Howards End???? - Page 2 - Dallas Cowboys Forum

In Mick's mail today, Mickey made an interesting comment. He made reference to the fact that with all we've heard of Howard, we have heard virtually nothing from the Cowboys about it. It does sort of give off the feeling that Dallas may not be nearly as interested as the media continues to make them out to be.

Actually, I still can't shake this feeling that Dallas' two main targets in the draft are Merriman and Spears. Either one could likely make Howard unnecessary.

And think of the potential savings by making this type move. Young and cheap can be better than old and expensive. Lets draft for the future if it is all possible.

so what exactly is a non-serious trade conversation?

Haslett: So what will you give in exchange for Howard?
Parcells: That's up to JJ
JJ: Uh.wel...uh..ah 3 dallas cheerleaders. *giggles like a schoolgirl*
Parcells: Please feel free to slap yourself for that comment Jerry.
JJ: Well..ah...uh..umm...Dat... ah...Nguyen is uh...ah not...
Parcells impatiently: NOT AVAILABLE.
Haslett: so... uh whats the deal?
Parcells: a 2nd rounder. Just kidding.

This is my guess as to a non-serious trade conversation. lol

I don't think the money is an issue. The Cowboys brain trust has talked to his agent and know his demands; they seem to have a plan for his salary and SB and fitting it into the cap. So the hold up is the Saints trying to get more than anyone is willing to give for him.

BTW from what I''ve read his $16 mil does not have to be all in SB money. Part of it will be in roster bonuses and various incentives so the $16 mil is an inflated number to make it look like a bigger deal than it is.
