It was earlier reported that suspended Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones would file for reinstatement to the league on Tuesday, but Jones told Michael Irvin on his radio show that he will wait until later to file the papers.

The commissioner did not comment on the matter, as reported by The Associated Press:

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Jones for the 2007 season for his off-field conduct, which includes six arrests since being drafted. Goodell rejected appeals to let Jones take part in training camp or return after 10 games.

Jones settled the last of his criminal charges Feb. 14 by entering an Alford plea to obstruction of a police officer in Georgia, which left him with a felony conviction. An Alford plea is essentially a guilty plea but also is a denial of committing a crime.

In January, Jones went to an Atlanta strip club, which prompted Goodell to send him a letter in February barring him from working out at the Titans’ headquarters. The commissioner also said Jones would be reconsidered for reinstatement before training camps open.

The Titans are still allowed to trade the former West Virginia standout’s contract to other teams, but so far the only taker has been the Dallas Cowboys and they are only willing to give up a seventh round draft pick and a possible practice squad player while the Titans are looking for a fourth round selection.
