Pacman is not walking through that door

Mar 27th, 2008 by Bill Burt

While it has been a topic of discussion on the airwaves the last few days, I got confirmation today that the Patriots have “zero” interest in acquiring Adam “Pacman” Jones, the troubled cornerback of the Tennessee Titans who was suspended for the 2007 season.
Apparently rumors were circulated that the Patriots contacted Jones’ agent.
Not true. It never happened.
Word has it that Jones problems are much, much bigger than anything associated with Corey Dillon and Randy Moss. That fact that he is only 25 years old and does not yet appear repentent for his transgresssions probably has something to do with it.
So there. Pacman Jones is not walking through that door to save the Patriots.

    Well that’s some good news. Was never a big fan of his play, on or off the field.

    Bill what are your predictions for the 7th pick? Trade and Keep it?

    I meant Trade “or” Keep it? (The 7th pick)

    I believe the Patriots don’t feel there is a seventh overall pick type of player there, which makes me believe they may trade back in the first round and pick up a second or third round pick.
    But I also wonder if they like one of the left tackles, three of which are expected to go in the top 20. I’ve been feeling the Patriots might want to move Matt Light to the right side and bring a true left tackle, in the 320 pound range and maybe a tad more athletic, to the fold.
    It is tough to predict Belichick’s intentions on draft day.

    Pacman will mess up in Dallas. He is a train wreck waiting to happen.

    I think there is a posibility that with all of the teams that need help who have the top 6 draft picks, McFadden could fall back to 7th. If that happens then what the Pats should do is call Jerry Jones (of Dallas) and try to trade the 7th pick for the 2 first round picks that he has which are both in the 20′s. What are your thoughts on this Bill?

    I think Dallas is an excellent fit. They’ve done some rehabilitation work of their own (Terry Glenn/Terrell Owens) and I think they’ve been relatively successful at it. Turning Jones around could be quite the feather in their cap, and I think it’s achievable.

    Oh, I know, Owens is still a blabbermouth, but at least his teammates no longer hate him and vice versa, and I haven’t heard one bad thing about Glenn since he got there.

    I think this could really work for Dallas, and for Jones, if he lets it.

    Corey Dillon and Randy Moss’ problems were never close to Punkman Jones’ rap sheet. I wasn’t all that impressed with him as a player from what I’d seen of him – he made picks and had good returns, but not enough to warrant wanting him for the Patriots.

    People forget that a lot of Dillon’s issues were because he was with an indifferent Cincinatti Bengals team and he could not stand that virtually no one else on that team cared enough to win like he did.
