Try as he might to keep Adam "Pacman" Jones on the roster, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on Wednesday cut the talented cornerback who might wind up as a case study for wasted potential. Earlier in the day, ESPN informed the Cowboys and the NFL that it plans to air a piece for its Outside the Lines program that includes never-before-seen footage of Pacman Jones' apparent involvement in a June 2007 nightclub shooting when he was still with the Tennessee Titans. The incident occurred in a suburban Atlanta strip club. A source confirmed that when the Cowboys learned of the report by ESPN, the team made the decision to cut Jones, who is now under league investigation and whose NFL career could be finished as a result. The ESPN program reportedly includes security-camera footage and allegations that Pacman Jones ordered a gang member to carry out a shooting.

The Atlanta incident was news to the NFL, which in October made it clear to Pacman Jones that one more piece of negative news would result in a lifetime ban from the league.
