REPORT: TITANS, COWBOYS AGREE ON PACMAN TRADE
Posted by Michael David Smith on April 23, 2008, 6:41 p.m.

ESPN’s Ed Werder is reporting that the Titans and Cowboys have finally agreed in principle on the terms of a trade that would give the Cowboys the rights to suspended cornerback Pacman Jones.

Per Werder, the Titans will receive the Cowboys’ fourth-round pick in this weekend’s draft. The Cowboys could also end up sending additional compensation to the Titans, depending on whether Jones is reinstated and, if he is, how much playing time he gets. Jones will sign a new contract with the Cowboys; he will pay $500,000 to a charity of the Titans’ choosing as part of a financial settlement with the Titans.

If Jones is still suspended a year from now, the Titans will send an undisclosed 2009 draft pick back to the Cowboys.

The big question is whether Jones will ever be allowed back in the league, and whether the revelation this week that he paid hush money to the man arrested for a strip club shooting will have any bearing on his reinstatement.

Asked about that yesterday, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said, “I only know what I’ve read about that. Just take that on its face.”

this should be good news for us, the cowboys were one of the teams that many thought would take a cb in front of us

this could push a guy down, like jenkins

[/quote]Not really. The Cowboys could still take a CB as, you know, they don't even know if Pacman is going to play a down at all this year yet.

The beginning of the end for the pukes if you ask me.

I wonder how long it will be before he throws a pile of dolla bills at Jessica Simpson and Romo ends up getting shot?

[oregonpackfan]

The Cowboys are inviting more drama into their team. They not only have to deal with T.O., Romo and his Jessica doll, now they invite Pacman into the "America's Team"(we all know the real America's team is the Packers) spotlight.

Owner Jerry Jones enjoys attention as much as any of his players.

What's the latest? Is Pacman expected to be reinstated?

MINXX SHOOTER THOUGHT PACMAN ORDERED A HIT
Posted by Mike Florio on April 23, 2008, 9:27 p.m.

A reader has forwarded to us a copy of the “declaration of warrant/summons” issued on April 18 in connection with the arrest of Arvin Kenti Edwards, the man accused of opening fire outside of a Las Vegas strip club in February 2007.

The document helps to clarify recent reports regarding the nature of the $15,000 payment that Edwards thereafter pursued from Titans cornerback Pacman Jones. It seemed to be hush money, but it was characterized by Jones as money that was paid only because Edwards threatened to come after Jones and/or his family.

As it turns out, Edwards initially wanted the money because he believed that Jones had ordered a hit.

Jones made the disclosure to Las Vegas police in September 2007, roughly seven months after the shooting. He told authorities that, as he was leaving the Minxx club after the infamous “make it rain” altercation, a man approached Jones and told him that he would take care of the problem. Jones says he wasn’t sure what the man was talking about, and that Jones replied by saying, “whatever.” Moments later, Jones heard the popping of a gun and observed the same man shooting Tommy Urbanski and two others.

So, basically, the guy shot Urbanski and the other two people because he thought Jones had asked him to do it. And, surely, Edwards’ version of the events will be different than Pacman’s “whatever” remark.

Meanwhile, the report also states that a member of Pacman’s entourage previously had said that he would “f–k this motherf–ker” and that “[w]e’ll smoke his ass” in reference to one of the other persons who was shot.

Here’s our question. What did Pacman Jones say to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in April 2007 or at any other time thereafter when asked about the Las Vegas incident? Our guess is that Jones used the “I don’t know nothing” defense, which would be directly at odds with what Jones thereafter told police in Las Vegas, possibly at the urging of lawyers who feared that the authorities eventually would find the shooter, and that the shooter would claim that Pacman ordered the hit before Pacman could offer up a carefully spun version of the events.

Needless to say, the Cowboys might merely be loaning that fourth-round pick that was sent to the Titans earlier today for Jones. Because we now suspect that, one way or another, Commissioner Roger Goodell will find a way to keep Jones out of the league in 2008.

Bottom line? Jones paid a guy $15,000 for a hit, not because he ordered the hit but only because he feared that if he didn’t pay the money the guy would come after him. And, amazingly, Jones opted not to alert the authorities to the threats from the man who was admitting to these crimes.

Pacman, we suggest that you hold off on trying on that silver helmet with the star.

he's done

goodell should never let him back, ever

[MadScientist]

Goodell may have been soft on the cheating Pats, but he has no tolerance for criminals and thugs in the league. He's going to find something and make it stick to Pacman. The guy makes Vick look like a saint.
