This trade is a classic case of addition by subtraction.  No one disputes that Pac Man Jones is a game altering talent but he just wasn’t worth the hassle in the long run.  The Titans will receive a 4th round pick in the 2008 NFL Draft for Jones.  They will get an additional pick in 2009 if Jones is reinstated and plays this season for the Cowboys.  If Jones stays suspended in 2008 the Titans will fork over a 2009 4th round pick to the Cowboys.  Jones has played in 30 games (28 starts) in his NFL career and he has made 115 tackles, has 1 sack, has defensed 18 passes and he has intercepted 4 passes including one that he returned for a TD.  Jones has also returned 63 kickoffs for 1,648 yards (26.2 avg) and 63 punts for 712 yards (11.3 avg) with 4 TD returns on punts.  Even if Jones is reinstated and plays well the Titans won’t miss him because of all of the off field garbage that they have had to put up with from him.

The Titans got better quick last season behind QB Vince Young. Don’t expect miracles this season as the Titans did nothing to help the offense in the off-season. They also let RB Travis Henry leave to Denver as a free agent. The Titans defense also doesn’t look too great for 2007. So, I’m betting the under.
