If the terms stated "As long as no further legal or criminal action come out
from the Vegas issue..." then yea, probably.
But, I don't know if it violates any terms since it happened before the
suspension. If anything, it may force Goodell to reevaluate the suspension.
He may have reserved the right to do that if any criminal charges were
pressed in the vegas incident.

Pacman faces felony charges in shooting that paralyzed man
Associated Press
LAS VEGAS -- Suspended NFL player Adam "Pacman" Jones will face two
felony charges in a strip club melee that preceded a triple shooting
in February, Las Vegas police and the Clark County District Attorney's
office said Wednesday.
Two other people previously identified by police as friends of the
troubled Tennessee Titans cornerback also will face felony charges in
the fracas inside the Minxx club, police said in a statement.
Since Jones was drafted by the Titans in April 2005, police have
interviewed him in 10 separate incidents. He has been arrested five
times; he hasn't been convicted of any crimes.
Jones was being sought by police this week for questioning about a
shooting early Monday involving members of his entourage after a fight
at an Atlanta strip club.
No one is named in the Las Vegas shooting that occurred later outside
the club and left a bar employee paralyzed and two others with minor
injuries, police Capt. James Dillon said.
Warrants were issued for the arrests of Jones, Robert Reid of Carson,
Calif., and Sadia Morrison of New York, Dillon said.
The 23-year-old Jones, of Franklin, Tenn., faces two counts of felony
coercion stemming from allegations he threatened to kill club
employees and bit a bar bouncer on the ankle, according to a criminal
complaint filed in Clark County District Court.
The 37-year-old Reid faces one felony coercion charge alleging he
attacked a bouncer who tried to restrain Jones.
The 24-year-old Morrison faces charges including felony assault with a
deadly weapon and battery stemming from allegations that she hit the
bouncer in the head with a bottle and attacked several other club
employees with a chair.
Coercion is the act of threatening or physically interfering with a
person trying to do something that he or she has a right and
responsibility to do.
The charges are slightly different from those police sought in March
against Jones, Reid and Morrison. Clark County District Attorney David
Roger declined to file those charges, asking police for more
information and to identify a shooter.
"The investigation continued and additional evidence was gathered,
that's why it's different," Dillon said. "These are complicated acts
and charges. We've worked closely with the district attorney."
A Las Vegas lawyer representing the three was expected to contact
police to arrange their surrender, an aide to Roger said.
The lawyer, Robert Langford, did not immediately respond to messages
seeking comment.
Police said the Feb. 19 fracas broke out inside the club, Minxx,
several blocks off the Las Vegas Strip when dancers on stage were
showered with thousands of dollar bills near the end of NBA All-Star
weekend.
