Who'd have thunk, back in 1996, when Irvin was the poster boy for our teams overall bad boy image, that the Cowboys would sit here today as the proven NFL halfway house for players struggling to find their rehabilitative 2nd chance in the league?
We've given 2nd chances to Spellman, Underwood, AB, Ross, Carson, TO and Tank to name a few off the top of my head. Have they all paid dividends? No. But they were all signed to deals that allowed us the necessary back door and we're managed within the organization in a way that allowed them their opportunity without apparent significant detriment to the rest of the team.
Many organizations would be roundly criticized for even considering interest in Pacman Jones. Now whoever ultimately takes him on will receive some criticism. But in Dallas a very strong historical case can be made that Dallas does more than simply flock to talent no matter their character.
We used to be the laughingstock. Now arguably, we might be considered the leader. From worst to first. Kudos to Jerry.
