Pacman on his way to Dallas
March 24, 2008 11:57 AM
As we discussed Friday, Hashmarks will have a private audience with Titans cornerback Pacman Jones tomorrow. He and his agent are flying into Dallas today and will be appearing on ESPN 103.3's "Michael Irvin Show" from 11-2 p.m. Tuesday.
Quite honestly, three hours seems like a bit much, but hopefully Pacman will shed some light on his comeback attempt. The Titans have reportedly begun talking to teams about a possible trade for the troubled player. A league source told me this morning that the Titans would be pleased to receive a fifth-round draft pick in exchange for the former first-rounder and would probably settle for a sixth-round choice and a sack of rats.
I just hate to see Pacman leave a support group that includes Country music legend George "Possum" Jones. During a recent radio interview, Jones touched on several interesting topics, including his desire to play for the Cowboys and the stripper pole in his house. It's a neat little design feature that is starting to pop up in homes in Brentwood.
The Cowboys don't have any plans to visit with Pacman during his trip, but maybe they'll send a representative by the radio station to say hello. Since Irvin knows a thing or two about the judicial system, I would expect him to ask a lot of pointed questions about Pacman's prolific off-the-field activities. I'm told there are 44 strip clubs in Dallas, which is probably double what they have in Nashville. And yes, rain is in the forecast for tomorrow.
Later today, my colleague Pat Yasinskas will handicap the race to land Pacman. I'm told the Patriots, Jaguars, Chiefs, Cowboys and Lions have all shown interest. But this is Jerry Jones' race to lose. He's a gambler by nature, and he relies heavily on a player development program led by former Cowboys running back Calvin Hill.
Jones remembers the success he had with troubled 49ers defensive end Charles Haley in the early 1990s. Over the next decade, Jones signed former first-round draft picks Alonzo Spellman and Dimitrius Underwood, who were both diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Terrell Owens didn't have any legal issues, but he had a dubious reputation after his falling out with the Eagles.
Now, Jones will offer Pacman a chance to rehabilitate his image and career at a relatively low cost. For a former wildcatter, the potential reward far outweighs the risk.
If he keeps his nose clean, Pacman could be the most dynamic return man this team has had since Deion Sanders left town. He could also be the best third cornerback in football. Pacman will join Tank Johnson in what is quickly becoming the top reformatory in professional football.
Remember to submit your questions for Pacman. I'll be visiting with him tomorrow afternoon.
