    PACKMEN WANT PACMAN?
    Posted by Mike Florio on April 1, 2008, 7:11 a.m.

    We need to preface this one by pointing out that it isn’t an April Fool’s gag. (We’re out of the April Fool’s Day business for the first time in our six-plus-year history because each year more and more people believe the intentionally phony stories, which undermines our unintentionally phony stories.)

    The Green Bay Packers are interested in Pacman Jones. Our good friends at Sporting News mentioned the possibility in last week’s magazine, with the image of a dejected Reggie Wayne on the cover (or, alternatively, he’d just been kicked in the nuts).

    On the surface, the Packers don’t need Pacman because they have Al Harris and Charles Woodson. But Harris will turn 34 in December and Woodson will be 32 in October, so at some point the Packers have to think about going younger.

    Whether the guy who makes it rain will be accepted by the folks who make it cheese remains to be seen. Many of the Green Bay fans didn’t want Randy Moss last year, even though his presence arguably would have been the difference between an NFC title game loss and a Super Bowl triumph.

    And Pacman is an even higher level of turd, so we can’t imagine the folks in Green Bay reacting well to Brett Favre’s legend being followed by Adam Jones.

    On Monday, it was reported that teams other than the Cowboys are interested in Jones. Those teams have not yet been identified.

    It wouldn't be a good idea. Can you imagine how mad Harris and Woodson would be? Pacman is not going to want to come here unless here is the starter. Anyways I don't even believe the story; I can't see TT doing it.

          Pacmonster doesn't have much say in the matter in terms of where he winds up. The guy is under contract, and the Titans can ship him wherever they want to...i.e. whoever they get the most from for his rights. I doubt the Titans are concerned with him getting a starting gig.

          I could see the Packers having some interest, but I would consider a deal very unlikely at this point.

            HAHAHA. Randy was just HUGE in the playoffs for the "unbeatable" Patriots. Wonder if these guys actually watch games or just read what the others in their journalistic circle jerk write and then regurgitate it and call it their own.

              He does have a say. Are you really going to trade for guy that doesn't want to play for your team? All he has to say is I would hate playing for the Packers and bam we stop going after him. Your not going to trade for a guy thats just going to wind up being a problem.

                Um, even if he WANTS to come to your team, you are probably trading for someone who will wind up being a problem.

                  I agree that you can't make predictions like that, but you can't say for sure that he wouldn't have made a difference either. No one can predict what exactly would have happened.

                    Maybe so, but that wasn't my point. My point was simply that he does have a say in whether he wants to play here or not.

                      Pacman has no say in anything...the guy is lucky to even have a chance to play in the league again. He's on a short leash.

                      Sure, if he openly opposed going to your team, you'd be stupid for trading for him. However, if that team put together the best offer regardless (think Matt Millen stupid) the Titans would be shipping Pacman to the highest bidder. They don't give a rat's ass about Pacman's wants.

                        I sure could go off Moss' playoff history though.

                          Doesn't sound like Ted. But he's surprised before.

                            I dont think this would happen but if it did I could see it as the beginning of the end for the team.

                              PACK DON’T WANT PACMAN
                              Posted by Mike Florio on April 1, 2008, 11:06 a.m.

                              Earlier in the day, we posted a non-April Fool’s April 1 report regarding a rumor in last week’s Sporting News that the Green Bay Packers are interested in Titans cornerback Pacman Jones.

                              The Pack’s possible interest in Pacman became particularly relevant on Monday, in the wake of a report in the Nashville City Paper that one or more teams have joined the Dallas Cowboys in the pursuit of Pacman.

                              But count the Packers out, according to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. Citing an unnamed source, Silverstein says the the Packers aren’t interested.

                              “Why they would want a guy who spends as much time in strip clubs as he does the weight room given the number of young players they have is anyone’s guess,” Silverstein writes. “The Packers are in need of a corner to eventually replace either Charles Woodson or Al Harris or both, but aside from Koren Robinson they haven’t taken many chances on troubled players.”

                              But, supposedly, someone else is interested in Pacman. We just don’t know at this point who it is.
