In
a report by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram and featured on
ESPN.com, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is entertaining the idea of bring
back embattled cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones.
According
to Jerry, "Pacman" graded as the best cornerback for the 'Boys last
season. Granted Terrance Newman was injured for most of the season, the
Cowboys had a liability at safety in Roy Williams, and the team's
entire defensive backfield was at a disadvantage due to so many
injuries.
Jerry
made sure to add that bringing Adam back was a long shot, but still a
possibility. Jones said that he now believes that the fight between
Adam and his bodyguard was indeed the bodyguard's fault. Jerry also
added that he has no worries about Adam's off the field problems.
While
the Cowboys could use a little more help in the secondary department,
I'm not sure if Pacman is the right option for a team that's worried
about chemistry in the locker room.
No
matter how many times Jerry denies it, he released Terrell Owens
because of his temperament and how he meshed with Tony Romo and
offensive coordinator Jason Garrett.
I'm
not sure if bringing Pacman Jones back to a team that's looking for
comradery is the right thing to do. But then again, we are dealing with
Jerry Jones.
The
new Cowboys stadium opened this past week and with the nation's current
economic situation, Jones needs to sell tickets and PSA's. I'm not sure
if Adam will serve as Jones' cash cow, but he will definitely bring
attention to the Boys of Valley Ranch.
So
with the possible return of Adam "Pacman" Jones, that would most
definitely put Jerry back on top of league owners who carry a side show
disguised as a football team. Terrell Owens and Roy Williams are gone,
Michael Irvin is running a reality show for players looking for a shot
at playing for the Cowboys, and Jerry Jones is the proud new owner of
the largest jumbotron in America.
With
all that being said, the Cowboys could probably use Adam as a nickel
back. Terrance Newman is often injured, Orlando Scandrick and Mike
Jenkins still have not proven themselves, and the rookies are ... well...
rookies.
Jones
missed a golden opportunity to bring a couple of veteran cornerbacks
onto the team, like a Chris McAllister, that could serve as a mentor
for Scandrick and Mike Jenkins.
Pacman
Jones may add depth to a team that desperately needs it in the
secondary, but he will also add un-needed attention to a team that's
lacking focus.
