Trade Value...

[sportscurmudgeon]

A friend of mine is in Indy covering the Combine. It's his job. :cool-smil

I just talked to him on the phone and he said that Pacman Jones is definitely avalailable and the price to get him is dropping like a rock.

He said that the Giants were offered Jones earlier today (and Lord knows the Giants need help in the secondary) for a 2nd round pick this year and a third next year. The Giants said no.

Later, he said, after other teams had passed on any similar deals for Jones, the Giants were offered Jones for a 3rd round pick this year and a "conditional fifth" next year. The Giants still said no.

Pacman was a high pick in the first round not all that long ago. Talk about plummeting value...

Here's another reason why "character matters"...

If pacman can't stay out of trouble in Nashville, there is no way he won't be able to stay out of trouble in D.C.

He's a loser and this won't be the last bad news we hear about him. It only gets worse from here for Mr. Jones...

I have to admit that upon the news of Pacman throwing $81,000 in cash around at a strip club that the thougt crossed my mind of him coming to DC.
Not saying it's a good idea given his problems, but he's becoming a very good cb, I'd say better than our own Carlos Rogers who was picked 3 spots after him in 05.
A part of me feels that if he's still availabe this summer & we've cut Springs & not signed anyone, out of desparation I could see Gibbs at least talking to him & considering a trade.

I don't think that Pacman is going to get cut. If he does come to DC, it will at least spur me to go to strip clubs more often. And why is everyone coming down on Pacman, and not one mention of Inky, Blinky, Winky or Spot? (sorry, it had to be done!)

That's impressive you remembered the names. I've secured an exclusive picture of PacMan partying the night of the incident

Nice work on the pic. Guess I spent too much time in arcades growing up. Oh, the good old days...

[That Guy]

crazy. if you could guarantee he'll behave and not be in prison it might even be worth considering. he really needs some jail time though.

[FRPLG]

I'd love to get a talent like him for a 5th round pick. I just don't think he fits though and at the end of the day we don't JUST need talent but guys who can get the job done. It's hard to get the job done when you're in jail, or still drunk, or mouthing off. On top of all that he'd be such a distraction. He'd be a TO level distraction for the Skins I think. No go.

[Crat92]

The question is......are the 'Skins willing to make a deal with the preverbial devil? No doubt the guy can play, but is his on field production worth the headache of his off the field endeavors? Don't do it! how does the 'ole saying go? Once is an accident, two is a coincidence, three times is a trend!

[djnemo65]

I think its safe to say he's not a Gibbs guy

[Master4Caster]

Pro sports forgives quick, if you are good; but, I think this guy is out of control.

He should go somewhere safe, like Minnesota!

[Hijinx]

Isn't there a good chance he could do jail time? You'd have to be brain dead to trade picks for a guy who may end up in jail. So expect the Skins FO to give our 1st round and 3rd next year for him. Give it a week.

I think he's clear of jail time, but the guy is a trouble magnet. Maybe he can incorporate this into his touchdown celebrations, score a td, pull out a wad of cash from his sock and make it rain on the fans....

LOL!!!!! I guess they just slipped through the cracks.....

Ahhh...this is why I miss the 80's so much! I remember watching the Pac-Man cartoon on Saturday mornings, eating Pac-Man ice-cream on Fridays, which was always ice-cream day in school, but most importantly playing pac-man for like 3 hours at a time trying to beat the highest score. And you know, after all of these years, I can still have fun playing pac-man!
