NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE - The Tennessee Titans finally reached a deal with their top draft pick Adam ``Pacman&#39;&#39; Jones on Wednesday night, ending their longest contract holdout since relocating to the state of Tennessee.<br> <br> The Titans will play the Atlanta Falcons Friday at 7 p.m. in the Georgia Dome in a preseason matchup.<br> <br> Jones had missed the first 20 days of training camp. But with his agent Michael Huyghue meeting with the Titans on Tuesday and Wednesday, they finally reached agreement in principle on a five-year deal with $13.5 million in guaranteed money.<br> <br> ``They&#39;ll type it up tomorrow, get it to us, and we may have to dot one more `I&#39; or cross one more `T,&#39; but he&#39;ll be over at the facility when the team gets back and resume practice as soon as they get back,&#39;&#39; Huyghue told The Associated Press.<br> <br> The Titans selected the cornerback with the sixth pick overall and made him the first defensive player taken in the draft based on his speed and his return skills on kickoffs and punts. They hope he can fill one of two cornerback slots left open by salary-cap decisions.
