Jones has been working out with the man known for nicknames. Call Sanders "Primetime" or "Neon Deion", he knows about being in the limelight and he is trying to get this kid headed in the right direction. He loves the fact the cornerback is wearing his number 21 jersey. Sanders can see in Jones what head coach Wade Phillips can see, what owner Jerry Jones can see and what third string quarterback Richard Bartel can see. Adam Jones can play at a very high level. In two days of off season workouts, he has intercepted two passes that would have been returned for touchdowns. Bartel can't be too happy about Jones jumping his tosses but everyone else is.

Jones has not been cleared by the league to play in games yet but he can practice and play in the pre-season. I love the way new commissioner Roger Goodell is handling this situation. He called him into his offices in New York and although we don't know exactly what was said, you better believe the Commish laid down the law. It appears Jones is on some kind of probation, with Goodell probably saying to him, any missteps son and you are out of the league forever but if you can make it through the next few months doing the right things, you'll get another chance or something like that.

The Cowboys are hoping Adam Jones will keep his life free of embarrassing situations and will get another nickname. He has the skills to be tagged "dominator" or "big play" or even "bowler" as in Pro Bowl. If he does, Jerry Jones hits the jackpot and the player with the same last name he has could be just what the Cowboys need to be in the Super Bowl. Ultimately, putting Jones on the back of a Cowboys jersey next year is a gamble worth taking and you know the owner would love it.
