PACMAN JONES RELEASED FROM COWBOYS: Cornerback out of work again following suspension-filled season.
*It's game over for Pacman Jones. The troubled Dallas Cowboys cornerback, who was suspended six games for an off-field scuffle and made little impact on the field, was released from the team on Wednesday.
His release will become official Feb. 9, the first day NFL teams can make waiver requests, reports the Associated Press.
The Cowboys traded for Jones despite the cornerback's suspension for the 2007 season after multiple off-field incidents while with the Tennessee Titans. He was given another chance and cleared to play in 2008 by Commissioner Roger Goodell.
But on Oct. 7, Jones got into a scuffle with a bodyguard who was part of a team-employed security detail. A week later, Goodell suspended the cornerback indefinitely, which eventually turned into a six-week suspension.
Jones missed a seventh game later in the season with an injury.
Jones' attorney said he expects the cornerback will be back with some team in 2009.
"He is young. He has a lot of ability and he is eager to get back on the field," Robinson said.
