Cowboys complete trade for Jones

DALLAS — The Dallas Cowboys wrapped up their trade to get suspended cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones from the Tennessee Titans on Saturday night.

Dallas gave up a fourth-round pick in this year's draft and a sixth-rounder next year. The Cowboys would get back a fourth-rounder in 2009 if Jones isn't reinstated, or a fifth-rounder if he returns then gets punished again. Jones also is getting a new contract.

The teams have submitted all the paperwork to the league office. Formal approval is expected today. The Cowboys are braced for the players association to quibble over the contract, but team owner Jerry Jones said that won't block the trade.
