"Pacman Jones went about as far away from Valley Ranch as possible to resume his football career.

The controversial cornerback has agreed to a one-year deal with the CFL's Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

"It'll be a good experience for me to get back in game shape and compete and play football, which I like to do," Pacman told SI.com's Jim Trotter. "I'm real happy for the opportunity that's been given to me. Of course it's disappointing to me to not be playing in the NFL. But things happen and you have to adjust. "

The CFL's Grey Cup is Nov. 29, so Pacman could play the rest of the season in Canada and come back to these parts in time to help the Cowboys try to finish the season strong. But I wouldn't bet on that happening. Pacman's ties with the Valley Ranch branch of the Jones family were officially cut when he was booted out of their Prosper home he was renting."
