Default Pacman: Why not a 3rd pick for him?

The rumors are flying around that Dallas is probably only going to do a 4th for him. With the PATS history of turning players around (Dillon / Moss), why not give up a 3rd? This guy has obvious 1st round talent for a CB.
Yes, he's 10 times worst off the field then those 2 together (Dillon & Moss) but give him a 1 year contract with fine print all over it regarding his off the field (& on!) actions so he can easily be fired if necessary! I mean where else are we going to get a 1st talent like this for CB with a 3rd. I think it would be risky but CBs besides pass rushers are the toughest position to find. This of course should only be done if it can be 100% verified that the commish will reinstate him for next year before the draft.

Maybe New England doesn't have a helmet big enough for his melon?

I honestly don't think the Pats are desperate enough. Not nearly as desperate as Dallas. Let them have the headaches.

I'd rather give up a third for Jason Taylor. No thanks to Pac Man

Apparently the Titans are only really looking for a 4th round for him. There isn't much risk just as there wasn't much risk with Moss. If they are on a one year term where they are easy to relinquish if they act up then what is the real risk. I understand Goodell has added policy that could potentially punish teams for the off field actions of their own players so that would be the only slight risk. Surely Pacman realizes that one year of good behavior and a ProBowl caliber season and he will get a huge payday again from someone.

I didn't say this about Dillon or Moss, but I'm saying it about Ms. Pacman: Please don't come here.

Default Re: Pacman: Why not a 3rd pick for him?

I'll admit, I have flipped-flopped on this issue now since in the past I called him a piece of ***** & don't want him. But, with our growing list of mediocre CB free agents being signed, why not take a guarded risk for one year?!? As a football player , can anyone here show me (scouting, NFL coaches assessment, etc.) that he's not a possible very good CB? He would help bring the PATS defense to elite status...

No thanks on Pacman.

He should go to the Bengals, since a tiger can't change his stripes.......

Pacman will come back, play well, and after a few games, "make it rain" somewhere, resulting in another suspension, and putting his team behind the 8 ball for the remainder of the season....

NO THANKS

The difference is that Pacman doesn't WANT to change. Unless they were threatening him, he would buy his own strip club and beat strippers all night long.

Dillon wanted to win.

Moss wanted to prove people wrong.

Pacman just wants to get paid and have a "posse".

He's a loser!
