NFL | Pacman Jones: "I might be back in Dallas"

Adam "Pacman" Jones suggested Saturday his days with the Dallas Cowboys may not be over.

In an interview on CBS's NFL pregame show, the oft-troubled cornerback said that not only does he expect to play football next season, "I think I might be back in Dallas."

Host James Brown then asked: "And you have an inkling that Jerry Jones will give you another shot?"

Jones grinned and said, "Yeah, I do," but didn't offer any details to back his assertion.

Cowboys spokesman Rich Dalrymple said the team had no comment.

Marinelli joins Bears

Rod Marinelli joined Chicago as a defensive-line coach, returning to his roots after becoming the NFL's first head coach to post an 0-16 season.

Marinelli went 10-38 in three years with the Detroit Lions and was fired after failing to win a game this season. But before that, he was Tampa Bay's defensive-line coach for a decade.

Seattle interviewed Marinelli for defensive-line coach.

Notes

• The New York Jets will interview Baltimore defensive coordinator Rex Ryan today about their coaching vacancy, a person familiar with the search told The Associated Press.

Jets officials, including owner Woody Johnson and general manager Mike Tannenbaum, will speak with Ryan in Baltimore, according to the person, who requested anonymity because the individual wasn't authorized to discuss the search to replace the fired Eric Mangini.

• League sources told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch on Saturday night that Minnesota defensive coordinator-assistant head coach Leslie Frazier will interview with the Rams on Tuesday in Los Angeles. Frazier, 49, already has been interviewed by Detroit and Denver, and both clubs are thought to be very interested in him for their head-coaching vacancies.

• Rob Chudzinski, the Cleveland Browns' offensive coordinator for the past two seasons, is interviewing for San Francisco's vacant offensive-coordinator job. Former St. Louis coach Scott Linehan and Indianapolis receivers coach Clyde Christensen interviewed with the 49ers on Friday.

• The NFL has fined Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney $20,000 for comments he made after last Saturday's 23-17 loss at San Diego.
