The latest news in the continuing will-they-or-won't-they saga of the Tennessee Titans and Dallas Cowboys exploring a Pacman Jones trade comes from Terry McCormick of the Nashville City Paper, via PFT.The news? The Cowboys have increased their offer, but the Titans still want more. According to McCormick, the Titans want a fourth-round draft pick, "plus more." It's not exactly clear what the "more" would be, but the Cowboys are apparently at least open to it, seeing as the report also says that the trade is still likely to happen.
But at some point shouldn't the Cowboys say no? After all, right now, the Cowboys can't even be assured that Jones is going to play this year. Jones is expected to formally apply for reinstatement Tuesday, and maybe that means we'll know more about his status before the draft. But if the Cowboys don't know for sure that Jones will get back on the field, they'd be nuts to hand over their fourth-round pick in this year's draft -- and more.

1. A 4th and a 6th is the most I can see giving a guy who hasn't played in a year and may not play in 2008.

2. Dear Jerry: Don't give up the fourth-round pick for this idiot.

3. It's a 50/50 chance he'll screw up but I think JJ knows it. Look at the positive side man, JJ has done good so far with troubled players that it's a strong possibility PJ will pull thru. He knows it, the whole world knows it but you can bet the media and HATERS alike will do everything they can to blow this out of proportion. I say, get him cheap and give it a try. GO COWBOYS!!!!!

4. One more arrest and Pacman will never play again. Seems like a waste of the 4th round pick to me. I hope they don't give anything more.

5. 4TH ROUND IS TO HIGH. I COULD SEE RISKING THE 6TH OR 7TH. TOO MANY IFS.
