Hey, remember when Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said the Pacman Jones deal was seemingly headed nowhere? Yeah, forget that because Mr. Pacman is goin' to Dallas. Earlier this month, the Titans cooled on the idea of trading their former fifth-overall pick for just the fourth-rounder the Cowboys were offering. There was some discussion about Tennessee getting more than that, but after a few weeks to think about it, that ain't happening:
The Titans have agreed to trade Jones to the Cowboys for a conditional fourth-round pick, which could go back to the Cowboys if Jones does not play this season, NFL Network's Adam Schefter is reporting.Since NFL commissioner Roger Goodell probably won't rule on Jones' NFL future until late in the summer, the Titans are looking at a 2009 fourth-rounder. (Update: apparently not; according to Ed Werder, Tennessee gets the '08 fourth rounder. Moving on...)
This seems to indicate two things: first, the market of Jones was nonexistent outside of Dallas; two, Tennessee really, really wanted to unload this guy.
For the Cowboys, (provisionally) acquiring Jones doesn't really change their draft plans. Unlike trading for Anquan Boldin for Ocho Cinco, players who could make an immediate impact, Jones hasn't played football since 2006. And assuming he's reinstated (which looks less likely with each passing allegation), he'll have to learn an entirely new system. Swearing off strip clubs for a few years should help, though, so there's that.
Either way, I don't think anybody would be surprised if Dallas drafted a cornerback in the first round on Saturday.

1. The Cowboys trading to get this dirty perp only makes the look on Jerry Jones' face when the Giants beat him in the Super Bowl sweeter.

3. The Cowboys better hope that PacMan Jones does stay out of trouble while in Dallas if they want to be in the Super Bowl this season.

4. Pacmans got some problems, but I feel bad for him. He had a rough life growing up, and he seems to want to do the right thing. Hes trying. I think they should let him back... one more chance.

7. ROB, DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT FOOTBALL UHH.MAYBE YOU SHOULD GO TO THE HOCKEY SIGHT AND TALK ABOUT THE CUP.
WHATS DONE IS DONE.THIS IS ADAM'S LAST CHANCE. IF HE CAN TURN IT AROUND THEN GOOD FOR HIM. IF NOT, NO BIG LOSS FOR THE COWBOYS OR FOOTBALL.

8. Jerry Jones always picks up the turds in football. In my opinion it promotes bad behvior in sports. That's why everyone hates Jerry Jones and I've been a cowboy fan for 30 years.

9. Pacman will be a starting corner this year. I think it's a good risk by Dallas as long as they can control him.

10. Any team that would take that worthless, no good bum, deserves to lose every game.
So he had a hard time growing up someone said. I ate cornbread and milk for supper growing up. That was all we had. I love it though and still have it often by choice.

11. Sorry Nunya and Jeff- the playoffs. I seem to have hit a nerve talking about your boy. Since we are being petty, Jeff that would be 'hockey site' not 'sight'. And Nunya instead of 'lay off the pipe rob' try 'lay off the pipe Pacman. BTW Nunya your comment wasn't so clever that you had to post pretty much the same thing twice, at least use a different name if it takes you nine hours to come up with the same thing.

12. I wish Pacman well he certainly can play the game but hopefully he grows up. I would't necessarily say that Jerry Jones picks up garbage players. Before he got there, cowboys were struggling, made the move with Jimmy Johnson and I believe three years after that 1-15 season, they were champs. If my Eagles would have won just one superbowl, I'd be happy. I do agree that this will most likely be his final chance, and hopefully he takes this seriously

13. robby boy, how do you really know it took me 9 whole hours to come up with a 'not so clever' post? You must think I'm a child huh? You got it wrong buddy, I called your post which was a huge phuck up BTW and this is all you can come up with? Besides, PJ is NOT my boy, it wasn't my decision to make so by saying so I'm defending MY Team NOT this fool we're picking up. I'll tell you what, WHEN he plays your team and makes a pick or returns for a TD I'll gladly cheer for the guy. I have nothing to hide robby, I'll be a Cowboy fan forever!
GO COWBOYS!!!!!

14. ROB, I SEE YOU ARE A GIANTS FAN, SOOOO WERE YOU ONE OF THOSE N.Y. FANS READY TO BOOT OUT ELI? I KNOW, I KNOW, HE HAD SOME BAD TIMES BUT IF HE WOULD NOT HAVE WON THE SUPER BOWL, YOU WOULD BE STILL SCREAMING FOR THE BUM TO LEAVE? I CAN SEE WHY SEVERAL PLAYERS WANTED TO PLAY ON THE ROAD INSTEAD N.Y (N.J.). THEY WERE TREATED BETTER BY THE FANS FROM THE OTHER TEAMS. MOST COWBOY FANS ARE WITH THE TEAM IN GOOD AND BAD TIMES. BUT I GUESS YOU N.Y. PEOPLE DON'T SEEM TO GET THAT. AND WHAT ABOUT THE LOVE YOU AND YOURS SHOWED FOR YOUR COACH AWHILE BACK??
A NEW SEASON IS COMING UP AND WE PLAY YOUR TEAM TWICE, SO WE WILL SEE.....

15. Yeah, Pac pretty much owns Eli...no wonder he wanted to go to the Cows.

16. I love how the story on Adam 'Pac Man' Jones has turned into NFC fans battling it out over who's smarter, Giants fans or Cowboy fans. . . a debate for another day. Being a Titan fan i can tell you that we are glad to see Pac go. Good luck to the guy- hope he turns it around, he's a troubled young man. However, he is, last i checked, an adult. Adults (for the most part) are responsible for their actions no matter their troubled past. Maybe with no guaranteed money Pac will find the incentive he needs to stay out of trouble.

17. Nunya- read your first two posts, they pretty much say the same thing except 9 hours apart- thats how i reached that conclusion you dope. I'm glad you and Jeff feel the need to defend the Cowboys but i never attacked them. I just happen to not like Jerry Jones or Pacman Jones. Although I'm a Giants fan, I happen to think that the Cowboys have a very good team and look foward to seeing them play the Giants next season. And yes I wasn't sold on Eli or Coughlin but I sure am glad Reese was.

18. ROB, I CAN TAKE THAT. I NEVER LIKED ELI FOR WHAT HE DID TO THE CHARGERS. NEVER LIKED COUGHLIN EITHER, BUT ALWAYS ENJOYED THE WARS BETWEEN OUR TEAMS. NFC EAST HAS THE BEST BATTLES. J. J. IS INTO WINNING IN ANYWAY HE CAN AND TRIES TO PUT IN A GOOD SUPPORT GROUP FOR THE TROUBLED PLAYERS. IF JERRY WAS NOT THE OWNER OF THE COWBOYS I WOULD MOST LIKELY HATE HIM ALSO.

19. Wow! Jeff, Nunya, and Rob, y'all have been battling it out like the teams you love so much: hot and nasty with tempers flaring in the beginning and shaking hands and making up in the end. Play on Cowboys and Giants, and fans alike - ain't the NFL the greatest!? As the biggest Cowboys fan on the planet since the days of Bob Hayes and Don Meredith, I hate the Giants, Eagles, Redskins, Niners, and Steelers while we're playing them but have the utmost respect for them at the same time. Kudos to the Giants for a fabulous comeback year. We'll get you next time though. Let's give PJ a chance and see if he's learned his lesson - finally. Maybe he'll end up like TO and turn into a man.
