FWST BLOG: Source: Jerry intrigued by Pacman Jones

[Hostile]

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?

Tank was a Free Agent though.

I don't think Tennessee can trade him while he is suspended. No more than a 6th pick if we are going to do it. I think Tennessee would waive him.

Anyone remember the tale of the scorpion that wanted to cross the river?
He went up to a turtle that was about to go across and asked for a ride.
The turtle said" NO way. You will sting me!"
The Scorpion said" If I do that I will die as well!
The turtle thought it over and reluctantly agreed.
Halfway across the river the scorpion stung the turtle.
The turtle gasped"Now you will die as well- WHY?"
The scorpion said" Its my nature"


Pacman and trouble.
The Scorpion and the Turtle.

I'd give up a 5th rounder myself.

(We have better luck with the 6th and 7th rounders anyway!)

Or what?

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

Was gonna say, or what, you'll complain about Jerry?

I think he's in a snit because his man Ty Law isn't getting the same kind of attention......

I would rather have PacMan than Deangelo Hall.

At least PacMan is a dominant player when he plays. The cowboys could straighten him out.

He is a great Punt Returner too, something we sorely need.

Jerry has done a good job throughout the years playing with firing and never getting burned, but don't you guys think our luck is bound to run out sometime when we're always taking in troubled players?

That I do agree with, but I don't want either one of them.

 

[Teague31]

trade the titans the 6th rounder we just got from the dolphins... if it doesn't pan out, we are out nothing.

 

[Big Dakota]

Based purely on his play, where would you guys rank Pac? He has to be one of the top 5-10 CBs in the NFL.

I'll second that. I don't really want either one of them but we might not have a choice.

 

[The30YardSlant]

If he can be had for a short, cheap, incentive-heavy contract, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

I got a laugh out of that one, too.

Love how the author cites Jerry taking on Spellman and Underwood... Yeah, those worked out well. :abuseme:

I don't doubt that Jerry did ask staff what they thought about it. Probably every team has done that. But that ignores that they all said it wasn't worth it.

I think Spellman did ok for awhile. His play just never came back to the level he had before he became ill. Underwood was just too ill to play. I'd bet he is disabled. The program works well here and Jerry was one of the first to institute one I believe.

I would do it to ensure you acquire the player before he hits the market and the price goes up.

I think he's at his lowest value right now and if it's permitted, I would trade for him today while his value is at its' lowest point.

You would also have leverage in contract talks with him as well.

Look at what cornerbacks are making nowadays.

I think reward far outwieghs risk here.

I agree. Best to get him now and that is one way to do it and avoid losing him (assuming you don't want that to happen).

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.

Gale Sayers was better than Hester IMO. But I can't think of anyone better since. Maybe Sanders had as much talent but didn't want to get hit IMO.

And to some others. Look this kid hasn't changed his colors. He is a punk and a thug. However, he's also a proven CB. I think he would do ok here. And we won't change our draft strategy even in the extremely unlikely event Pacman were reinstated before and signed on the dotted line. Maybe they wouldn't use two high picks on CBs but I don't see Dallas assuming Pacman is going to play for them. It's so ridiculous to think about I'm going to stop typing about it.

He would be a good pick up although I'd rather have Shawn Springs as Hos said. In fact I wish we could afford Springs and Pacman and a high draft pick. I don't trust Henry to play an entire year.

I'd take Lito Sheppard when the Eagles waive him. Tell Pacman and DeAngelo to go to hell.

He is up there for sure. The guy has alot alot of talent. Such a shame
1. Newman
2.McAllitor
3. Trufant
4. Harris
5.Samuel
6.Bailey
7.Pac-man

I probably forgot someone. But I think thats the general order.

 

[IronCowboy]

Newman isn't the best corner in the NFL, And Asamougha is Top 5.

 

[This is Our Year]

The biggest problem is when will PacMan be reinstated?? That's going to be the major problem in the hole thing.

 

[coogrfan]

YES!!! He may be a numbskull but he is the best CB in football,hands down.

You can't be serious. He wasn't in the top 10 before he got suspended.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

Abso-flippin-lutely!!!

Pac and Hall take the Cowboys down a notch. Thats not acceptable.

 

[This is Our Year]

Yeah but there is one major problem here............ We can't afford to trade for these guys because of what the cost will include money wise. That's the beauty of Pac Man his is arguably just as good as both those players and will come A LOT cheaper A LOT.
