NFL notebook: 'Pacman' Jones retires

"I stand tall and proud as I announce that this beautiful life-changing ride
that I have been on in the National Football League has come to an end, I'm
officially hanging my cleats up, with no regrets!" Jones wrote in a statement
released Friday by his agent, Peter Schaffer.

Jones, 35, has a history of arrests and was plagued by legal issues throughout
his career. The NFL suspended him for the 2007 season following a shooting at
a Las Vegas strip club that left a man paralyzed. A member of Jones' entourage
was identified as the shooter.

The Tennessee Titans selected Jones with the No. 6 overall pick of the 2005
NFL Draft, and he played in 30 games over his first two seasons. He also
played for the Dallas Cowboys (2008), Cincinnati Bengals (2010-17) and Denver
Broncos (2018).

--Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette is happy to have a
"clean start."

Fournette was a major disappointment in 2018 for a team that greatly
underachieved with a 5-11 mark one season after reaching the AFC Championship
Game. But he has had time to decipher his poor campaign and feels he is back
on track.

"I'm happy, especially the way I'm here working with my team right now,"
Fournette told reporters Friday after Jacksonville's third organized team
activity. He rushed for just 439 yards and five touchdowns in eight games last
season after having 1,040 yards and nine scores in 13 games as a rookie in
2017.

--Kevin Dyson may have come up a yard short in one of the greatest finishes in
Super Bowl history, but he never let up on his pursuit of education -- his own
and that of others.

Nearly 20 years after nearly climbing to the top of the football world, Dyson
is sitting atop the academic world at a middle school in Tennessee. As the
principal.

Interim Williamson County superintendent Jason Golden on Friday announced that
Dyson, 43, is the new permanent principal at Grassland Middle School in
Franklin.
