RotoTimes.com - Pacman Jones Updates
April 2, 2008
A Dallas insider has told ESPN that the proposed deal sending Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones to Dallas appears to be in jeopardy. Not only are the Cowboys refusing to provide the Titans a fourth-round pick this year and another choice in 2009, but there are disagreements over whether the Cowboys would reimburse the Titans for some bonus money owed to the suspended cornerback. "It's pretty muddled," a Dallas source said. "Any time you have disputes over both the picks and the money, you have a real problem." The teams held intense discussions Tuesday night without being able to resolve their issues. "The deal can still be made but there is a lot of work to do," a Titans source said. Sounds like there are some major snags in this deal, but we're confident there will be at least another 100 updates before all is said and done.

There's a difference of opinion between the Dallas Cowboys and Tennessee Titans in trade talks involving Adam "Pacman" Jones, according to the Dallas Morning News. The Cowboys see a troubled player down to his last strike, so they don't want to overpay for his services. The Titans see two playmakers – a shutdown cornerback and an elite return specialist – and don't want to just give away such a unique, young talent. Bottom line… there are no guarantees that Jones will be reinstated in 2008, which means Dallas doesn’t want to give up too much. On the flip side, the Tennessee organization wants to remove as much egg from their face as possible, following the embarrassing off-the-field escapades of Jones, a former first rounder, which means they want two draft choices for the rights to his services. It boils down to a game of chicken, and we should find out soon who will blink first.

Adam "Pacman" Jones recently handed out food and personal care items at the Atlanta church where his aunt and uncle are members, according to ESPN. The troubled cornerback is trying to clean up his image, hoping this good deed for his hometown will be another step toward showing he's worthy of reinstatement to the league that suspended him for numerous arrests.

Tennessee Titans head coach Jeff Fisher said Pacman Jones has never had a problem on the field, and he was never a problem in the locker room, according to the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram. "I've enjoyed him," Fisher said. "Pac is a good teammate, when he was available, [and] a very good practice player and fun to be around. These issues, involving his personal decisions, are separate." Jones' six arrests - and the one felony conviction - since Tennessee made him a first-round draft choice in 2005 are why the Titans are talking to the Dallas Cowboys about a possible trade.
