ESPN: Adam Jones suspended indefinitely; Roy Williams trade rumors flying
by Brandon Worley on Oct 14, 2008 2:00 PM CDT
135 comments
Per ESPN, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Adam Jones for at least 4 games, and will evaluate his status after the Cowboys' week 11 game.
In announcing his decision, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said Jones' "disturbing pattern of behavior was clearly inconsistent with the conditions I set for your continued participation in the NFL."
Time for the rookies to step up. It was why they were drafted.
Hat tip to Bloomth and CTBoy for their fanposts breaking the news.
In other news ESPN is reporting that the Cowboys are actively vying for Detroit WR Roy Williams. Currently the Cowboys are offering a first round pick, yet the Lions are asking for more. At this point all talk of a trade is mere speculation but anything is possible as we approach the 4 PM (EST) trade deadline. ESPN is reporting that the Lions are hesitant on the deal because they do not have a general manager.
The DMN blog is also reporting about the trade offer, quoting an Adem Schefter report. Pro Football Talk is also reporting the same story.

As much of a homer as I am...
I can’t get mad about this. Obviously he just doesn’t get it or has some mental condition that keeps him from getting it. Either way, this is one risk that didn’t pay off for Jerry…time to move on. Good luck in Canada Pacman ’eh.

I'm not mad
But I’m not sure that the incident that occurred deserved an indefinite suspension. It really irks me when I think about the non-punishment delivered to Belicheat after the video taping incident.

Uneffective
in the return game as well as pass defense. How big of a loss can this really be besides losing a player with a unique nickname? Scandrick is lookin good and hopefully Jenkins comes into his own.

Part that bothers me the most
isn’t that he screwed up, rather that Jerry tried to sweep it under the rug and assumed nothing happened like he did in the 90s. Thankfully Goodell stepped in and backed up his threat.

Time to cut Pac lose, get back our draft pick, and end this mess.
I gave the man as much of a chance as anyone this off season, and was defending him left and right. But for now, he just isn’t worth all the destraction and negative media hype. Plus the fact that we basically gave up a 4th round pick for a player for 6 games, is just worthless.
by Zach22 on Oct 14, 2008 2:14 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
I agree
He’s simply not worth keeping around now. Cut him, and let Jenkins and Scandrick learn on the job. Should we manage to win a game before the bye week, I think we’ll be in good shape assuming Newman can come back.
Man, when it rains, it pours. I don’t particularly like the Roy Williams talk either.

You can’t be serious. That’s a pittance for an established, elite #1 receiver.

Its more about depth to me.
I know we have Stanback, butt we have most likely lost Hurd for the season. Austin has shown he can make plays when needed (Or tip the ball to andrickCrayton).
So you lose a receiver, give up a first, and give up another receiver?
by Brandon Worley on Oct 14, 2008 2:29 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I don't think RW is an established, elite #1
He is a decent #1 or a very good #2. An upgrade, but that is a lot to pay for a pending free agent.

It’s not like getting him will put us in the Super Bowl, not how we’ve been playing anyway. Then sign him FOR MUCH CHEAPER next season. IMO, he’ll have a crappy year and his stock will plummet…

Do you still think this team is a threat to go deep this year?
If so, pull the trigger. if not, keep the first rounder and sign him in the off-season. Personally I opt for the latter as I think we’re more than a receiver away.

Selfish piece of crap. Got in a fight with his baby sitter. Jenkins its time to step up boy. Newman, earn your money. Henry, stop sucking. As for the rest of the roster, Felix was a luxury for us, MB needs to earn his pay right about now. WRs besides TO suck, need Roy. as for Romo, we kept BJ for a reason, he has to win at least 2 out of 3 if the OL helps a lil.

well...
everyone wondered what would happen when adversity hit…it is definitely here…
i can understand the decision. i don’t agree with it. the conduct policy is to broad and gives goodell too much power. he’s the commissioner not overlord of law and justice. but jones knew what he was getting into. if he can’t follow the rules in this ideal situation than maybe he can’t follow the rules ever.
but despite the fact that we lose pac, we come out the deal with draft picks. so jerry definitely covered his butt. and pac’s contract was reasonable so no big loss there.

Unreal..
the suspension is a load of bull… no police report was filed, and they incident stated, that “he MIGHT have been drinking”.
if Matt Jones can blow coke of his dashboard with enough of it to be legally selling, and not be suspended how can pac be suspended for 4 games? if you are all ready to cut him, thats fine whatever. but the fact is he is a great “talent” and he has been pretty effective in pass coverage lately.
the fact is he shouldn’t have been suspended for 4 games, if at all. it’s bullshit, sorry for the profanity. but seriously think about it

Another example of Goodell's uneven distribution of "justice"
Another? Wade Wilson suspended for 4 of 5 weeks for using HGH; not distributing it or giving it to anyone else, but personally using it. Head coac caught blatantly cheating? No suspension.

Here's a comparison
Person #1 has been convicted twice for felonies and gets arrested for Hitting someone with a rock during an argument.
Person #2 gets arrested for armed robbery, yet has no criminal record, before this.
Who gets the harsher sentence?
by Taylor on Oct 14, 2008 2:40 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
If said person has been convicted twice
Then you can’t compare that to Pacman. I don’t think Pacman has been convicted of any felonies.
But, just using your argument above, I am more worried about someone that would prey on an innocent victim with a weapon and rob them than someone that gets hit with a rock in an argument as they may have provoked the other person in some way. One is a crime of passion, the other a crime of planning and forethought.

by DC_fan on Oct 14, 2008 2:43 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
true he was never arrested
but he was suspended several times, which put Jones in the position that any actions he takes will be dealt with much harsher than what others would receive. He may not have liked it but it’s what he agreed upon.
But in my argument above I was going more for the history rather than the crime itself, I should have used the same crime for both.
by Taylor on Oct 14, 2008 2:46 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I knew where you were trying to go
I would like to see someone compare the history of Chris Henry and Pacman Jones; their crimes, arrests, suspensions, etc. I think this would be the best comparative case. It seems like Henry has had less punishment than Pacman, but I seem to remember he was doing stuff just as bad and also has a history like Pacman. I guess that’s the best way to compare.

I'm not sure about felonies
But Pacman has copped several pleas already, which are convictions. He probably wouldn’t be free if they were felonies, but it’s not like his record is clean. Not that it takes away from the discussion, just saying.

Unfortunately, P. Jones has quite an extensive criminal history compared to M. Jones
And that’s probably what factored into da Commish’s decision.

and that’s why Jerry should immediately respond, “all right, Detroit. thanks anyway.”

NFL Network scroll has it as first round pick but Shefer mentions it as “At least a first round pick and at least another high pick involved”, so take with that what you can. I’m sure we’ll hear more about it in the next hour.
What scares me is that we may have thrown in a third as well thanks to the Eagles getting involved.

The Cowboys had their own category on espn's bottomline last night.
How long until we get a half hour show?

NO 1st rounder
The Dallas Cowboys are close to a deal to acquire wide receiver Roy Williams from the Detroit Lions, a source told ESPN.com Tuesday. The trade would involve multiple draft picks but would not involve the Cowboys’ first-round pick.

Wow...
Surprised he didn’t end up throwing Ware in, too

And that, was why Detroit waited until the end
gotta give credit to them, Jerry blinked first.

c'mon...
Lets be serious… what are the chances that a 6th rounder would amount to anything great? A 3rd rounder? Hit or miss, I mean we took Bennett in the 2nd round, he might have 15 receptions by years end. Roy Williams in an elite WR that can take us to the Super Bowl, if that happens, it’s all worth it, I don’t want to hear otherwise.

That's the $64 question
Whether you think this team with Williams will be able to keep up with Philly/Washington and the Giants while missing two cornerbacks, our strong safety (Hold your laughter), punt/kick returners, punter and other players.
Unless we stay healthy I think we overpaid for someone we could have gotten in March.

Keep in mind we’re only missing Newman for another 2-3 weeks, possibly only missing Pacman for 4, If we can make the playoffs and get healthy late, boy thats a dangerous team. And good look to opposing secondaries doubling TO now, I believe this will create more man on man situations for TO/Witten/Williams…

yup
The Lions will receive the Cowboys’ 2009 first-round pick, a third-round pick and sixth-round pick. The Cowboys get Detroit’s 2009 seventh-round pick in the Williams trade, plus Tennessee’s 2009 fifth-round pick now that cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones has been suspended at least four games for violating the league’s personal conduct policy.

So Roy Williams + 7th rounder for 1, 3, 6, doesn't look so bad afterall. The 7/6 are a scratch, like I said earlier, find a player in the 1st or 3rd round next year that will be as good as Roy without taking years to develop. This was a no brainer, way
GO COWBOYS!
