Tennessee Titans "Pacman Jones saga beyond old"

I’ve strived so much to avoid writing a piece on troubled Tennessee Titan Pacman Jones for so long, mostly because every other member of the sports literati has covered it ad nauseum, but I’ve finally given into the temptation.I don’t want to get into the specifics of Jones’ issues, his suspension, or the potential trade Jets 6 Sanchez AFL50th jersey
with Dallas, but I do think I should take it upon myself to be one of the very few writers out there to voice what 99 percent of all NFL fans are thinking: The Pacman Jones epic is exhausted.Not merely tired -- that's not accurate enough. But outright exhausted.I understand the suspension, which was because of Jones’ involvement in a Las Vegas shooting back in 2007. But the keys to Jones’ freedom lie in the hands of NFL commisioner Roger Goodell, who should not be conservative in his decision-making regarding the reinstatement of the three-year veteran.Jones’ agent, Worrick Robinson, recently stated, "Both sides are savvy business people and they both have experience in these matters, and they are moving at their own pace. They are not going to let the pace of this be dictated by anyone else...But the draft is going to influence everything."If that's the case, the Titans and the Cowboys need to pick up their pace. Do they not want to resolve this as soon as possible? And do they really want this mess clouding up the upcoming draft that's less than two weeks away?Even Jones himself is working hard toward a solution, as he is willing to give up a performance bonus ($1.2 million) to help negate the signing bonus ($1.275 million) the Titans want back.Sure, both teams are back to 4 Brett Favre Purple jersey
communicating, which was not happening last week. But a Pacman-to-Dallas deal can't come soon enough.When Jones reapplies for NFL reinstatement Tuesday, Goodell must waste no time in approving it. This will only be good for the league, the draft, the teams involved, the fans, not to mention Jones and his agent. Because continuing to do what's already been done (which is nothing, really) doesn't get anyone anywhere.
