Jones is expected to take a plea deal that will get him probation in return for testimony about a Las Vegas strip club triple shooting, his lawyer said.

Las Vegas ? Suspended Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones is prepared to take a plea deal that will get him probation in a Las Vegas strip club triple shooting in an attempt to salvage his career.

Under the written plea agreement obtained by the Associated Press, Jones intends to plead no contest to one charge of conspiracy to commit disorderly conduct, a gross misdemeanor, in return for a promise to suspend a sentence of one year in county jail.

Las Vegas police identified Jones as the person who incited a Feb. 19 fight inside the Minxx Gentlemen’s Club minutes before three people were shot outside.

Jones’ Atlanta-based attorney Manny Arora said Tuesday the defense team believed Jones would have won a trial on two felony counts of coercion for inciting a fight inside the club. But a trial wouldn’t have happened for six months or even a year.

“And he may have lost another year of eligibility by going forward. In the real world, sometimes you have to make these difficult decisions for what’s best for your career, and we didn’t want this dragging on any further,” Arora said.

Even so, the deal won’t help 24-year-old Jones get back into the NFL this season.

Commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Jones for the season in April for violating the league’s personal conduct policy. Off to a 6-3 start, the Titans haven’t missed Jones and said last week the team would address Jones’ future when he’s reinstated.

Goodell and Jones met Nov. 2 to discuss the suspension, but Goodell chose not to shorten Jones’ punishment.

The Las Vegas shooting case was a factor in that decision, and the NFL Players Association is asking Goodell to reconsider. Arora said he hopes the NFL recognizes this plea says Jones “didn’t even commit any disorderly conduct in the club.”

“Our biggest emphasis was to clear him of any involvement in the shooting whatsoever,” Arora said.

The NFL declined to comment Tuesday.

Clark County prosecutor Victoria Villegas confirmed they had an agreement but declined to talk about negotiations until the deal is filed with the court.

Under the deal, Jones will plead to a gross misdemeanor in exchange for a suspended one-year jail sentence. He also must attend an anger management program, complete 200 hours of community service within a year and submit to random drug testing. Jones already is subject to the NFL’s drug testing program.

Jones’ attorney, Robert Langford, was scheduled to appear in court Tuesday to inform Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Tony Abbatangelo of the plea, but the hearing was rescheduled for Thursday. Villegas said the delayed hearing was the result of a scheduling mishap.

Jones, who’s not expected to attend Thursday’s hearing, will be expected to testify at a later date about what he knows.
