Today, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Cowboys CB Adam ‘Pacman’ Jones indefinitely for violating the NFL’s conduct policy. Jones has been on thin ice since being reinstated from a year-long suspension before this season. This recent suspension is due to the late night fight Jones got in with his personal bodyguard in which police were called, but no charges were filed. Jones’ case will be reevaluated after Dallas’ November 16 game, making this at least a four game suspension, with the ultimate length decided after 11/16.
After hearing this news, as well as being dealt multiple injuries over the last week, Dallas has been looking at making trades before today’s deadline. Lions’ Wide Receiver Roy Williams is apparently on the Dallas radar, although the Lions are slow to make a move as they currently have no general manager. Detroit…I’m currently without a job, and I’d be happy to relocate…
