Lions' G.M. says Pacman "has a skill set that would help us"

Posted by Michael David Smith on March 23, 2010 3:58 PM ET
The Detroit Lions definitely think former Titans and Cowboys cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones can help them on the field. Now they need to be convinced that he won't embarrass them off the field.

Lions General Manager Martin Mayhew said today at the annual league meetings that VP of Player Personnel Sheldon White liked what he saw at Jones' workout last week, and now that the Lions are convinced he's in good enough shape to play, they're taking a closer look at all the other issues that come with signing Jones.

"He had a really good workout, from what I understand," Mayhew said, per the Detroit News. "But we need to do some more research on him."

Is a really good workout enough to overcome the fact that Jones has been arrested several times, and that both the Titans and Cowboys were burned when Jones got into off-field trouble?

"I would say nothing's imminent," Mayhew said. "But we're definitely tracking that and gathering more information. And he's a guy that has a skill set that would help us."

Mayhew said he's been talking to Lions coach Jim Schwartz, who coached Jones for two seasons in Tennessee, as well as Deion Sanders, who has mentored Jones and who was a teammate of Mayhew's at Florida State. So far, Mayhew says, he's encouraged by what he's hearing.

"He hasn't been in trouble for almost two years now," Mayhew said. "That's a pretty big hoop to jump through."

Is Mcmillen back in the saddle?

Tracking? Gathering more information? You live under a rock?

Pacman will go to the lions have 10 INT 5 Punt Return TD's 3 INT returned for a TD 4 FF.

So what you're basically saying is he'll actually stink?



Let the Lions give him a look. I don't know what kind of skill set they're talking about though unless getting into trouble and suspended by the league is considered a skill set that can help a team.

The Lions must not have many others in their locker room that know how to play beer pong.

Unfortunately that's not the worst thing that can happen.

The worst thing is that any positive locker room attitude that they may have been foraging with the youth movement they've instigated the last couple of years could be compromised by a documented complete moron whom young impressionable players may look up to and choose to emulate.

 

[SidelineScouting]

I actually think this would be a great move for the Lions. Schwartz is a hard-nosed coach who already knows Pac-man and won't be surprised by what he brings to the table. The Lions defense has been horrid and he can only upgrade that secondary.

Adding Pac-Man and one of the DTs with the #2 pick would be a great start rebuilding the Lions defense.
