Suspended Titans cornerback Pacman Jones said earlier this month he'd love to play for the Cowboys. Apparently the teams have begun the process of trying to make a trade happen.
The Dallas Morning News, citing an unnamed source, reported Friday that Dallas and Tennessee have held preliminary talks about a trade. The source told the newspaper that the Titans have acknowledged a trade is the best way for Tennessee to turn the page on its troubled player.
Manubir Arora, Jones' agent, told The Morning News on Thursday he's discussed Jones with several teams and that Arora prefers a trade happening before the two-day draft begins April 26.
"If Tennessee chooses not to have him on their roster next year, it's in their best interest to trade him," Arora told The Morning News, "because if not, they would get no compensation."
Jones, who has been arrested six times since the Titans selected him in the 2005 draft, has been suspended since April 2007 for violations of the NFL's conduct policy and has been told by the league that the suspension will continue indefinitely. Arora told ESPN.com in February he fears Jones' banishment could include the 2008 season.
Arora has said he might petition commissioner Roger Goodell before the draft to see if his client can return. The league has banned Jones from using the Titans' facility for workouts.
Dallas is several million dollars under the salary cap and needs help at cornerback. Jones, 24, is scheduled to become a free agent after the 2009 season. His base salary will be $1.29 million whenever he is reinstated.
The Cowboys promote their player development programs as among the league's best, and Arora acknowledged that his client needs the strongest off-field support possible.
"I just have to do what I have to do to get back on the field,'' Jones told The Tennessean earlier this month. "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.''
Jones settled charges from a Las Vegas strip club fight and triple shooting at the end of the 2007 NBA All-Star Weekend with a plea deal in December to a gross misdemeanor. Also, a Tennessee judge in February dismissed public intoxication and disorderly conduct charges from August 2006.
The final outstanding case against Jones, from Georgia in February 2006, was resolved last month when Jones entered an Alford plea to a felony count of obstruction of a police officer. In an Alford plea, the defendant admit the act and asserts innocence, but admits that sufficient evidence exists with which the prosecution could likely convince a judge or jury to find the defendant guilty.
"Sometimes I make some bad decisions, it is not always that trouble seems to find me,'' Jones said, according to The Tennessean. "I am learning how to adjust to it and I am bettering myself as a person. I'm moving on and learning what I need to do to take care of myself and my family.''
