IRVING, Texas — The Tennessee Titans finally washed their hands of suspended cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones, agreeing in principle to trade him to the Dallas Cowboys.
Cowboys spokesman Rich Dalrymple confirmed the teams had an agreement Wednesday, but no terms had been filed with the NFL office, which already had closed for the day.
The Titans also confirmed the deal, adding that terms had to be finalized.
The Titans gave Jones permission to talk to other teams weeks ago, and the cornerback had been barred from working out on their property in February. The Titans and Cowboys struggled to agree on compensation for someone who hadn’t played since December 2006.
Jones was suspended in April 2007 for his off-field conduct, and a January visit to an Atlanta strip club prompted the NFL to tell him the league wouldn’t consider reinstatement him until prior to the opening of training camps in July.
