Cornerback Pacman Jones is still a member of the Tennessee Titans.  But, if he gets his way, he won’t be for long.

At a charity basketball game on Saturday night, during which he appeared and participated as a member of the Titans, Jones declared that his time with the team, in his view, has ended.

 ”I really think my days being a Titan is over with,” Jones said, according to the Tennessean.  “I enjoyed my stay here.  I just think my days as a Titan is over with.”  (If football doesn’t work out, Jones has proven in those two sentences alone that he’s capable of performing as well as Emmitt Smith on ESPN.)

Jones didn’t do any favors for the only team that wants him, the Dallas Cowboys, by setting the price tag for his services.  “I would say a first-round pick if I had to say something, but that ain’t up to me,” Jones said.

Of course he wants to be traded for a first-round pick, because if he’s worth a first-round pick it means that he’s still regarded as a highly desirable football player.

He isn’t.  Sure, he might play well for the Cowboys, if he ever is reinstated by Commissioner Roger Goodell.  But Jones hasn’t really changed and won’t change, in our opinion.  So he’ll need constant supervision, oversight, and diaper-changing from those who stand to make a buck off his talents until his talents no longer can make a buck, at which time he’ll be left to his own devices, and he’ll likely end up in a constant stream of trouble.

It’s the Mike Tyson story all over again, as we see it.  The man can’t and won’t change, so the goal is to protect him from himself until he’s no longer in a position to make other people rich(er).

And we’re still having trouble understanding why Pacman wants out of Tennessee.  Did the team not make enough excuses for his misbehavior?  Did the team not complain loudly enough when Goodell dispensed punishment?

The mere fact that Jones would show no loyalty to the team that made him the No. 6 overall pick in the draft at a time when other teams (like the Cowboys) had removed him from the draft board confirms to us that Jones doesn’t get it, and that he never will.

So, enjoy, Cowboys fans.  Because we have a feeling that not many autumns will come and go before Pacman says, “I really think my days being a Cowboy is over with.”
