NFL | Cowboys acquire Adam "Pacman" Jones from Titans

IRVING, Texas — The Tennessee Titans finally washed their hands of suspended cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones on Wednesday, agreeing in principle to trade him to the Dallas Cowboys.

Cowboys spokesman Rich Dalrymple confirmed the teams had an agreement, 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 team had no further comment beyond a two-sentence e-mail.

Dalrymple declined to discuss specifics of the trade.

"What I can confirm is that we have agreed in principle with the Tennessee Titans on a trade that will bring Adam Jones to the Cowboys," Dalrymple said.

He declined to say who or what the Cowboys might give up in the trade. Specifics likely will be announced today or Friday, Dalrymple said.

ESPN.com reported the deal involved a fourth-round draft pick this weekend and another in 2009 if Jones plays this season. The Titans would pay back that selection in 2009 if Jones is not reinstated for this season.

Agent Manny Arora said Wednesday night that they had not been told of the trade by either team, but were cautiously optimistic. Jones has talked often of his desire to play for the Cowboys in recent weeks, even appearing on Michael Irvin's radio show in Texas.

"We recognize the fact of where we are with regards to the league," Arora said. "We recognize the fact he's got a guaranteed contract with Tennessee, and we recognize the fact there's risks involved at this point. We also recognize there's significant public-relations implications for the teams, and in fact Dallas has to sell tickets, the knowledge their fan base has a point of view. ...

"I don't have any hesitation saying we can get this done and get it done quickly."

Meanwhile, a Renton man accused of shooting three people outside a Las Vegas strip club and then extorting money from professional football player Jones has been ordered held on $1 million bail.

Arvin Kenti Edwards declined to appear in King County Superior Court on Wednesday. He's being held for investigation of being a fugitive from justice pending his extradition to Nevada.

Notes

• Jared Allen, the All-Pro defensive end who led the league in sacks last season with 15 ½, was traded from Kansas City to Minnesota in a blockbuster deal, making the Chiefs one of the major players in this weekend's NFL draft and the Vikings a serious contender in the NFC. "I have chills right now," Allen said after signing a six-year deal that includes $31 million in guaranteed money and could be worth more than $74 million if he reaches certain incentives. "It's just starting to sink in. As a player it's cool because it shows appreciation for what you have done. But at the same time, personally, I look at it as a new challenge."

• Wide receiver Rashied Davis signed a three-year contract with the Chicago Bears.

• New England signed former Seahawks tight end Marcus Pollard.
