Just when it appeared that the Dallas Cowboys and the Tennessee Titans wouldn’t be able to strike a deal regarding a trade for cornerback Pacman Jones, it now appears that the two teams are once again working toward getting it done. According to Adam Schefter of NFL Network, a trade finally could be in place by Tuesday. Per Schefter, the Cowboys had been offering a sixth-round pick, but the Titans had been holding out for a fourth-rounder. The ‘Boys also wanted to recover a pick from the Titans in the future if Pacman were to get in trouble while in Texas. Our wild guess is that the final deal will be for a fifth-rounder. Or maybe a sixth-rounder in 2008 and a conditional pick in 2009. None of this means that Jones will be reinstated by the league. If, however, Jones’ rights are held by a more powerful and influential owner like Jerry Jones, there might as a practical matter be more pressure on the league officer to let Pacman play again. http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/04/13/pacman-talks-back-on/
UPDATE Titans | Team seeking fourth-round pick for P. Jones Mon, 14 Apr 2008 06:54:21 -0700 John Murphy, of Yahoo! Sports, reports the Tennessee Titans are looking to acquire the Dallas Cowboys fourth-round pick in the upcoming NFL Draft in trade for the rights to suspended CB Pacman Jones. The Cowboys originally offered a pick later in the draft before amending that to a draft pick and a player, however the most recent talks have focused on one of the team's higher draft choices, either a pick in the fourth or fifth round. If the National Football League does not decide on the short-term future of Jones, who is expected to file papers with the league for re-instatement as early as Monday, April 14, than a trade for Jones to the Cowboys could include a later-round pick in 2007 and a conditional choice in 2008, which would protect both teams in case Jones were not to be re-instated in a timely manner that would allow him to join his new team before the start of training camp. http://www.kffl.com/hotw/nfl
Isn't Pacman still under suspension from the NFL?????? How can the Cowboys and Titans talk about a trade while he is still suspended? If I was Goddell I would say TOO BAD, he is not being reinstated at this point.
