The wow factor that Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones was talking about adding to his team could be Adam "Pacman" Jones.
According to multiple sources, the Cowboys have had internal discussions about obtaining the suspended Tennessee cornerback if he's reinstated by the NFL.
Jones has been suspended since April 2007 for violations of the NFL conduct policy.
Jones is considered one of the top cornerbacks in the NFL, and that alone has made the Cowboys think about bringing him to Dallas, according to the sources.
There would be numerous obstacles, starting with the suspension.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said commissioner Roger Goodell will review Jones' case before training camps start in July.
And should Jones be reinstated, the Cowboys would have to work out a trade with the Titans.
But the Titans could also release Jones, putting him on the open market.
Jones' Atlanta-based attorney, Manny Arora, did not return a phone call seeking comment, but he told The (Nashville) Tennessean he planned to ask Goodell to re-examine Jones' suspension before the April 26-27 NFL draft.
On Thursday, Jones again said he wants to play for the Cowboys, on an Atlanta radio station.
"I just have to do what I have to do to get back on the field," he said. "Hopefully it won't be long, and hopefully it will be a couple of more months. I would love to play for the Cowboys, America's Team."
If the Cowboys acquire Jones, he would join Pro Bowl cornerback Terence Newman and Anthony Henry, who led the team with six interceptions in 2007. Jones would also be a leading candidate to return punts.
In 2006, he averaged 12.9 yards per return with three touchdowns.
The Cowboys have signed players with troubled pasts before. The team signed nose tackle Tank Johnson last season after he served a suspension for violations of the NFL conduct policy. Johnson maintained a good relationship with Goodell during his suspension, and the Cowboys touted their off-field player programs headed by director Bryan Wansley and consultants Calvin Hill and Jacqualene Stephens.
Last month, he entered a guilty plea on charges of felony obstruction of officers stemming from an incident in Georgia.
Jones said he's made some bad decisions.
"It is not always that trouble seems to find me," he told the radio station. "I am learning how to adjust to it, and I am bettering myself as a person."

If he actually uses his head and keeps out of trouble, he's going to have a good career ahead of him.

It's an honor to play at such a high level, he should have lost that chance.[/quote:2e8gr5qq]
Now that is really silly.

how smart is Al looking to you Bobby?
Jerry buying the Raiders would be the best thing to happen in Oakland, in, well, forever.
At some things, he's like an idiot savant........
As a judge of character, not so much......

Why P? Because he is responsible for a man being paralyzed? Because he's been arrested more times then I can count? The NFL does NOT want to project that type of image.
Get off your fucking box already.
Jones is a waste of talent.[/quote:5v5aa60s]
This is America and like it or not playing in the NFL is a job. Jerry Jones knows that he has to hire great players to get his team to where he wants it to be. Also, if that player has had legal problems and paid his debt to society he should be free from assholes like yourself trying to hold his past against him.
Now you get off your soap box and step the fuck off.
P
PAID HIS DEBT TO SOCIETY???? A man is fucking paralyzed P!!!!!!! How can can you even say he paid his debt to society? I bet Jone hasnt even helped with any of his medical costs or anything.
I used to think you were open minded, but man you're a real hypocritical piece of shit.
Nothing you even type on here is even worth reading now.
Im not talking about Jones smoking a joint, or listening to bad advice...he is responsible for a man getting paralyzed!![/quote:3afnauwn]
Wow, I've never seen you get that worked up over Pastrana........!

Travis has done many things to make what happened right. The same cant be said about Jones' situation.[/quote:34eaxi86]
Huh?

Like what?
Details please
Yep. It seems that Scott decides who he wants to be guilty and of what charges.
Also, if you have such a problem with his sentence and charges you might want to take that up with Las Vegas DA office.
BTW, at this point I don't think they even know who shot the guy.

Well, I don't think there is anyone claiming that Jones actually did the shooting......
He's not a guy who I'd really like to have in my neighborhood, but that's a whole different thing than saying he shouldn't be allowed to do his work......

Is this what you intended to write? If so, I'm not bright enough to understand it.
