Pacman's Next Stop May Be Detroit

Adam "Pacman" Jones has nearly became an afterthought in the NFL after being released by the Cowboys in 2009, but that may change in the near future.

The Detroit Lions have made it clear that they're interested in the services of Jones, who was once considered a rising star in the NFL.

In two seasons with the Titans Jones had 116 tackles, four interceptions, and four return touchdowns. On the flip side, his stats with the Cowboys were anything but impressive.

Head coach Jim Schwartz is heading into his second season as coach of the Lions and is looking to completely renovate the Lions' defense that has always been mediocre. They ranked dead last in pass defense last season.

Schwartz has always been considered a defensive specialist and he coached Jones for two seasons with the Titans.

We all know Jones has the talent to be a shutdown corner, but whether or not he can stay out of trouble is the real question. The past definitely doesn't say that he can.

It's hard to believe that an NFL player can get into this much trouble, but since coming into the league in 2005, Jones has been arrested six times and involved in over 10 incidents.

The fact that the Lions are showing interest in him proves how desperate they are on the defensive side of the ball.

This could end up working out for the Lions considering Schwartz may know how to deal with Jones since he's coached him in the past.

The Lions are one of five teams that have looked into Jones to see what kind of condition he's in.

Jones should still be in moderate football condition since he played a season in the CFL for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

It would be a huge gamble for an organization that is trying to climb out of the abyss to sign a player like Jones, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
