Among the Cowboys best moves during the offseason was the acquisition of troubled NFL star Pacman Jones.
James Alder of About.com had this to say about the Pacman Jones situation in Dallas:
If Pacman Jones is reinstated by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and manages to stay out of trouble, he will prove to be a bargain for the Cowboys. Given his history since joining the league, however, those are big "ifs". On the field, Jones is an explosive player and his presence would give Dallas another solid corner to line up opposite Terence Newman as well as boost their return game.
The addition of linebacker Zach Thomas deserves a mention as well. While he may be past his prime and on a decline, the veteran presence he adds to the linebacking corps could prove to be invaluable.
Adler also added that The Cowboys are loaded with talent on the offensive side of the ball, but the guy that makes it all work is quarterback Tony Romo.
The person they can't afford to lose on defense would be DeMarcus Ware.
Adler concludes that the Cowboys - at least on paper - should easily win 12 games or more, making the 2008 regular season win total odds of over 10 ½ a near "steal".
