Adam "Pacman" Jones, who had been expected to apply for reinstatement to the NFL on Tuesday, said he now plans to wait until he's traded before seeking commissioner Roger Goodell's OK to play pro football again.

Appearing on the Michael Irvin Show on ESPN Radio in Dallas, suspended Titans cornerback Pacman Jones said he wants to wait until he's traded before he applies for reinstatement. Listen
Jones' agent had said the Tennessee Titans cornerback, suspended since last April for violating the league's conduct policy in several scrapes with the law, would file his paperwork on Tuesday.
But Jones told Hall of Fame wide receiver Michael Irvin on ESPN 103.3 Dallas that he would await a trade first before seeking reinstatement. Jones has made no secret of his desire to play for the Dallas Cowboys, but Dallas and the Titans have been unable to agree on the terms of a trade.
"I'm hoping it will be done this week, but that's just agent talk," Jones said during the appearance, his second on Irvin's show. "We'll see how it goes and I'll be tuning in and I'm going back to my house and get in front of the TV and hope it will get done today."
The Dallas Morning News reported the Cowboys had increased their offer for Jones, though the report did not specify how the team had sweetened the deal. The Titans reportedly were seeking a draft choice higher than the Cowboys were willing to deal for Jones, who, according to ESPN's Ed Werder, had offered to part with a performance bonus if Tennessee would not seek repayment of his signing bonus.
In the meantime, Jones is trying to keep in shape.
"I just can't wait and hopefully it can get done," Jones said. "I'm anxiously waiting. I've been working out three days a week and I've slowed it down a little bit to give my body a rest, so I can make sure I'm not too wore out when camp and the season starts."
He wants back in the NFL and is working out three days a week and wants to lessen that amount? Poor attitude and work ethic, no thanks Jerruh.
