.

His money should be stripped from him, given to the paralyzed man he left in his wake as well as the 22 children he fathered during his time as a pro player for the Titans.

Gooddell needs to make a glaring example out of the man who is the worst example of how to be an adult and responsible.

"When the Dallas Cowboys arrived here, Adam Jones went to work. The cornerback grabbed a laptop computer and typed a 1 page letter to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell asking for a full reinstatement to the league."

Wow, that moron can actually type and form a sentence. He should be in prison with the rest of his kind!

Did he seal it with a kiss?

August 14, 2008  09:44 AM ET

He will make for a good 3rd or 4th CB in Nickel and Dime situations, as well as a good return specialist.

I hope not..lol..Ouch at some of the comments above..It sucks to be Adam...

August 14, 2008  09:51 AM ET

The dood is trying to turn his life around, while many thugs won't even consider trying to make an attempt at doing so. Give the guy a break. If he screws up again, then you can always go on to the "I told you so" attack, but at least give the guy some credit for what he is at least trying to do. Haters!

August 14, 2008  09:54 AM ET

Dear Roger Goodell,

Do you like me? Yes/No (please circle one)

Sincerely,

Pacman Jones

 
August 14, 2008  09:56 AM ET

He's been given chances, Bobo. And each time he's gone back to being a punk. I hope he is sincere in turning his life around, but I can understand those that don't think he deserves another chance.
