Report: Cowboys' Jones to mail reinstatement letter to Goodell on Thursday
Adam Jones will mail a letter to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Thursday in which he will ask for full reinstatement to the league, the Dallas Morning News reports.
Jones
According to the newspaper, the Cowboys cornerback will receive a ruling on his status before the start of the season.
"I'm feeling real good," Jones told the newspaper in reference to his letter. "It's just a letter why I feel I should be reinstated. It's my chance to respond and we'll see how it goes."
Jones received partial reinstatement to the NFL on June 2 from Goodell and as part of his reinstatement, was permitted to participate in organized team activities as well as training camp and preseason games.
While that decision gave Jones the chance to earn his way back into the league, Goodell didn't guarantee he would be reinstated.
"This limited reinstatement is a step in the process," Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said. "Adam is aware of the things that need to be done in order to take the next step."
Adam Jones played in the Cowboys first preseason game against San Diego on Aug. 9, recording a tackle. Jerry Jones said he was treading lightly while awaiting Goodell's decision on Adam Jones.
"That's at [Goodell's] discretion, and I don't want to do or say anything that would imply that I'm getting anxious or pushy about it," Jerry Jones said.

Here is the part I found interesting:
"Since being traded to the Cowboys, Jones has tried to surround himself with a better support group. He's befriended former Cowboys Michael Irvin and Deion Sanders. Jones also has become friends with several of his new teammates, including Tank Johnson, whom the Cowboys helped return from a similar suspension last season."
That is a better support group????? Michael Irvin and Tank Johnson????? Wow!
