Titans Trade Rumors

"Contract negotiations between the Titans and Albert Haynesworth remain at a standstill, but that doesn't mean the All-Pro defensive tackle is just sitting around this offseason, his agent said Tuesday."

"The Titans are hoping to spend a few days practicing against the St. Louis Rams in Nashville leading up to the preseason opener between the two teams at LP Field on Aug. 9, Coach Jeff Fisher confirmed this afternoon. Fisher said the deal is not yet in place, but sounded optimistic."

"Although a trade that would send Jones from the Titans to the Dallas Cowboys had been stalled for a couple of weeks, new developments in the Las Vegas case seem likely to keep him on the sideline and not provide the closure he said he desires."

" Jerry Jones said on Tuesday that all he knew was what he'd read about the latest twist in the Pacman Jones saga, revelations that the suspended cornerback paid $15,000 in "extortion" money to Arvin Kenti Edwards."

"Suspended Titans cornerback Pacman Jones said Tuesday he's decided to wait until he's traded before filing for reinstatement with the NFL. Jones had planned to file for reinstatement Tuesday, but during an appearance on former Cowboys wideout Michael Irvin's radio show in Dallas on Tuesday morning he said he'd changed his mind."

"Adam “Pacman” Jones said on a Dallas radio station Tuesday that he will wait until he knows where he will play and if he has satisfied all of Commissioner Roger Goodell’s stipulations before filing for reinstatement."

" Tennessee Titans cornerback Pacman Jones said on the Michael Irvin radio show Tuesday that he will not apply for reinstatement to the NFL until a trade is completed."

"Even NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has admitted he is at least a little impressed by what he hears. All in all, there is a repackaged Pacman out there, just waiting to be traded from the Titans to the Cowboys."

"The Dallas Cowboys increased their offer over the weekend for suspended cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones, but the Tennessee Titans are still holding out for more compensation. Trade talks involving the Titans and Cowboys restarted over the weekend, according to sources, and Dallas’ offer was significantly more than the late round pick previously offered. The Titans, however, are still believed to be holding out for a fourth-round pick, plus more, as they had previously asked for a fourth-round choice in the 2009 draft as well..."

"Talks are back on, and the Dallas Cowboys have increased their offer to the Titans for suspended cornerback Pacman Jones, according to a source."

"Trade talks involving the Tennessee Titans and Dallas Cowboys for suspended cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones have heated up once again. After being quiet in the days after the NFL owners meetings last week, trade talks appear to be once again gathering steam and the sides are getting closer, according to sources. A league source indicated to The City Paper late last week that a trade involving Jones was “still likely” to happen, despite a statement from Cowboys owner Jerry Jones late last week that he did not know whether the deal would go through. "

" Trade talks between the Cowboys and the Tennessee Titans could bring cornerback Pacman Jones to Dallas before the NFL draft, which begins April 26. But the result of those negotiations is unlikely to affect the Cowboys' approach with its two first-round picks, according to executive vice president Stephen Jones."

"Pacman Jones will apply for reinstatement to the NFL on Tuesday, according to his lawyer, Manny Arora."

"Suspended Tennessee Titans defensive back Adam "Pacman" Jones has yet to apply for reinstatement to the NFL, but it's coming soon. His agent, Manny Arora, said Friday that Jones will apply for reinstatement to the league Tuesday."

"If Commissioner Roger Goodell isn't willing to reinstate Pacman Jones soon, agent Manny Arora hopes Goodell at least will ease up on some restrictions imposed on the suspended cornerback."

"All-purpose running back Chris Johnson is scheduled to visit with the Tennessee Titans as one of their 30 pre-draft visits with entrants into this year’s draft, according to Scout.com. Johnson’s senior season at East Carolina and his strong work at the NFL Combine catapulted him into the spotlight as a potential first-round pick. The Titans were interested in him at the Combine in February and interviewed him there."

"Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is not planning his off-season around Pacman Jones. He said that in deciding whether to acquire him, he does not need to know if the suspended Tennessee Titans defensive back will be reinstated before the NFL Draft. Although the potential deal does not appear to be dead, Jones said Wednesday the momentum for it is dying."

"There has been no movement in trade talks between the Tennessee Titans and Dallas Cowboys regarding suspended Titans cornerback Pacman Jones. But don't blame Jones. Jones is willing to do his part to facilitate a trade, including forgoing money owed to him by the Titans to offset the signing bonus money the team is demanding he repay, his agent, Manny Arora, confirmed via text messages."

" If you're worrying about why it's taking the Cowboys so long to acquire Pacman Jones, then stop it. Dallas is taking absolutely the right approach with Tennessee. "

"How many criminals are enough criminals? And if Pacman Jones is OK for the Cowboys, why not also a talented receiver like Chris Henry? Hold your angry e-mails. That Henry reference is a joke question. Just having some fun. But those of us who have gone light on crime in the case of Pacman, now find ourselves on a slippery slope."

"We have somehow stumbled into a sports "bizzaro world," a parallel universe where Pacman Jones is coveted and Terence Newman is taken for granted. It's true. I wouldn't have believed this myself, but the e-mail reaction to Newman's little declaration that "I just want to be paid as one of the top corners" was swift and brutal."

"The Titans were expecting to add Raiders cornerback/return man Chris Carr to their roster on Friday, but were still awaiting word from the NFL."

"Titans restricted free agent tight end Bo Scaife will sign his one-year tender offer of $1.47 million on Thursday, according to his agent, Kevin Robinson. Scaife, a sixth-round pick by the Titans in 2005, had 46 receptions for 421 yards and one touchdown last season."

"Titans Coach Jeff Fisher left a window cracked for Pacman Jones on Tuesday, but reiterated that chances are better the suspended cornerback will be traded or released. For now, a trade with the Cowboys seems most likely. "

"No, Goodell went plural in his reference to NFL teams that have inquired about the timetable for Jones' possible reinstatement. This is good news for the Titans. It creates the perception that the Cowboys are not the only team with an interest — serious or fleeting — in Jones."

"Tennessee Titans cornerback Pacman Jones has never had a problem on the field. He also has never been a problem in the locker room, Titans coach Jeff Fisher said Tuesday."

"Adam "Pacman" Jones spent part of Tuesday just a few football fields away from where the new Dallas Cowboys stadium is under construction. Jones, the Tennessee Titans cornerback under suspension since April 2007 for violating the NFL conduct policy, was in full reconstruction mode, trying to repair an image damaged by numerous off-the-field issues. "

" Embattled Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones was scheduled to land in Dallas on Monday night in advance of an appearance on the Michael Irvin Show on ESPN Radio (ESPN-FM 103.3) on Tuesday.
