ESPN: Dallas Cowboys Add Undisclosed Player To Pacman Jones Deal

ESPN is reporting that the Titans declined the Dallas Cowboys offer of a 7th round pick for troubled cornerback Pacman Jones. But the Cowboys brass is not giving up. They have now offered the Titans an undisclosed player.

This is a very interesting development, largely because we have no idea who the player is. Who could the Titans use?

Is Marcus Spears on his way out? I am not sure he fits the Titans needs. Is Anthony Henry going to be traded straight out for him? I cannot think of a player whom the Cowboys may offer for the PacMan deal.

Let’s debate this now and see if we can figure out who the player is. Here is a snippet from the article:

The Titans are considering the deal but need to address some financial issues before they accept the offer, according to the report. Jones has two years left on his original five-year, $30 million contract, and the Cowboys want to redo the deal, likely to one year.

“The kid was the sixth pick in the [2005] draft and we need to get something of value in return,” an unnamed Titans official told SI.com.

Jones has stated his willingness to rengotiate the contract and his agent, Manny Arora, met with Cowboys officials earlier this week.

Titans coach Jeff Fisher, meanwhile, seemed to indicate that the team was ready to sever ties with the suspended cornerback.

“We’ve given them permission to look for a new home and whatever happens after that happens,” Fisher told The Tennessean. “He’s entitled to his opinion. I know he has enjoyed the time that he has spent here on the football field. But because of his choices and such off the field, he’s created a situation where he’s going to have to look elsewhere.”

According to the Dallas Morning News, the reports from ESPN and Sports Illustrated don’t have merit. Read the blog here. That just sounds like jealousy for getting scooped. I’m not sure how the right hand can’t know what the left hand is doing in the Dallas Cowboys organization. But I can see how it happens in the media.

I think Dallas can get the job done with very little also, so I personally think that Dallas should hold tight and select the top corner at #22, as many on this site do.  I also agree with you about the corner situation. Dallas needs to take as many as possible as early as possible. As far as RB goes, it doesn't matter what I think. It's what I know. Yea, I am that confident at this point.  Darren McFadden is going to be a Cowboy. Otherwise, why do the Cowboys keep pushing the pricing release date back 1 month at a time for 3 months until May, which happens to be just a few days after the draft?  Jerry hopes this will get the tickets sold quickly, without too much more negative media coverage on it. I think he is right, but for what I was just estimated as a price, I will have to give up my seats or I wouldn't be able to buy my beer. If I decide to give up my beer for tickets, I would have to ride my OX to theLandryHat's house to be able to drink, and that could take months just to get there. Haaaa! Get er done!  If we share tickets, I guess that would even itself out though right?  I could do that, I geuss, if I get an endless supply of Miller Lite and a faster OX with a cooler on each side.

I think a trade up with Atlanta for Mcfadden is possible. I would not put it past Jerry Jones. Mcfadden will help sell tickets.  I also believe the Cowboys can get the job done by drafting a Corner at 22 and trading out of the first round with the 28 pick and still get a very good WR and a RB like Chris Johnson, Jamal Charles, and Felix Jones. Either one of those guys with Marion Barber can get us to the Super Bowl. I want Pacman but for no more than 6th rounder and maybe and practice squad player. Pacman has to much risk to offer more than that. In no other team is willing to take the risk then Jerry has control and Tenn. does not. Even with Pacman we still need to draft Corner at #22.

I am working on my mock draft right now with trades LandryHat, so excuse me for rambling on about Atlanta

I would then look for Atlanta to trade back to the #5 spot with Kansas City to draft Matt Ryan. Kansas City could get 2 or 3 of these picks in the trade to beef up that OL, so I believe this trade would be able to go down easily if Atlanta truly wants an early QB. If they aren't in it for an early selection, which I believe is more the case, they just made a good trade to have 1 more early pick in the draft.

TheLandryHat, I think this Pacman deal will pan out before the draft possibly, but don't talk Miami in the trade up for McFadden just yet. Although possible, I think you had it right the first time with Atlanta. Darren McFadden will not go in the top 2 picks and Jerry will be able to make a better deal with Atlanta. Atlanta knows also, if they trade down with Dallas and aquire 1 good pick-up player from Dallas (Akin Ayodole?), they will have the options wide open to come back in and take Matt Ryan or Brian Brohm having then 2 first rounders and 3 high 2nd round picks. Dallas can, and I think they will strike this deal with Atlanta. It would be the better way for both teams to approach the draft if Dallas truly is in it for McFadden and Atlanta for a good QB , and it's no secret on my part about this Darren McFaddeen trade up scenario. If it can happen it will. And guys, we all know it can happen.

If a player is involved, it will not be a starter. I am thinking an offensive lineman since Olsen has retired. Joe Berger?

Thank God that the Titans aren't letting you rob them blind.  Stay strong Tennessee!!!

Brutal, if the Pacman deal works...I think it could be added to the piling evidence that Dallas is trading up to draft McFadden. Miami is the target. I know a lot of people say Dallas couldn't afford the contract price for a No. 1 pick, but they actually can.

Dallas should not be too generous as they will be taking all the risk. And besides, Pak wants to go to Dallas. Ten does not have that much of a bargaining chip

LandryHat how what are the chances if this happens that maybe D-Mac name comes up once again.  

I would like to see pac man here.  It would add to our defense and special teams.  But we still need to maintain the offensive line depth.  I hope JJ doesn't auction the farm. .. He is not Deon Sanders!

My bet is that IF this is true about the player (which I've heard more sources than the Dallas Morning News refute this by the way) that it won't be a player of even Ayodele's status.  It DEFINITELY wouldn't be Henry.  I think its more like a practice squad guy, or that this story actually doesn't have any merit.  That would go against everything that makes this a good deal.  Jerry Jones wouldn't reach that much for Pacman knowing what he can get in the draft.  Its not like Pacman is our last hope.  He would only be wanted if it was a very low risk trade.  I originally heard 5th round pick, then its a 7th round pick, now its a 7th and a player.  I think nobody outside the two orginizations know whats going on, and it will ultimately be a 6th round pick since we have an extra one and the Titans just want him gone.  The Titans won't get greedy.

I just threw it out there, but you are likely right. Just keep in mind that we could draft corner still, making Henry expendible.

IF this is true......I would have said Carpenter but we all know he cant be traded unless his contract gets redone or something but im going to go and say......akin ayodele? Landryhat I dont think were giving away anyone in the secondary, we're too thin there. thats why this deal is getting done in the 1st place.
