So Close And Yet So Far Away
Well, it certainly looked like the Pacman trade was imminent early last week, but things have stalled out. Unless something has changed recently, the Titans are stuck on a multiple draft picks in the 2008 draft, while Dallas would rather one draft pick in the 2009 draft that could be voided if Pacman doesn’t get on the field enough.
Here’s to hoping Jerry Jones sticks to his guns and doesn’t take a gamble. Let’s face it, there ain’t too many teams lining up to give up draft picks this year for a player who might not even play a down. Might as well wait until after the draft and see what tune the Titans begin playing.
Personally, while I love the talent he brings, I’d be fine if this deal falls through. He wasn’t exactly a great teammate over in Tennessee — his ego getting in the way of his fellow players — and that is something the Cowboys probably don’t need.
But, at the right price (i.e. cheap), I could see taking the gamble.
If nothing happens before the draft, expect the Cowboys to take a cornerback in the first or second round. They are in desperate need of getting someone to bring in during nickle situations. In fact, if the Pacman deal falls through, expect at least one cornerback on day one of the draft and at least one more on day two.
