Warrick Hoping for Another Shot at NFL

When talking about front-office futility, Matt Millen sets the pace. Mercifully for Lions fans, he's been relieved of his duties as the team's president and general manager, but his legacy lives on. His infatuation with using high-round draft picks on wide receivers might have been his biggest weakness, although that's certainly up for debate.

Charles Rogers and Mike Williams are on the list of first-round wide receiver busts, but a name that's often overlooked -- and one that we can't blame on Millen -- is Peter Warrick, who the Bengals selected with the fourth-overall pick in 2001.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones put to rest any discussion that Pacman Jones would return to the team this year by saying it won't happen.

"I have no plans to bring Adam back," Jones said Monday afternoon.

FanHouse Time Machine: Who Ya Got? Greg Ellis or Randy Moss

Save the actual act of filling out the pink slip, Greg Ellis' 11-year career with the Cowboys is done. He was hailed as a team leader -- something the organization lacked in recent years -- and his DallasCowboys.com bio confirms as much:

"... Ellis has been a pillar of consistency and production for the Cowboys in his 10 seasons as an NFL player. Whether it be overcoming the adversity of a serious injury or making a position switch in the later stages of his career, Ellis has always responded."

But as you might have heard, the NFL is a business, and players -- even the good ones -- are sent on their way as soon as a coach, scout or owner determines they're no longer useful. And with 2007 first-round pick Anthony Spencer ready to assume Ellis' job, it was a relatively easy decision, at least from a business standpoint.

Emmitt Smith Thinks Cowboys Will Struggle to Replace Terrell Owens

In February, ESPN mercifully pulled the plug on Emmitt Smith's television career. I think they did it as much for him as for us. Either way, thanks, World Wide Leader. But the NFL rushing leader still has opinions, and when asked, he'll happily share them. Especially if it involves the Cowboys, a team Smith helped win three Super Bowls in the 1990s.

At a Tuesday news conference in Arlington, Texas, Smith talked about the direction of the 2009 club -- one that managed to miss the playoffs last season, and, the year before, lost in the divisional round after a 13-3 record -- and he didn't sound impressed. A lot of that, it seems, has to do with Jerry Jones' decision to cut Terrell Owens.

Raiders Might Want to Think About Vick

Despite what MIchael Vick told a judge in bankruptcy court last week, there's no way he plays another "10 to 12 years" in the NFL. In fact, there's a chance he never plays again if commissioner Roger Goodell chooses not to reinstate him.

That decision won't come till summer, but if Vick, who is nearing the end of a 23-month prison sentence in connection with dog-fighting, is allowed to return to the league, he'll almost certainly have suitors. And the Oakland Tribune's Jerry McDonald thinks that, under the right circumstances, he could be a good fit for the Raiders.

Your Move, Jags: Jones Is Out of Jail

Things are looking up for former Jaguars first-round draft picks. First, a judge dismisses DWI and marijuana possession charges against Reggie Williams, and now Matt Jones is a free man, serving just seven days of an eight-day jail sentence. (And, yes, I realize that while Williams is free to go about his business without further legal entanglements, he's currently unemployed. Hey, it could be worse.)

Jones was arrested and canned last week for violating a plea agreement on a cocaine possession charge stemming from last summer. The crime that landed him in the clink: drinking beer. Out of context, jailing somebody for chugging a few pops while playing golf is a ludicrous notion, but two things worth mentioning: first, Jones was already on probation on drug charges, and second, if this had been, say, Pacman Jones, the media (FanHouse included) would beat us about the head with the news for the foreseeable future.

Pacman Has a Friend in Jay Glazer

"Adam" Pacman Jones knows something about making the wrong decision. His entire professional life has been a series of missteps, the last of which -- a hotel bathroom cat fight with a Cowboys-appointed body guard last fall -- landed him in his current predicament: unemployed.

Jones appears out of NFL options despite being 25 years old and in his football prime. In fact, he's been relegated to appearing on Pros vs. Joes, a show usually reserved for retired professional athletes who had distinguished careers and are now looking for something to get them out of the house. (In the latest episode, Jones joined Alonzo Mourning, Steve McNair, Robert Horry and Priest Holmes as the other "pros.")

It seemed pretty likely that, when Pacman Jones (I don't think we should have to use "Adam" if he's not behaving) signed up to join the awesomely sad Pros vs. Joes reality television show, he had officially hit the low point of his football career.

Pacman Jones, formerly of the Dallas Cowboys, inked a new deal after the free agent period opened. The only downside of said new deal is that it's with Spike TV, and it will involve Pacman "playing" football on Pros vs. Joes.

Pacman Jones: 'It's Going to Work Out'

Filed under: Cowboys

1 COMMENT
When the Dallas Cowboys acquired Adam "Pacman" Jones from the Tennessee Titans last year, many league observers thought it represented Jones' last chance, because Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was the only owner willing to sign a paycheck for Pacman. So when the Cowboys got rid of Pacman this offseason, it looked like his career was over.

Pacman, however, has other ideas, and he says he expects to play for some NFL team in 2009.
