Titans cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones, who is currently suspended, was prepared to accept a plea deal Wednesday that will keep him out of jail in connection with a triple shooting at a Las Vegas strip club. According to the agreement, Jones plans to plead no contest to one charge of conspiracy to commit disorderly conduct, a gross misdemeanor, in return for a promise to suspend a sentence of one year in county jail.      

As previously reported, Jones was involved in an incident on Feb. 19 inside the Minxx Gentlemen’s Club minutes wherein three people were shot outside. Jones’ Atlanta-based attorney Manny Arora said Tuesday the defense team felt Jones would have won a trial on two felony counts of coercion for inciting a fight inside the club. But a trial wouldn’t have happened for six months or even a year. “And he may have lost another year of eligibility by going forward. In the real world, sometimes you have to make these difficult decisions for what’s best for your career, and we didn’t want this dragging on any further,” Arora said.Pacman who is 24 years of age, will still be suspended from the NFL for a series of off-the-field incidents, including the strip club incident.
