ATLANTA (AP) — Suspended Titans cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones said he's done enough to be reinstated back to the NFL early.
Jones, suspended for the 2007 season in April for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy, said that he'll meet with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell later this month about reinstatement after 10 games. His case won't be reviewed until after the Titans' 10th game on Nov. 19. "I think I did enough. I did pretty much everything Mr. Goodell asked me to do. So, all I can do is just wait and go back to speak with him," Jones said in an interview in Sunday's editions of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Jones said he's been using the time to restore his image. He also has two felony coercion charges pending against him in Las Vegas for a strip club fight and triple shooting on Feb. 19. "I'm just staying to myself, taking this time out to worry about things I need to do better as a person — whatever I got to do in the community, whatever I have to do to better my image as a person so I can get back on the field," he said Friday. Dixie Carter, president of Total Non-stop Action wrestling, said Jones has been a "model team player." Jones signed with TNA in July and won TNA's tag team title with Ron "The Truth" Killings last month despite being barred by a restraining order from doing anything physical that would hurt his future NFL playing career. "What we talked about is let's create some better headlines," Carter said. "Let's get out there and do some things during this time off that are positive and start to build back people's trust and respect." Jones said although this year's experiences have made him "a lot wiser." "I know what decisions to make, what decisions not to make. As far as change, I wouldn't change myself for nothing in the world. I just need to change some of the decisions I make," he said.
