((HT: Dallas Morning News))Todd Archer and Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News tell us a story that is no surprise- once waiver claims can be made in early February, Adam "Pac-Man" Jones' ((pictured, thanks dallasnews.com)) career as a Cowboy is over.
"Because of the in-season suspension, the Cowboys will receive the Titans' fifth-round pick, and they will also gain $1 million in salary cap space for 2009. Had Jones made it through the season without getting in trouble, the Cowboys would have had to send a sixth-round pick to the Titans this year to complete the trade.
The Cowboys signed Jones to a four-year, $13.3 million deal after the trade, however, it did not include any guaranteed money."
The team announced the move in a statement. The transaction will be made official on February 9th, the first day that NFL clubs are allowed to make waiver requests.
Jones, 25, played in nine games with the Cowboys, including six starts, registering 31 total tackles and no interceptions. He was reinstated from a 17-month suspension by the NFL to begin the season with the Cowboys, who acquired him from the Tennessee Titans during the offseason. Jones was suspended again by the NFL during the season, missing six games for violating the league's personal conduct policy.
