Pacman heading to Dallas
Irving, TX (Sports Network) - The Dallas Cowboys and Tennessee Titans have agreed in principle on a trade for suspended cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones, though terms of the deal are unknown as of yet.
According to the Titans, final details are still to be worked out prior to the draft and Jones must pass a physical before the trade will be finalized.
The teams were rumored to have first discussed a trade more than a month ago. As late as Tuesday, however, the Cowboys were pessimistic on the prospect of a deal getting done.
Jones was suspended for the entire 2007 season by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for numerous run-ins with the law in just two NFL seasons, including some type of alleged involvement in a shooting at a Las Vegas strip club during the NBA's All-Star weekend in February. That incident left an employee of the club paralyzed from the waist down.
Since entering the NFL, Jones has been questioned by police 10 times and has been arrested five times.
Goodell has said he will review a possible reinstatement for Jones before training camp opens in July.
In two NFL seasons, Jones has totaled 22 passes defensed and four interceptions -- including one for a touchdown. The West Virginia product also has four career punt returns for TDs, and has amassed 1,648 yards on kickoff returns.
Good luck Cowboys! Pac Man will have one good season before he caps another innocent bystander, then it’s jail.
I’ve still never qite gotten past the fact that his parents named him Pacman.
Come think of it it is bad idea I hear on ESPN radio there is more strip clubs in Dallas
Jerry Jones is well on his way to becoming the next Al Davis.
That is true.
Or so I've, um, heard.

That’s why I love tha Cowboys. They always honor their traditions.
Larry I hear on local sport radio about that LOLOL!
Its just a one year deal.
and I don’t like it. I would rather pick up DBs in the draft. With Ellis back mirroring Ware, the DBs can go back to be unexposed for the most part.
y’all see this
Will he wear a GPS bracelet on the field?...........
Maybe TO can give him some pointers.
Silver City just became more dangerous than Oak Cliff.
His name is "Adam." Not sure where the stupid "Pacman" came from. Either way ... this is a stupid move by J.Jones. This experiment is going to fail miserably. The only other person supporting this is Deion Sanders ... no current player seems to be on board with it and are getting tired of being asked about it.
Hopefully, Goodell won't reinstate him.
The Cowboys won their SBs with plenty of guys with less than stellar character. Leon Lett, Michael Irvin, Nate Newton, Larry Allan, Sanders, etc.

He may be a good player, but it's not worth the trouble. Example ... Ricky Williams.
I wonder when Michael Vick gets out of prison...
Not sure, but I think Mark Cuban... 
is considering nObama for the Mavericks next year.
BTW going to see Clooney's Leatherheads... 
at 1:35 (We Seniors get in for $2.25, so Clooney will only get about 3 cents from my ticket.) Will review when I return this evening.
Simple, sweetheart... 
it would have been considered racist if they'd named him Donkey Kong
Not sure what these guys do for the Pack: WR Jordy Nelson, QB Brian Brohm, CB Patrick Lee (...he doesn't open his hips as well as some of the other corners... Cuz Pat, what you doing???), UT TE Jermichael Finley and DE Jeremy Thompson?
And as for the 18-1 Pats, not sure of these guys either: OLB Jerod Mayo, CB Terrence Wheatley, OLB Shawn Crable & QB Kevin O'Connell?
Please advise???
No way a cream puff like Phillips can handle this guy. That’s Jerry though - headlines mean all.
They are calling Jerry’s draft picks “safe”, but he did some gambling by signing Tank and Pac. Took a risk on TO as well, but I believe that was a good move.
Nelson be good...Pack always drafts receivers..best available...Brohm could be the best QB in the draft and I suspect that the Pack are not so sure that Rodgers can do the job..heck how many teams go from one long term QB right into another? Finley I don’t know about..but I do know TE was a weakness last season and their offensive system needs effective TE play and they cut Bubba Franks...Lee and Thompson...depth..They did pretty well considering they went to the NFC championship game, hence low in draft order.
As for the Pats...they are getting elderly at LB and Mayo is a versatile LB with strong leadership skills as is Crable (very underrated)..Wheatley...another body at corner... O’Connell...never heard of him..but he is Irish as am I. Pats always seem to end up with a gem from the later rounds...will be interesting to see if they continue that trend.
From what I have read about the trade, Jerry got a pretty good deal money & cap wise, plus if Pacman keeps his nose clean and plays up to his potential a win-win! And if he doesn't get cleared to play or goes back to his strip club ways, Tennessee pays back draft picks.
Look, Jerry Jones is a lot of things, most of which I don't care for, but I've got to give the devil his dues, he will go that extra mile to help the team.
Those who hate Jerry Jones for 'firing' The Immortal Tom will always hate him no matter what. Had he and Jimmy not had their spat, the Boys had a good chance to win 4 or 5 Super Bowls in a row. Even had they done that, there are those who will never forgive Landry's firing.
Those who say 'NO WAY' should recall that if that stumble bum Switzer could go 12-4 in '94 and win a Lombardi Trophy in '95 and go 10-6 winning the East in '96, you just know Jimmy would have done better in coaching and drafting in '94-'96!
Uh huh. (grin)
