Pacman Jones pays $20,000 gambling debt to casino

In return, Jones agreed to tell police what he knew about the gunman. Jones never acknowledged any role in the shooting.

The alleged gunman, Arvin Kenti Edwards, was arrested in April after Jones picked him from a police lineup, and remains jailed in Seattle pending an extradition hearing.

The NFL has no policy against players gambling in casinos, as long as they do not wager on NFL games. However, the league is closely watching Jones, who was indefinitely suspended last season by commissioner Roger Goodell and recently was traded from the Tennessee Titans to the Dallas Cowboys.

"We're aware of it and we are looking into it," league spokesman Greg Aiello said Friday.

Cowboys spokesman Rich Dalrymple said the club had no comment.

Arora said Jones has not been paid since his suspension in March 2007 and has been "moving assets around" to pay bills. The suspension came after the star cornerback's sixth arrest since he was drafted by the Titans in the first round in 2005.

Jones had been scheduled for a base salary of $1.74 million in 2008 and had been under contract through 2009 before his suspension.
