Adam "Pacman" Jones remains Suspended for Season

Troubled Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones recently met with commissioner Roger Goodell and was told that he will remain suspended for the remainder of his season-long suspension. Jones was suspended by Goodell for the 2007 season following multiple run-ins with police and his posse being involved in a fight in Las Vegas where gunshots from Jones' group left a security guard paralyzed.

Jones was given the option to meet with Goodell after 10 games to analyze his suspension. If he was found to have served his suspension well without any trouble, Goodell could have lifted his suspension.

The thing we saw when Tank Johnson and Chris Henry had to finish their suspensions after meeting with Goodell was certainly bad news for Jones. We know Goodell is hard and doesn't look like he has any plans to go soft on anybody. Is this what the NFL needs to straighten its players?

What does this mean for Pacman? What does this mean for the Titans?

Well the Titans knew about Pacman's suspension before the season and they picked up players to fill his spot. The only effect this will have on the Titans is the return game. The defense has been better this year with Nick Harper, Cortland Finnegan, Reynaldo Hill, and Kelly Herndon playing superbly this season.

To Pacman this doesn't really mean anything. It hurts his career, but he will most likely come in fit and ready to play next year. He has already served the first 10 games and I don't think it will affect him too much to miss the last 6.
