Detroit Lions coach Jim Schwartz said Wednesday at the NFL meetings that the Lions are gathering more information about Pacman Jones' level of commitment and how he could fit in Detroit's system. The Lions were among a few teams that worked out Jones last week in New Orleans. "Not only did we send someone down there to work him out, but also someone to spend some time with him," Schwartz said. "I wouldn't say anything's imminent, but we're definitely interested and gathering information." Schwartz coached Jones in 2005 and 2006, when he was the defensive coordinator for the Titans and said he already knows Jones' talent from their history together. "I didn't need to look at the tape," Schwartz said. "He's still young. I looked at the numbers, but when you have experience with somebody, unless there's an injury or something like that, the workout won't be the final determination. The workout was just to see what kind of conditioning he was in, I would say, from a commitment standpoint. "I can't speak from where he's at," Schwartz added. "We know where he's at from a physical standpoint. He had a good workout. I think that where we're at is we're evaluating all our options." Source: Associated Press
We all know Pacman is a recidivist loser who will just heck up again - its fact. The theorem has been proven like 3 times now - he was too much of a happy to get signed in the CFL for God's sake. Like signing him to the Lions is going to help the reclamation of that franchise anyhow - I don't understand why they wouldn't bring in character guys to help change the culture rather than guys like Pacman.
