As the Titans try to scare up maximum salvage value for the No. 6 overall pick in the 2005 draft and as the agent for the guy taken with that pick, Pacman Jones, tries to dupe the only team interested in Jones into thinking that there actually are other teams who desire his services, one of the teams has made it publicly known that there will be no pursuit of Pacman Jones.

Specifically, Lions CEO Matt Millen has declared that the team isn’t interested in acquiring Jones.

“We’ve talked about it, but for a lot of reasons, we aren’t going to try to get him,” Millen told the Detroit News.  “He has a lot of talent.  We wish him well.”

Other teams supposedly interested in Jones (as has been reported and as we’ve heard) are the Patriots, Redskins, and Bucs.

Though the Pats haven’t made their intentions known, publicly or otherwise, we’ve heard that the Redskins and the Bucs aren’t biting. 

And if the Cowboys are bidding only against themselves for Jones’ services, it won’t be the first time.  Two years ago, the Cowboys gave receiver Terrell Owens a three-year, $25 million contract at a time when no one else was willing to even enter that ballpark, if sign him at all.
