It's in his NFL contract that players can't do anything overly physical outside of the playing field or face suspensions or fines, and Pacman Jones signed that contract, so he has to abide by it.
Sure, it sounds like fun if he got into wrestling, but the clause is put into their contracts for the players' protection as much as it protects the assets of the NFL. And people DO get hurt in the wrestling ring, or worse yet, hurt another person. This is especially true for people that are inexperienced like Pacman Jones. If players paid attention to this clause then maybe we wouldn't have had incidents like what happened to Ben Roethlisberger last year.

He can find a job where there is no contact or physicall danger of him hurting himself. In his contract that he signed it states he is not allowed to participate in any*** activities that may be dangerous which may lead to injury.
This means even in his offseason, he can't go out on the lake and go water skiing, why? because one bad move and there goes his back. NFL, NHL, MLB, MLS teams all have this in their contracts to save themselves money. because athletes are paid to play a sport, and they can't go risk injury doing something else when these teams are paying Millions of dollars to play one sport.
Being Suspended was not the teams fault, the league decided it. so Pacman will have to wait.

Still under contract whether he's suspended or not. If he gets hurt wrestling then more than likely they can void that contract then he's making no money at all. It's not like he was going to make a career out of that crap.

Since he still under contract to the Titans, yes they have the right to exclude him from making an *** of himself, and possibly injuring himself, in an all fake wrestling match.

They cannot stop him - but they can require he pay back bonuses should he get hurt because certain activities are prohibited by contract. The idiots riding motorcycles without helmets and getting into accidents - prohibited by many clubs and bonus money can be pulled back.

many people are injured in household accidents every year most occuring in the bath tub so does that mean the titans are gonna get a restraining order against all their players preventing them from taking a bath or shower?i wonder if the titans front office realizes pro wrestling is"fake" and is pretty much just theatre.

technically, yes they can when he signed that fat contract with tennessee. he can work, just not as a wrestler or anything that can get him injured. as a non-titan fan, i don't care, let him do whatever he wants. he's been doing that in the past, what's stopping him now?

It is not right for the simple fact they are denying him a right to make a living and take care of his family.
i.e. His strippers and his entourage....LOL.....just kidding....Its not right.

seriously i dont think they should, wrestling would be good for him, i mean seriously if he just sits at home with nothing to do of course he'll hit up another strip joint, wrestling will keep him occupied therefore no trouble will come his way.
