The soap opera that has followed Adam “Pacman” Jones during his career seems to be far from over. After a mediocre NFL season on the field and yet another year filled with off field troubles, the Dallas Cowboys cut the problematic cornerback.
This has implications for the upcoming NFL Draft because the trade that brought Jones from the Tennessee Titans to the Cowboys had different selection scenarios.
The Titans got a fourth round pick from the Dallas Cowboys but lost a sixth-rounder next year.
Meanwhile the Cowboys will get a fifth-round pick in 2009 because of the suspension the player received after an October 7th altercation with his bodyguard. This part of the agreement between the teams shows the lack of confidence Dallas had on Pacman’s ability to stay away from trouble.
Twelve times before ever putting on a Dallas jersey, Jones had being involved on cases that needed police intervention plus he was arrested six other times.
After Monday Jones is officially a free agent. Only this time around the player is not coming out a stellar year.
He played in only nine NFL games, 9 as a starter with only 31 tackles and no interceptions. He averaged 4.5 yards and didn’t score a single touchdown on punt returns.
Now Pacman is looking for a new team, but it’s not for sure that there are teams behaving like “ghosts” and looking for Pacman. Right now it looks like Jones’ NFL career is one step closer to the end, despite all the Hall of Fame potential.
This is only one of the news that will hit center stage during this NFL off season.

NFL moves during the off season
There have been quite a few changes for the NFL during the past off season. Some players have accepted deals with different NFL teams and this will definitely set a difference on the upcoming NFL season. These are some of the changes we will be enjoying this coming season:
- Jeremy Shockey, former New York Giants tight has moved to the New Orleans Saints. Shockey has earned four Pro Bowl selections in his career and received a Super Bowl ring with the Giants in the NFL Super Bowl XLII.
- Originally drafted by the Miami Dolphins during the 1997 NFL Draft, Jason Taylor will be playing for the Redskins this season. Taylor was honored by CBS Sports’ James Brown with a JB Award, given annually to NFL players who have demonstrated a commitment to building better communities and stronger families.
- Adam “Pacman” Jones will continue to make NFL history playing with the Dallas Cowboys.
- While one Jones enters the Cowboys team, another Jones leaves: Julius Jones has left his position as Dallas’ running back to play for the Seattle Seahawks.
- After four successful years with the Chicago Bears, wide receiver Bernard Berrian will continue his NFL career playing with the Minnesota Vikings.

There has been a few more changes on the NFL line ups, and most of the will start practicing this coming weeks to perform for their new teams. Make sure you keep track of all these changes in your NFL picks before the season starts in a few weeks.

You know you’re a true NFL football fan when….
- You know by heart the name of all 32 NFL football teams, but you just can’t remember that 6th continent that started with an “A”…
- You must have jersey. This is just basic stuff. If you don’t even have a jersey let’s just forget this right away.
- You’re 2 months late with all college assignments because you spend all your free time discussing the NFL draft or the price on NFL tickets on all forums and checking every hr. just to make sure there are no new videos or heated debates about NFL football in which you obviously need to step in.
- You have read, debated and analyzed every overview outline or news concerning the 2008-2009 NFL football game regular season, and if available, the NFL post season and NFL pre-season too. Of course you already made your predictions on what the NFL teams they may do this year.
- You actually reach your post number 5,000 in a NFL game sports forum. In the process you’ve lost your wife, kids, mortgage, career and and gained close to 50 lbs. but, you definitely are the ultimate NFL football fan.
- You feel guilt and remorse when you admire the career of a sports athlete and you wish you could wear his NFL jersey but this player doesn’t belong to the team you support and so you keep this a secret. (Admit it, you love Brett Favre, but you just can’t come to terms with it)
- Whenever you’re anxiously waiting to know NFL games scores you actually get a lump in your throat and all other sorts of physical reactions you’re supposed to get only when you hold your first born son in your arms.
- You get sucked into buying all NFL original merchandise because “If you’re a true NFL football fan you MUST have one of these”. Pure peer pressure, shame on you.
- You have a YouTube video in which you simply scream like crazy or rant against a an NFL score, NBA schedule decision or an NFL football team in particular. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVWuQLz3eSE
- The sports bar has a chair, with your name on it (and the shape of your buttocks)
- You know meaningless statistics like the fact that NFL fans are 37% more likely than the average American to have gambled online in the last 30 days.
- You diagnose your favorite NFL season football player’s injuries and follow up their recovery strictly and surprisingly, you now have a sudden knowledge of physical therapy and sports medicine.
- You are in an office pool (brownie points if you came up with the idea and you keep the NFL game schedule) and watch EVERY game there could possibly be on Sunday.
- Like an NFL team, (minus the gigantic paychecks), you spend your week analyzing the best strategy to keep positive and feel like a winner on Sunday night.
- You probably own a life size vinyl fathead of his favorite NFL football player(s) at home. Yes, maybe even in the living room. It is called showing your pride.
- You have a a fan face: whether you opt for a rubber mask or you prefer to spend hours in the mirror artistically adorning your NFL-football-loving-self using your kids finger paints’ there is nothing that says “I will kill for my team” than a colored fan face. If you do not choose the right paint you might still have a hint of that blue and white look when you get to the office on Monday but at least no rival will dare to mess with your fan face on NFL football Sunday.
