Cowboys, Titans agree to Pacman trade
By JIM WYATT • Staff Writer • April 23, 2008
The Titans have traded suspended cornerback Pacman Jones to the Dallas Cowboys.
Dallas will send its fourth-round pick in this week's draft to the Titans in exchange for Jones.
There are also conditions attached to the trade related to Jones being reinstated by the NFL, and how much he plays for the Cowboys.
If Jones is available or on injured reserve for 16 games in 2008, the Titans will also get a sixth-round pick from the Cowboys in 2009. Jones doesn’t have to play in the games, he just can’t be suspended.
If the NFL doesn't reinstate Jones, the Titans will send a 2009 draft pick back to the Cowboys.
Jones also reached a financial settlement with the Titans in which he must pay $500,000 to a charity chosen by the Titans some time in the next two years. He will receive a new contract from the Cowboys.
Jones must pass a physical before the trade will be finalized.
“I am excited for Adam because I know this is what he wants,’’ said Manny Arora, Jones' agent and attorney. “I don’t want to speak for Adam, I’ll let him speak on his feelings when he officially becomes a Cowboy, but I know this is what he wanted.
“I am glad it’s done. I don’t care how it got done, or the reason it got done. If everything goes through Adam gets what he wants and that is what he was looking for.’’
