NASHVILLE, July 30 (UPI) -- Tennessee cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones, banned from the NFL this season, is reportedly looking to join a professional wrestling group.

WTVF-TV in Nashville reported Jones is expected to sign a deal with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling this week. The report said Jones's agent would neither confirm nor deny the story.

Jones was suspended for the 2007 season by NFL Commissions Rogers Goddell following a series of run-ins with law enforcement personnel over the last two years. Jones was allegedly linked to a Las Vegas shooting at a strip club in February.

Since entering the NFL prior to the 2005 season, Jones has been questioned by police 10 times and arrested five times.
