I just saw this on the Dallas Morning News blog from Pro Football Talk…
Despite on-the-record comments from director of player personnel John Murphy indicating that the Winnipeg Blue Bombers will be signing the unwanted cornerback, the organization has released a statement indicating that Pacman Jones won't be playing for the Blue Bombers.
"It is unfortunate that this situation became public however our position has remained consistent," head coach Mike Kelly said in the team-issued release. "We will pursue athletes that we believe will contribute to our organization on and off the field."

Pacman has returned to football! Kind of…Former Titan and Cowboy Pacman Jones has inked a one year deal with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the CFL.
"It'll be a good experience for me to get back in game shape and compete and play football, which I like to do," Jones told SI.com, which first reported the story. "I'm real happy for the opportunity that's been given to me. Of course it's disappointing to me to not be playing in the NFL. But things happen and you have to adjust."
