Albert Breer of the Dallas Morning News, who previously covered the New England Patriots before heading to Texas, has plowed his Pats contacts, and reports that the team is not interested in cornerback Pacman Jones.

In our assessment, Jones has been attempting through his lawyer/agent, Manny Arora, to create a market for Pacman’s services, and Arora has said that Jones wants to play for the Patriots.

But the Patriots aren’t interested.  As we hear it, the Bucs and the Redskins aren’t, either.  And the Lions have declared that they don’t want him.

The only team that genuinely desires Jones’ services is the Cowboys, and we think that Arora and/or the Titans want to make the Cowboys think that other teams are in the hunt, in the hopes of getting the Cowboys to pony up a higher draft pick to get him — and a bigger contract, too.

Don’t forget that it was the Cowboys who paid receiver Terrell Owens more than $8 million per year in March 2006, at a time when maybe the Broncos were willing to offer up the veteran minimum plus incentives.
