Tennessee Titans Trade Pacman Jones to the Dallas Cowboys

This is one of the happiest days of my life.  It ranks just under my wedding day and the night I found out my wife was pregnant.  As LastSd mentioned in this diary, the Titans traded Adam Pacman Jones to the Cowboys for a 4th rounder in this year's draft.  #32 also settled with the Titans on his contract:

Also, Pacman has reached a financial settlement with the Titans regarding his contract situation. ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported that Jones will forgo the $1.25 million performance bonus that he earned in 2005. Instead of repaying the Titans a portion of his signing bonus, he has agreed to make a $500,000 donation to a charity of the Titans' choice within the next two years.

He agreed to a new deal with the Cowboys that is for 4 years with no guaranteed money.  Smart deal for the Cowboys.  If he stays out of trouble he will get money.  If he doesn't, and he has proven time and time again that he can't, he gets nothing.  But guess what, next time he gets arrested the crawl on TV will read "Cowboys cornerback Pacman Jones arrested for...." instead of having the Titans name linked up.  That gives me goosebumps.

impressive
That's a sweet solution to a complicated problem.  All three sides got something they wanted, with some security built in for the two teams.  If Pac keeps clean and gets lots of playing time, he gets payed and the Titans get some extra compensation next draft from the boys.  If he never sees another NFL game, the Cowboys get some compensation from the Titans so they won't look like fools.  And even a charity will benefit.  That's a piece of work, that is.

Other pick
I wonder what the other pick is that we would get if he plays enough.

Sixth Round in 2009
Here is a link to the story:

I can't believe that we have to give them a fifth round pick next year if he gets reinstated and then gets suspended again.

So he can keep on screwing us.

Maybe some hard pipe-hitter in Dallas will take care of him next time he goes to the club.

What a waste.

true
but if he gets suspended again he isnt going to be playing. Therefore we traded a fifth to get a fourth. Not a bad deal in my book.

What have we learned from this?
Never draft a player that is wearing a shirt with a picture of himself on it.

Shoulda known.
