Jay Glazer said there was going to be some kind of surprise blockbuster trade on Tues.
With all the talk about Philly going after a premier wideout, I'm now beginning to wonder if Pacman to Dallas is what he's talking about.
I think if the door is open and the parties can agree to a deal and the player wants to come here, redo the contract to protect the team and reward the player for success under any new contract and is willing to prove himself..it's a done deal.
I think Dallas would go as high as a 4th rd. draft pick this year or maybe even trade a roster player we think is expendable like Carp or Ayodele.
Or better yet, give the Titan's a conditional draft pick in the 2009 draft based on Pacman meeting certain behavioral and on the field incentive goals. By that, I mean the Titans will get anywhere from a 4th rd to a 2nd rd. pick from us based on Pacman's overall performance in 2008.
And if Pacman steps on the field for us, chances are, he starts at CB and replaces Henry and Henry moves to the slot. That's my belief.
That's the ultimate motive for making any deal for him..not just to bring him here as a #3 CB.
But let's assume though, he does start out as a # 3 CB for us. That awards a 4th rd. pick in 2009. But let's say he does that and he ends up being our primary punt return man and in doing so, he leads the conference in punt returns or finishes in the top 3 players in that catagory.
Then the Titans get a 3rd rd. draft pick in 2009.
Then let's say he ends up taking over at the rt. CB spot from Henry as I suggest before the season ends either by earning it or by another injury to Henry forcing it.
Then the Titans get a 2nd rd. pick for him, because what has happened is, he's become a player with a value equal to what his true value is less his baggage, a #1 pick value being that he's starting and probably returning punts for us, too.
But we won't have to pay that for him..at the most, we pay only a #2 to have acquired him because we bore the risk in taking him.
And Pacman would love this because he could have put in his contract all these incentives for 2008 as reached, too, and be paid more based on reaching them..
..and in 2009, he would be paid what a player of that stature is worth from that point on or he could opt out of his contract or we could have the option of meeting any contract he came up with if the parties wanted to just start over with each other on level ground and let the market establish hs value.
Lot's of protection for everybody and incentives galore that are reasonable.
What this does is spread the risk with the Titans that if he doesn't pan out, we don't lose too much. And if he pans out at certain levels of increasing worth, the Titans are rewarded for his success with us and they recoup some needed value from their investment in Pacman to this point.
Make sense..?
Does to me.
