Source tells cwatkins Cowboys probably won't trade Jenkins unless they get value

[Romo 2 Austin]

Anything less than a 3rd and im not listening. When you consider if we keep him for the year and lose we would get either a 3rd or a 4th rounder in supplemental we are better off renting him for this year.

[CCBoy]

What, trade Jenkins and bring back Ball? No thanks, let change come next season...and naturally.

[Kangaroo]

If they can get the offer or package him in to move up from the fourth to the 2nd round I could see the cowboys doing that trade.

I have wanted quality over quantity all along..I mean if we could trade back into the 2nd even giving up the late rd picks where we just had a 1st, 2nd and 3rd..if they were all day one starters I would say that was a pretty successful draft...most of the time that's all you can expect out of a full 7 rd draft

I'd rather keep him for a year than give him away for a 4th.

Albert Breer made the point that if Jenkins plays well this year that he'll fetch a comp pick in next year's draft. So you don't want to give him away for nothing.

[fanfromvirginia]

I wouldn't do it for a 4th alone but if that 4th were the difference somehow between us getting either Konz or Glenn or not then I think I would.

[noletime95]

The Cowboys also have to account for the compensatory pick Jenkins will bring for next years draft.....in addition to have another quality CB for next year.

I'm not sure if I would deal him for less than a 2nd.....I expect he'll comand a good size contract and bring a 3rd-4th rounder next year anyway.

[Yuma Cactus]

Unless someone offers a 2nd or a 3rd + 4th then keep him around. If he plays good throw the franchise tag on him and see if you can trade him, if not let him walk and take your supplemental.

agreed and a seasons full of "business decisions"

[brooksey1]

At this point just keep him for his contract year, he will probably play well if healthy, then we can look at the finances and dynamics that were produced with those three cb's. Maybe we re-sign him and move Scandricks contract.

I like the idea of having 3 starting corners. God forbid if we pick up a FS who can also play man and disrupt the wr's off the line.

Maybe we turn Bruce Carter into a blitz machine?

That type of thinking is probably going to revolutionize the NFL.

I came into this thread just to mock Watkins on that very point. But then I saw the body actually said 'significant value' and I was like, oh, that *is* revolutionary.

[Gaede]

I'd trade him for a 3rd or high 4th

[btcutter]

Jenkins isn't stupid.

He'll probably play his best this year since he has seen what a productive year will do for his wallet when he becomes a FA.

We should use that as a motivation for Jenkins....we will have three very good CBs. We have the option to trade him mid season for a 2nd rounder or get a 3rd round comp pick.

No need to be desperate and get less.

Pretty much where I am, if Jenkins and a 4th rounder gets me the player I want - say Peter Konz - I would do it.

If not, keep the great depth for 2012.

After all, it is a passing league.
