I'd be willing to trade Ware for two first rounders and eat the cap hit for the move.
I think he is about to really decline hard now that he has hit 30. This has been his worst year in the league since his rookie year. In the past he used to get injured during the season but this year it actually started in TC. I wouldn't be surprised if he only plays 2 or 3 more years. Once he loses his explosiveness he will no longer be dominant as he has never been a great technician as a pass rusher and has never been much of a bullrusher.
I'd be fine to keep him since I enjoy having him in the Cowboys uniform but I also know if we keep him now we'll end up with just a good player the next couple of years and not a dominant one. At the end of that stretch we'd be left with nothing except some dead cap space.
Letting Seymour go has helped the Patriot try to rebuild their defense and I think we might be able to do the same with Ware. It was even worse for the Patriots since they were SB contenders and Seymour didn't have quite the same chronic health issue that Ware has had since the 2009 season.
