He's now a Dallas Cowboy.

The Dallas Cowboys and Tennessee Titans have agreed in principle on a trade for suspended cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones, sources told ESPN on Wednesday.

Dallas will send its fourth-round pick in Saturday's draft to the Titans for Jones.

There are also conditions attached to the trade related to Jones being reinstated by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and how much he plays for the Cowboys. If he plays a significant amount of time in 2008, the Titans will get an additional pick from the Cowboys in 2009.

If he doesn't get reinstated by the NFL, the Titans will send an undisclosed 2009 draft pick back to the Cowboys.

Also, Pacman has reached a financial settlement with the Titans regarding his contract situation. ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports that Jones must pay $500,000 to a charity chosen by the Titans sometime in the next two years. He will receive a new contract from the Cowboys.

I'm a Cowboys fan and I'm actually glad they were able to get Jones. I think a fourth round pick is a bit high, but the guy was the 6th overall pick not too long ago. Dallas is known for having a superb rehabilitation program, so if there is any place for him to thrive with his last chance Dallas is that place.

Ok, now feel free to make jokes.

why make jokes? doesn't it already hurt your soul enough to root for the Cowboys?

What Thai said.
That and there's no guarantee he's going to be re-instated.

But maybe he'll "make it rain". That will be worth it.

[ALL CAPS]

Who's bad? He's bad! It's the Pacman Jooones.

Okay, I understand the compensation thing about whether he actually ends up playing or not, but they both went about this the ENTIRELY WRONG WAY.

Rather than offer a 4th, and ten get Tennessee's 4th back next year if he plays... why not offer a 6th or a 7th and then swap a 4th for a 6th NEXT year if it pans out? Tennessee comes out better (getting a pick this year AND the ability to move up next year) and Dallas isn't on the hook for this assclown beyond a late round pick. If it doesn't pan out, the Titans owe Dallas the pick back anyway, and nobody gains anything.

Except the Titans... they win because they got this douchebag off their books.

[creepy]

Why didn't they just wait until he got reinstated?

1,400 posts!

And I just noticed that that was Mike's 1,300th. Crazy.

I think Pacman said he wasn't going to request reinstatement until he was traded.

I think it's a fair price to pay, but you have to think the chances of him getting reinstated and *staying* reinstated are poor. Dallas allegedly has some of the best strip clubs in the country - what are the chances he doesn't hit one up? If it's reported that he has even stepped inside of one, the commish is going to be all over him.

Probably an upgrade, though, if he can find a way to stay an active NFL player.

And more importantly, how come I have yet to visit Dallas and its' strip clubs yet?

There's a joke here, something about it being more a necessity than a luxury, but I am not going to make it.

[Deadly]

Well, Moose, which one of your seven teams is gonna beat the Cowboys this year?

[Jack Quinn]

all of them

[Deadly]

And if they don't, don't worry. You can just pick more teams.

[Jack Quinn]

Dead, you have to understand that one of my favorite teams in the league each week is whoever is playing the Cowboys (with the exception of the Giants) GO OTHER TEAM!

Exalt and in 100% agreement with, except you can take the "Giants" caveat out of the equation for me.

I've got no hate for the Giants.

Also included in this group is: Whoever's playing the Jets, Whoever's playing the Dolphins, Whoever's playing the Colts, Whoever's playing the Raiders, Whoever's playing the Steelers and Whoever's playing the Broncos. Farve retiring has moved Green Bay off this list. The Redskins might be on this list, I'm not quite sure.

Ok, that's like half the league apparently. At least I only root FOR one team.

I've never quite understood why Pacman doesn't just BUY a strip club or two...
