    Nashville, TN (Sports Network) - Suspended Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones has agreed to sign with the Total Nonstop Action pro wrestling group.

    According to WTVF in Nashville, the deal will be announced Tuesday.

    Jones was suspended for the entire 2007 season on April 10 by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for numerous run-ins with the law in just two NFL seasons, including some type of alleged involvement in a shooting at a Las Vegas strip club during the NBA's All-Star weekend in February. That incident left an employee of the club, ironically a former pro wrestler, paralyzed from the waist down.

    Since entering the NFL, Jones has been questioned by police 10 times and has been arrested five times.

    The TNA wrestling promotion is based in Nashville and is owned by Panda Energy but is a distant second in a realm ruled by World Wrestling Entertainment. The company is run by Dixie Carter and longtime pro wrestler Jeff Jarrett.





    The signing of Jones is an effort to garner publicity for a fringe company in an industry already stained by implications of steroid and other drug use after the highly-publicized Chris Benoit murder-suicide case.

    Frank Wycheck, old Titan's tightend, has done some gigs with this group too. He says it is a blast.

    they can tag team as the fightin' Titans and have Pac Man's posse come down to the ring for beatdowns on their opponents.

    I would like to see him in a cage match with Abdullah the Butcher, the old school kind with Abdullah using the pencil on him...

    bad move by the Titans. they should have let him go with the wrestling gig. sooner or later he'd get injured and they'd have had the perfect opportunity to rid themselves of Pac Man grievance free and the union couldn't do a damn thing.

    They should let him wrestle then pay Kurt Angle to break his ankle or something.
