Pacman to Dallas almost a done deal

[RenegadeLonghorn]

IRVING, Texas (AP)—The complicated deal to get Adam “Pacman” Jones to the Dallas Cowboys was finished Saturday night. Now it’s up to the suspended cornerback to make the most of the last chance he’s getting from Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.

Dallas gave the Tennessee Titans a fourth-round pick in this year’s draft and a sixth-rounder next year. The Cowboys would get back a fourth-rounder in 2009 if Pacman isn’t reinstated, or a fifth-rounder if he returns then gets punished again. Pacman also is getting a new contract.

The teams submitted all the paperwork to the league office late Saturday, with formal approval expected Sunday. The Cowboys are braced for the players association to quibble over the contract, but Jerry Jones emphatically said that can’t block the trade.

The bigger issue is whether Pacman will ever make it onto the field for the Cowboys. Even Jerry Jones isn’t sure it’ll happen—yet the chance he might, and that he might play really well, was good enough for the team owner to absorb the public-relations hit that comes with acquiring a guy known more for arrests than interceptions.

I think JJ is gonna give him a probe period to see if he is ready and can stay out of trouble. If so we will probably see him in second half of the season.

And the deal is finally done!

Although he has SOOOO many off field problems Pacman coves some big needs for the Cowboys if he gets back to form. These being a shutdown corner and a big play kick returner although Felix Jones covers the need for a big threat return man.

I agree. If Pacman can come in and start opposite of Newman, they can move Anthony Henry to safey on passing downs. I like Roy Williams, but he just can't cover people. Pacman and Felix as our return guys.
