Upon the release of Chicago Bears Defensive Tackle Tank Johnson, rumor had it he would tank to Dallas. Just like most rumors typically are, this one was totally false. Actually, on draft day back in 2004, Bill Parcells and company did not list Tank on their draft board. Of all the troubled players, including Chris Henry, Odell Thurman, Pacman Jones, and Tank Johnson, the Dallas Cowboys were only willing to take a risk on Pacman Jones. According to the Cowboys, they had not known of his off the field issues. In other words, the Cowboys were willing to risk the off the field baggage for the talent.
The bottom line here is in no shape or form are the Cowboys, even with new coach Wade Phillips, interested in signing Tank Johnson. There is no doubt that Tank would fit in Phillips' scheme, there is also no doubt that the Cowboys could be interested in Tank, but do not want to admit it. Based on their apparent willingness to draft Pacman Jones, I think the Cowboys have more interest then many believe in the troubled defensive tackle. Only time will tell.
The latest rumor is the Cowboys ongoing trade talks with the Kansas City Chiefs regarding star running back Larry Johnson. This could be another attempt by the Chiefs to help their negotiations with the running back, or it could be for real. My personal instincts tell me no chance that the Chiefs give up their do-it-all running back. Paint this story false as well.
