Jones intrigued by Pacman Jones

Suspended Titans cornerback Adam Pacman Jones continues to shout to the heavens that he would like to play for the Cowboys if and when his suspension is lifted by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.



On an local ESPN radio affiliate in Atlanta on Thursday he reiterated that his
dream is to play for the Cowboys.

While there is a long way to go in that process, Jones might have a willing
suitor in Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.

According to a source, Jones has asked a few staffers about how Jones would fit with the Cowboys.

There is nothing more to it because the Cowboys are prevented by league rules from talking to Jones or his reprensatives. Again Jones has a long way to go to be reinstated by Goodell. And then he remains property of the Titans, who must release him before he can sign with another team.

But make no mistake about, the Cowboys owner is at least intrigued by the possibility that he has brought it up to staffers. He has a history of taking on problems players from other teams, including Alonzo Spellman, Dimitrius Underwood and current Cowboys Terrell Owens and Tank Johnson.

What's also true is that the Cowboys in search of cornerback and kick return
help.

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully the "Source" isn't the Cowboys Zone.

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Calm down, DCBoysfan. It's just speculation and rumor. We haven't heard it from Jerry's mouth. Yet.

Its got to be very tempting for Jerry. A very young starting caliber CB who is also a very good PR man on the cheap. Unlike most GM's its not like Jerry's job is on the line for bringing in a guy like this.

I'm also very interested as to why Pac Man keeps screaming to anybody that will listen he wants to play in Dallas. Does he have ties to the area? Did he grow up a cowboys fan? Or maybe he just heard how good the strip clubs are in Dallas?

Go get him Jerry...I love the idea of Pacman playing for the Cowboys.

IMO, If he gets reinstated he will become a Dallas Cowboy

 

[AZ_Cowboys_Fan]

I know some people are very against this but I have a gut feeling it will happen.... I would guess sometime this summer he will be reinstated and then the Titans will either release him or trade him to Dallas for a late round draft pick. If we can sign him to a deal with behavior clauses and it fits under the cap I am all for taking the risk. You can't deny how talented he is on the field. And I bet Jerry will pull the trigger.

UGH!!!!!!

 

[BehindEnemyLinez]

Man, if only we knew that this kid is REALLY a changed man (I honestly doubt it)... Troubled but talented; I can see why JJ is "tempted" (if the so-called reports are true) but he has worked so hard (to the effect that it cost him some talented players) to clean up Dallas' image that I cannot see him truly pursuing PacMan. But, you never know...

I agree. This has Jerry written all over it.

 

[Green28]

A solid addition to the Dallas Cowboys! And a great guy, too!

It could happen but I hope it does not. I don't see the need of picking up other team’s trash.

I had a feeling like this when Terrell Owens was suspended by the Eagles a few years back. I connected-the-dots and reasoned that reward outweighed risk and that Jones would sign him.

I have the same feeling here.

In fact I can hear Jones' own words about being a risk-taker and willing to take chances if it meant improving the Dallas Cowboys.

The requirements for redemption would be clearly spelled out both publicly and privately via behavioral clauses.

Personally, if it's possible, (Adam?) I would send a conditional 5th round pick to Tennessee right now for the rights to the player if/when he's reinstated. If he is, Tennessee keep the 5th rounder. If he's not, Dallas gets theirs in 2009.

I can see him dropping the 'Pacman' moniker in hopes of a fresh start.

And I can hear Jones referring to him as 'Adam' at the press conference already.

I think a lot of the cleaning up of the Cowboys was more Parcells thing Jerry. Bottom line for Jerry is that he wants to win Super Bowls. If he thinks Pac Man will help him do that and he's convinced he can keep him on the field, he'll pull the trigger in a heartbeat.

 

[AbeBeta]

The guy is a moron. But he's also a major talent who would be outstanding in the 3rd corner/Punt returner role.

I think Jerry will keep his options open but much of this will depend on our draft take.

Yes, he sings in the choir and donates his time to help children and is now a boys' scout leader. He's really a great guy. I'm still wondering why he was suspended.

[MarkP88]

This guy is beyond a headcase. Please keep him far, far away from the Cowboys.
