Would You? Simmons to Cowboys

[conner01]

I would keep all of my draft picks for next season. With the decreased salary cap and the pending franchise tag for Dak, we need to keep the picks to fill out our roster. Plus Simmons wants to get paid and has Dak’s agent.

The cap is going to be an issue and the best fix is drafting your needs, not buying them

I just don't think this team is 1 player away from turning things around. They need to sit back and see what Dalton looks like in his first start. Unfortunately it's not unrealistic to think we may have a pretty high first round pick this next draft.

I think I will have to sit on that thought about a high draft pick..

And see what hatches?

Get it?

We should be looking to trade off, not trade for.

Trade Tank Lawrence first.

No trades now unless you can really work a sweet deal with the player. I mean, where's the cap coming from for this guy? There are going to be some surprising players released this offseason and every team is going to want to make trades for picks. With picks, you get cap relief, long term. That helps you to get to the otherside of this virus thing and allows you to right the ship. Teams who go all in on captraps right now are going to regret it later IMO.

I like Simmons but where is the money coming from, unless you are just trying to rent him for a year and then, what are the chances he can turn you into a championship team because after this year, he's gone and you are out whatever you paid for him.

if i was jerry i would not give up any draft picks rigt now period! if i want to upgrade safety i will go sign earl thomas.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

No draft picks. We aren't winning anything with this d and the downgrade at qb.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Don’t invest another dime into this season.

Bomb Goes The Dynamite!

 

[Dreski]

Ah yes, another player represented by Todd France

ESPN has the Cowboys bolstering its secondary by trading for Broncos safety Justin Simmons who’s a low-key star.

Broncos trade Justin Simmons to Cowboys
Dallas Cowboys get: S Justin Simmons
Denver Broncos get: 2021 second-round pick, 2022 fourth-round pick

Two years ago, a struggling Cowboys team turned around its season by sending a first-round pick to the Raiders for Amari Cooper. The move was widely panned, but Dallas was right: The Cowboys were a much better team with Cooper on the field, they won the NFC East and they turned around what had been a struggling Dak Prescott.

Now, it's a flailing defense that needs to be fixed. The Cowboys haven't been interested in safety Earl
Thomas, but what they need is someone who can be stout against the run and solid in coverage. Trading for Simmons would be a bold move, especially given that they just lost Prescott for the season, but Dallas has enough to win the NFC East with Andy Daltonbehind center if it can get the secondary right. Team owner Jerry Jones and the front office also have shown an interest in trading for young stars they can sign to extensions, and Simmons would presumably be open to a significant extension on the sort of long-term deal the Cowboys favor.

Broncos fans would likely want to hold out for a Jamal Adams-sized package in return for their star safety, but that's just not realistic. Adams was two years away from free agency, while Simmons is already on his first franchise tag. The Broncos weren't able to come to terms on a contract extension before the season with the Boston College product, and with Simmons set to make $13.7 million on a second franchise tag against a $175 million cap next year, things aren't going to get any easier.

If Denver loses its next two games and falls out of the playoff race at 1-5, it will have to face facts. There's no sense in having Simmons play the second half of a lost season before letting him leave in free agency. Locking in a second-round pick gets the Broncos a better pick than a third-round compensatory selection, has that pick arrive a year early and allows general manager John Elway to spend in free agency without negating that would-be compensatory pick.

I love the player, not not the contract you will have to give him.

I read the article like it had happened!!!lol

No way Jose

He runs 4.6

 

[kskboys]

i'm not being sarcastic, or playing gotcha. which high salaried players did we trade for that messed up our team?

Cooper.

Also, Roy Williams.

 

[kskboys]

Trade Tank Lawrence first.

If someone would take that monstrous salary, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Eeeeek. NO FRICKIN' WAY.

Someone needs to break Dak's agents ankle. I'm surprised Dak hasn't fired him.

 

[FiveSuperBowls]

Jerry cannot afford to trade any top draft picks. The team is salary cap strapped and will need the rookie talent.

 

[ondaedg]

Judging by their use of 2nd rounders on D, this looks fine.

lol. Saves us from either drafting the obligatory TE or some project who will spend the first two seasons recovering from some crazy injury.

And then run like Johnny Knoxville.

 

[Floatyworm]

No......reason being we will be able to get a SS in the draft next year...and not have to absorb another fat contract.

 

[Whiskey Cowboy]

Absolutely not. We've lost both offensive tackles, our starting center our starting TE, starting 3-tech, and QB1. To invest any further into this season would be insane. The only players I would remotely consider are Tony Jefferson, Eric Berry, or Earl Thomas on extremely team friendly deals. Otherwise, they're going to need that cap space next year and it would be very wise to roll it over.
