Fisher: Cowboys only team interested in Pacman

Titans coach Jeff Fisher, appearing as a guest on Fox Sports Radio, asked if any other teams asked about Pacman Jones. "No, there were no other teams, first off. Dallas was the only team that expressed interest. And we did not have any second thoughts. We huddled when the season was over, as an organization, and made the decision. And then we just hoped that we could put something together. And fortunately the Cowboys were interested." -- Fox Sports Radio

Fortunately? They should consider it a steal, I'll take a 4th and 6th for a guy I was about to cut anyday.

It is a steal if it's true that NOBODY else was interested. On the other hand, if A. Jones keeps his nose clean and helps us like he is capable of doing, Jerry Jones will look like a genius while the rest of the owners will look like idiots for not even sniffing a guy with that kind of talent. Of course, hindsight is 20/20 and like we all say around here, time will tell.

A genius? Idiots? Good grief, it's a roll of the dice.

Never heard of anyone walking away from a craps table being called a genius...just lucky.

I look at this trade the same way I did when we acquired Haley. I can only hope that it turns out just as good.

It's a steal if Pacman wears a uni in Cleveland.

Depends on the uni.

If pacman keeps his head on straight, it was a great deal to get a top-10 talent at CB/KR/PR for a contract with no guarantees and very cheap salaries for the first 3 years of the deal. All this for a 4th and 6th rounder.

If he never gets re-instated, all we did was delay our 4th round pick by one year.

If he later gets suspended, we didn't lose any premium picks and there will be no cap consequences.

They probably would if there wasn't the risk of Dallas getting the fourth back, or a fifth if he isn't on the team all year.

I'm sure the Titans were happy to have our fourth this year, but don't have any faith that they aren't going to have to return the favor next year.

I doubt it and I doubt it.

If Pacman can't stay outta trouble in the smokey mountains of Tennessee then he ain't gonna stay outta trouble in Big D. Jerry Jones needs mental help.

FWIW-if Jerry had broken the bank on Asante "ZONE Corner" Samuel, I would have been livid(and for that matter, Andy Reid has to be the DUMBEST coach for throwing $$$$$ at someone who doesn't fit Jim Johnson's system, while his other 2 starting CBs are angry over being underpaid).

Anyhow-yeah, I thought it was a steal. Who cares if we were the only team interested? We got this guy dirt cheap.

If Pacman does not get reinstated, Fisher will look just as stupid since they would have given a fourth rounder back to Dallas... in addition to already wasting a sixth overall pick for Pacman.

Had the Titans not traded Jones they were on the hook for 3 years of guaranteed salary. Regardless of whether Pacman gets re-instated or not the Titans got Jones off the books. That along is worth swapping 4th rounders with Dallas.

I was referring to media and fan reaction. People often use words like genius and idiot as it relates to luck.
