Pacman has Titans in corner
For Mike Reinfeldt, the honeymoon lasted all of one week.
For seven blissful days after his hiring as general manager of the Titans, Reinfeldt immersed himself in the team's free-agency needs and draft priorities.
It was his dream job. All he had to do was fill in a few blanks with crafty free-agent moves and savvy draft picks.
Now Reinfeldt must have a Plan A.
And a Plan B.
Plan A stipulates that the Titans have a lock-down cornerback on the left side of their defense who is also an asset in the return game.
Plan B stipulates that the Titans have a gaping hole at that cornerback position and are in need of a return man.
I guess you know where this is headed. Depending upon what Las Vegas investigators ultimately uncover, Pacman Jones' status as a Titan from this point forward has yet to be determined.
Leaving Las Vegas
This puts Reinfeldt and the rest of the Titans brass in a bind as the NFL offseason hits a key stretch.
The free-agent market opens for business next week. The Titans already were in pursuit of a top-level cornerback like Nate Clements.
That was Plan A.
Now they have to consider Plan B. That would mean signing Clements and drafting a cornerback like Leon Hall or Aaron Ross.
There is a trickle-down effect here. With Jones on the roster, the Titans have plenty of other needs that must be addressed — wide receiver, defensive end and safety among them.
Without Jones, one additional very big piece of the puzzle must be filled before the Titans can secure help at other positions.
Patience may be a virtue, but the Titans need to move quickly on this. Time is not on their side. They are on the clock.
Cash and carry
According to a warrant, more than $81,000 in cash that police believe belonged to Jones was recovered. The cash was in a trash bag.
Which begs a question:
Hefty or Glad?
Really, now, the next time I carry $81,000 into a strip club, should I use the Hefty Cinch Sak or the Glad ForceFlex?
There is irony at work here. When players clean out their lockers at the end of the season, the container of choice is neither Louis Vuitton nor Tumi, but a trash bag. Apparently, nothing cleans out an NFL locker like a trash bag.
If the Titans organization finally — finally — decides to cut its losses and move on, Jones would face a much simpler choice than mere right and wrong.
Hefty or Glad?
Paper or plastic?
