Sources: Cowboys agree on deal to acquire Pacman from Titans

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.

good now no more talk about us getting him.

Generally I think its wise to pass on a guy I assume is nicknamed for a propensity to gobble down lots of white pills... seems like he was made for Dallas, a team who has no history of players getting in trouble.

Yup it was going to take more than a 6th round pick. A 4th it is. Since this is a second day pick, the risk to the Cowboys is minimal, and the Titans get a pick that has a chance of unearthing at least a quality backup player. No more Pacman antics in Tennessee. Look for him in a strip bar near you in Dallas!!

the cowboys may have just landed themselves in the super bowl. this guy can play. he also is a great return man. what do the cowboys have to lose? absolutely nothing. i wish we traded for him.

Glad he didn't end up here. We simply don't need a play like him who isn't just a potential cancer, but a legitimately bad person

I would have definitely traded a 4th rounder for him. He's a huge risk but the payoff is much more than your going to get for a 4th rounder. We'll see how he does but I have a feeling its going to be a steal and some people will be griping about CB play later this season.

A 4th round pick and the safety of several Dallas-area strip clubs.

What a steal for Dallas. I'm sorry, I know people hate him, but if you look at it objectively, Pac Man is no worse than any number of guys who suit up weekly in the NFL. The difference is he has all the talent in the world, and was a top 10 pick who should just be entering the prime of his career.

Assuming he is reinstated, and isn't rusty from a year off (not a huge leap), than I think people are going to be comparing this deal to the Moss trade before too long.
