As reports and rumors fly of the long-awaited trade between the Titans and the Cowboys for cornerback Pacman Jones, Terry McCormick of the Nashville City Paper reports that the ‘Boys have increased their offer for Jones, who remains on suspension more than a year after being booted from the league.
Per McCormick, the new offer is “significantly more” than the late-round pick (reportedly a sixth-rounder) that the Cowboys previously put on the table.
Adam Schefter of NFL Network reported on Sunday that a deal could be done as soon as Tuesday.

Significantly more? I’ll believe it when I see it. The Cowboys’ 5th and 6th round picks in this draft are only 4 picks apart. The Titans are asking for a 4th so if the Cowboys were willing to do that it would be a done deal already.

the gentleman in the front row nods…a 4th rounder and a schnauzer.! Does anyone have a third-rounder? Mr. Davis and Oakland…I’m looking your way? Sold! To Mrs. Phyliss Diller in the first row - er, Jereah Jones.

The only intelligent statement in this thread is the one stating;
“If the Cowboys upped the ante, the deal with the commish for reinstatement is done.”
Thats really sad that the new sheriff has no ethics when it comes to the will of a few influential owners. I understand the “don’t bite the hand that feeds you” thing, but come on!.

Considering the fact that Goodell works for the owners, you shouldn’t be surprised that he can be swayed by the particularly influential ones. Besides, being under contract to the Cowboys SHOULD give Pacman a better shot at being reinstated. As has been mentioned before, their methods with dealing with problem children work. Only one Cowboys player has been arrested in the last 5 years, and he was cut within hours of getting booked.

The reason Jones is wiling to up the ante is it will be cheaper to get Pacman this way. If the Titans release him, you will see a sudden flurry of teams willing to forget those little errors in his past. I don’t have to like it, but Jones is just being smart. If Pacman has “cleaned up” Jones wins. If Pacman hasn’t, the behavioral clauses in his contract should help protect the Cowboys…Jones wins.

As I’ve said before…some of us DO still have a little Cowboy pride…but it seems those are the fans JJ simply ignores…which is why, whatever he does in this situation, still can’t hide the fact he even considered adding this punk to the team…Goodell, do the right thing…for the fans and the youth that will be fans down the road…clean this wad of scum from the bottom of your boot…and don’t stop with Adam Jones.
You want a legacy that will last 100 years? Clean up the NFL at all costs.

The Cowboys have upped the ante to include a 4th Rounder, a signed copy of “King of the Cowboys: The Life and Times of Jerry Jones,” a $50 gift certificate to Applebee’s and a pair of panties once worn by Jessica Simpson.

The Pacman will never “clean up”…anything he does now or in the future to present a notion that he has changed is a facade. He WILL screw up again, and if it’s after he is reinstated there will be a lot of egg to go around.
And let’s get this right, Jerry Jones may be a smart business man, but he’s an idiot when it comes to football. Whats the cowboys record without Jimmy Johnson or Parcells? Nuff Said! Yeah Wade took them 13-3 last year, with the Tuna’s roster. I guess time will tell.

Spanky I wasn’t aware that Jerry Jones was trying to hide the fact that he wants to trade for Pacman.

“Whats the cowboys record without Jimmy Johnson or Parcells”
Jones did win a Super Bowl without either of them.
“Yeah Wade took them 13-3 last year, with the Tuna’s roster. ”
That’s right. A roster that the Tuna went 9-7 with in 2006. ‘Nuff said.

If Mr Jones can swap his two first rounders for McFadden, land Pacman and get another good CB prospect in the 2nd or 3rd round, I’d be impressed.
I’d rather he trade one of his first rounders for Detroit’s Roy Williams or Anquan Bouldin while using the other on a top corner, but then again I haven’t put together 3 Super Bowl winning squads. Either way I hope it works out… Go Cowboys!

Let’s face it, Jerry Jones is the NFL.
He introduced private sponsorship, jacked up broadcasting fees that the NFL can charge and was voted by his peers to represent the NFL Network. Soon the Cowboys will have their own television channel.
With the exception of Bob Kraft, who is BFF with Jerry, any other NFL owner is inferior.

Easy Tex Big Balls, easy now. Way too much man-love toward Jerry. Along with him “jacking” up sponsorships and fees, he’s also helped to jack up ticket prices. I won’t even comment on the “television channel” thing, the “inferior” comment or most laughable “Jerry Jones is the NFL”. Jerry is getting ready to drop a PacTurd and I can’t wait to see how it unfolds.

DC Guy, do you see the NFL suffering through empty stadiums? Seems to me that the market is handling the ticket prices. I’m not sure how you can pin all rising ticket prices on Jerry Jones since his efforts have been all about alternative revenue sources, but whatever. Nobody’s forcing you to buy a ticket, and the NFL ain’t suffering. As far as the TV channel goes, Cowboys already did it, it’s what caused the NFL to get off it’s butt regarding the creation of the NFLN. Lastly, every team drops a turd now and then. Why chastise the Cowboys for following suit?

Vox V - Forget Jerry Jones and the Cowboys. I hate them and will throw a dig in anytime I can.
I have a question for you: Do you think ticket prices/concessions/parking are fair?
