FWST BLOG: Source: Jerry intrigued by Pacman Jones

[jdnoyes]

And that is not a valid statistical comparison. Your analysis would only be valid during the years Jerry actually started making changes, which was at least 4 years before Parcells even got here, not the full 15.

How many arrests did the Cowboys have since Calvin Hill came, and during those times he rejected players like Randy Moss?

Here is the list from 2000-present.

2000-Solomon Page-disorderly conduct, obstructing police, pleaded no contest to lesser charge fined $200

2000-Tony Hutson-weapons and failure to appear in court charges-weapons chargers later dropped.

2000-Joey Galloway-misdemeanor assault on a police officer-charges dropped.

2003 Dwayne Goodrich-two counts of manslaughter, 12 years in prison

2003-Peppi Zellner-possession of crack with intent to distribute charges later dropped.

2005-Terry Glenn-Public intoxication, resisting arrest, charges dropped

2006-Marcus Coleman-DWI, cut by team hours later

Calvin hill was hired in 1997, but I don't have pre-2000 data, although I'm sure we could come up with a list. I never said Calvin Hill wasn't a factor, I just happen to believe Parcells was more a factor in keeping the team arrest free. All you really have to do is take a look at the 2002 Cowboys roster and compare it to the 2006 roster to see what Parcells impact was on the team.

Just a sampling of the 2002 roster: Antonio Bryant, Quincy Carter, Dwayne Goodrich, Troy Hambrick, Peppi Zellner

Great move if we got him.

 

[CaptainAmerica]

Gotta make this move unless he absolutely shows no remorse and you know he is still a punk.

But Pacman has lost a ton of $$ the past year, so you have to believe he understands he is within a hair of being tossed out of the league for good and end up broke the rest of his life.

He has all the incentive in the world to clean up his act and he is oozing with talent. That sounds like a deal Jerry would be all over.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

the Titans will either release him or trade him to Dallas for a late round draft pick.

No, my brother.
I can't conceive of a scenario in which the Titans settle for a late round draft pick, though I would hope it would happen that way.

Nooooo. The titans know what they've got and will exact a premium.
And Jerra is the perfect victim, um, I mean proactive owner.

A third-to-fourth-round pick but not later than that.

 

[juck]

slip me some of what your on bud

This man single handidly won games for the titans several times.

 

[Doomsday101]

This man single handidly won games for the titans several times.

He also left his team high and dry as he was suspended. A lot of good Pacman did Tenn last year

 

[Hostile]

Yeah, he's screwed up repeatedly. But so have several other players throughout our history. We've continued to take chances on them before. Why not PacMan?

He is going to have to agree to an incentive based deal. Why not offer it to him? We can always cut him if it doesn't work out. Its low risk; high reward stuff.

Mostly because I think other CBs would be a safer investment. My #1 hope is Shawn Springs. Even though he is near the end of his career. If we did acquire Pacman I would hope it is after Tennessee waives him (which I think they will as soon as he is reinstated) or for at most a 6th round pick.

 

[Hostile]

The guy is on par with Hester as a returner.

I don't agree with that at all. I don't believe anyone I have ever seen in NFL History is on par with that kid.

 

[tyke1doe]

Oh, let's just sign anyone who's suspended but looking for another chance and every person who says they want to be a Cowboy.

 

[cowboys#1]

isnt he still under contract with the titans?

 

[BadKarma]

Pacman would be a great asset to the Dallas Cowboys. He has no choice but to behave and commit himself to the sport he came to love. He will address some of the position shortfalls the team has.

Signed - "Pacman's Mother"

 

[Established1971]

w00t!

We took a gamble on Team Obliterater and it worked out.

We gambled on Tank and its worked out thus far.

Do it again!

Sign him to an incentive based contract. If he screws up, cut him. If he works out, we've got ourselves a helluva CB. I still advocate drafting a CB in round 1.

this is the 3rd post Ive seen mentioning TO and Tank, everyone's forgetting Hamlin. He went from "troublemaker" to Cowboy pro bowler. Got to say TO, Tank and Hamlin.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

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

Actually I hope it is.

 

[5Stars]

Pacman would be a great fit in Dallas!

Think about it...Pacman could find the best strip joints in town, Tank could be the bodyguard (he would have to buy new guys), and K. Davis could attend the cars out in the parking lot!

Then, when they went to party? T.O. would stroll in looking good for the ladies. Then Romo would bop in to check it all out (of course, Jessica would be dancing)...

And...Jerra provides the ride!

Perfect fit!

 

[Bob Sacamano]

this might be the best time to get PacMan, he's been severely punished by the league, so he must know that when he's reinstated, it's his last chance, plus the fact that he wants to be here may hold him in check too

just salivating over a guy who potentially can give you 12/13 yards a punt return and at least a TD

 

[Nors]

THere is no reason to bring Pacman in. Heck with all the free agents we passed on - lets bring that clown in.

Better not happen.

 

[This is Our Year]

Man getting PacMan would be awesome!! Even though the guy is an idiot who cares?? I don't.


We need a CB and it doesn't hurt that he is a dynamic punt returner as well!!!!! Plus he will come DIRT cheap which will be a plus in terms of cap room.

Or what?

You'll stay on the Patriots' board for good?

 

[Cowboys2008]

Hope it happens. I'll take a risk on talent like that any day.

 

[Stash]

I'm wondering if anyone knows if his rights could be traded while he's under suspension?

I'm thinking that Tank was signed last year while he was suspended.

Am I wrong?
