Source: Dallas Cowboys discuss deal for Pacman Jones

[ArcticRed]

I say use a 5th and given him a chance. Make it clear if he screws up in the slightest, we will let him join Lawrence Phillips on the unemployment line.

And dont get me started on the OL in the Seattle game!

[Stuck in TX]

we should trade picks for players, not prepositions (IF).

I see where Pacman wants to play for New England. The guy is all about the limelight.
He just has too many issues, even for a low round pick. The kid needs the Comish to
reinstate him, so IF he was smart he would keep his mouth shut. He just needs to take whatever opportunity is afforded.

This is why i HATE the Cowboys... always looking for skills/talent AND THEN character.
+ Jerry Jones thinks he can control these thugs, when all he is doing is giving gangsters a pat on the back and a fat paycheck.I'm just glad to see he's helping the NFL's image while simultanously giving fans A-W-E-S-O-M-E role models.LOL

Looks like Pac Man may be reinstated in the next couple of weeks according to Clayton

I can forgive a lot of things. But Pac Man was with the guy who shot a man that will never walk again. Pac Man knows who this guy is and won't give him up to the police. I watched that piece on Real Sports and I just can't get it out of my head. Yet Vick gets two years in jail for sponsoring a dog fighting ring? Where is the freakin justice?? Roger G. shouldn't let this hood rat back in the NFL. Let him play in Canada.

I hear ya'

Wasn't Ray Lewis in a very similar situation several years ago? Except it was actually a murder?

Lewis got off and seemed to just be in the wrong place at the wrong time, some people will never let it go.

Plus, Lewis (unlike Jones) did not continue to go to the wrong places on a regular basis after getting in trouble.

Pacman went to a strip club before visiting the Commish for a meeting about giving him another chance...after being told not to go near those places by the Commish.


If you are THAT stupid and have that little respect for employers, authority and the law, you don't deserve another chance.

But, in Dallas, it never matters.

I just think that, from a football standpoint purely, a 5th rounder for Pac Man Jones is a horrible trade for Dallas. So here's hoping.

By the way, I heard this morning that it may actually be a 4th round pick. Likely a 4th rounder in 2009 I believe.

What would kill them about this trade is the oppertunity cost associated with the deal. If you have Pac Man, you are going to play him. If you play Pac Man, at least in 2008, he's going to get roasted over an open fire.

Yeah, the guy is only going to be 25, and maybe he has matured, but you are getting a guy who hasn't played football in over a year and a half and is re-developing some raw skills.

I can't wait to play Dallas, if they make this deal.

[Ruhskins]

I think our team should not even bother (which looks like they won't) with this guy. If the cowgirls get him and he works out good for them, and if not, well they knew wha tthey were getting into. I think after the whole Lloyd fiasco, we need to stop gambling on head cases that are unproven. And while Pacman might have been a good player with the Titans, he has been out of football for a year and to me that's unproven.

[MTK]

Let Dallas take him, it's not like he's a shutdown #1 type of corner anyway.

I heard clips of Jones from Michael Irvin's radio show yesterday. Not only does he sound like he has an IQ of about 12, but he said he has no regrets. NO REGRETS? Are you serious? You were involved in multiple police cases including a shooting that left a man paralyzed, and you lost millions of dollars by getting suspended for a year, and you have no regrets?? I wish this guy would just go away. I hope Dallas strip clubs beef up their security. What a joke. He makes my skin crawl. As does Michael Irvin by the way.
