Schwartz Won't Close Door On Pacman

Sep 12, 2014 9:33 PM

Lions coach Jim Schwartz is leaving open the possibility that the team could sign cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones. "We're still in the information-gathering stage at this point," said Schwartz. "We sent (vice president of pro personnel) Sheldon White down for his workout, and he worked out good. In making the decision, it won't be a football-only decision. There will be other considerations. We want to have a comfort level with him and, like I said, we're still in the information-gathering stage." Schwartz spent some time with Jones in Tennessee.

Lions Won't Rule Out Drafting Quarterback

Jul 22, 2014 12:36 AM

The Lions need a third quarterback and head coach Jim Schwartz won't rule out the idea of drafting one next month. "You can take that first-round draft pick off, but maybe at some time in the draft a quarterback makes sense," Schwartz said Friday. "That's happened a bunch of different times. You're sitting saying, 'Hey, look, this makes sense right here.' I don't think we've gone into (the off-season) saying, 'This is exactly how we're going to fill that.' What you do is you just weigh every option that comes up. When one makes sense, you pull the trigger on it and right now we're still weighing our options." Detroit's plans may have changed since they acquired veteran quarterback Shaun Hill from the 49ers.
