I heard Pacman is on the final year of his contract which only pays him something like 1.2 million for the 2008 season.

The Cowboys are rumored to be offering a 5th or 6th round pick.

If we offered our 4th round pick for Pacman, we would probably get him.
There is a good chance the player we draft in the 4th round will not
make the team. Last year we drafted Kareem Brown in the 4th round with
the 127th pick. He did not last long.

Pacman knows that if the commish allows him to play in 2008, he is going
to have a short leash. He also knows that if he has a good 2008, with no
outside trouble, he will probably score in the free agent market in 2009.

If we do lose Pacman after one season and he gets a good contract,
we will get a decent comp pick (probably equal to the 4th we gave up).

I feel the reward vs the risk is worth rolling the dice.

So worth the 4th round pick - not even a question for me.

Id give out a 4th rounder for him in a heartbeat the only thing that worries me is he keeps stating that he wants to play for Dallas, I wonder if he'l be pist being traded to us n not Dallas.

Isn't this pointless? I thought the Pats came out today throwing out the "not interested" thread out to the press to tone things down?

I doubt it.
His own lawyer said he'd be a good fit here.

Does anybody know for sure how trading for Jones affects the salary cap, assuming he does not restructure his contract? For example, would the Pats take on a pro-rated portion of his original signing bonus towards their cap, or is that original bonus all on the Titans' cap regardless if they trade him or cut him? Also, how does his suspension affect what is due on his original contract?

Here is what I read he was due to earn in salary before being suspended.
2007: $1,292,500
2008: $1,742,500
2009: $2,192,000

I can't say anything about the suspension, but a team is never on the hook for $$ paid by another team. In other words, the Pats' cap hit would only reflect whatever they paid him.
