On the day his mother, Deborah, and daughter, Zaniyah, arrived in Dallas, Adam Jones had his best day in a long time. Seventeen months after he was suspended for violating the league's personal conduct policy and 20 months after his last game, Jones was reinstated by the NFL, officially making him a Cowboy. It ended months of wondering and started what he and the Cowboys hope is a fruitful relationship, beginning with the Sept. 7 season opener at Cleveland. Former Cowboys Michael Irvin and Deion Sanders have served as mentors to Jones. He also has a four-person security team on-call 24 hours a day. His teammates were happy the league made the decision.

He will probally go out and celebrate with some "special" things". Sorry but this guy is clueless.. talented .. but clueless.

Disregard that i'm a cowboys fan.......

Lets see if he makes anything of this chance. While I do think it is fair to judge someone based on their past, Jones now has a chance to write his own history once again. We shall see.

A 4 person security team???? This guy must be a real j*ck*ss.

I agree and he could be a huge step up for the Boys. We all see this is a huge chance for him.. hopefully he has learned a lesson and matured.. time will tell..

I too am a fan but I get tired of players with millions hurting teams because they are selfish. I hope he makes the most of this but if he gets caught again there should be a life ban on him. He could be a huge step up if healthy and clean.

I hope that he keeps it together..Wow,24 hour security?

It's a high reward low risk move. If he messes up, he's gone for life and the Cowboys only lose a 4th RD pick. If he can help as the 3rd CB and return some kicks/punts it will be a great addition.

At first I was going to make a comment about GWB and his security team but then I remembered he was being protected from others not from himself. Or is he?
Wonder how much the Jones security team is getting paid? Will they get a bonus if the Cowboys are in the playoffs? So many questions.

Bad move by commissioner. He's a thug and always will
be a thug. Hope he gets burned on a regular basis by
recievers. How you can shoot a man or get one of your
friends to shoot a man and get away with it sucks for all
especially the victim in this case.

When a guy has a "security" TEAM on-call for 24/7, that says all you need to know about how large a TOOL he is.

I love internet detectives. They're able to solve and prove cases that not even the police can do.

Agree. Cowboy haters have been going through severe withdrawal symptoms.

August 29, 2008  08:40 AM ET

EYES KNOW IT ALL, obviously you don't know sh@&... if you did, then you would know that Pac-man had nothing to do with the shooting. If you ever took your head out of your **** and actually read something instead of just assuming, then you'd know that everything that happened in the strip club was a result of him throwing money in the air... The fracas insued because of that. People got out of control because of the falling money. Not because he had anybody shot... Dumb ****.

Ignorant people like you do more harm to our society than the criminals...

OBAMA 08'!!!! YES WE CAN!!!!!!

Hell yeah, CowboyDave...give em something to whine about haha.

Makes you wonder what his mother was doing while he was growing up, doesn't it.

I see you still don't KNOW much......

Hopefully he'll make the most of this chance.
