ENTER PACMAN

Titans, Cowboys agree on terms for Adam Jones


The hoopla is finally over in Nashville, and will just begin in the Big D. The Tennessee Titans and the Dallas Cowpokes agreed in principle to exchange the former West Virginia Mountaineer Adam “Pac-Man” Jones for still-undisclosed terms, but sources are reporting a possible fourth-round pick in the draft this weekend, along with a future pick should Pac-Man actually lace up his cleats this upcoming season. Both teams confirmed the deal on Wednesday and will await approval from the NFL front office.

The move from America’s team marks the second time in as many years that Jerry Jones has welcomed a player coming off of a high-profile, long-term suspension as a result of multiple mug shots. Last November, the Cowboys brought in tackle Tank Johnson after he sat out eight games before eventually being released by da Bears.

Should he finally get reinstated into the league, Jones will have to put other extra-curricular activities on hold, including his professional wrestling tag duo “Team Pacman” which was wrestling under the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) promotion, and his hip-hop record label National Street League.

Jones was drafted sixth overall in the 2005 draft by the Tennessee Titans at cornerback and enjoyed his best season during his sophomore campaign, in which he recorded 62 tackles, a sack, one fumble forced, twelve tips, and four picks (one pick-six). However, he arguably shined brightest during kick and punt returns (averaging a league-leading 12.9 yards per return), where he darted and danced by Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde, eating countless dots along the way.
