Suspended Titans' CB Adam "Pacman" Jones will surrender to authorities in Nevada and fight felony charges regarding a strip club incident that preceded a triple shooting. Lawyers for Jones are working out the details of the surrender which is anticipated for either Friday or Monday. The Pacman story continues.



Tampa Bay Buccaneers' GM Bruce Allen said that QB Jake Plummer is subject to fines for missing the mandatory minicamp sessions that just ended. Allen added he hopes Plummer shows up at training camp. It is unknown if more fines will incur at that time or not. Regardless of Plummer's status, Jeff Garcia looks to be the QB1 in Tampa.



Chiefs' RB Larry Johnson told Jason Whitlock of the Kansas City Star that he is prepared to hold out of training camp in order to resolve his contract impasse with the Chiefs. Johnson is on the books to make $1.7 million this season, a paltry sum for a fifth-year player with his resume. Speculation has centered on Johnson seeking a contract that falls between the deals given LaDainian Tomlinson ($21 million in guarantees) and Peyton Manning ($35 million in guarantees). Owners should beware because a hold out would put many fantasy teams in a big hole. Let's monitor his situation.
