Just imagine had a Jamaal Adams trade happened between the Cowboys

[J12B]

Pretty sure Dallas would still be 2-5.

Maybe he helps us make a stop against the Rams and we could be 3-4.

But the team's outlook is headed directly south with all the injuries that have happened (and he's been out injured for a few games as well).

We'd be without our 1st round pick and another premium pick for 2022 (probably a 2nd rounder).

On top of that, the front office would still need to figure out how to pay him.

Guess we were lucky that the Seahawks gave up 2 first round picks to get him. And like I said when that trade happened, Seattle can take a gamble like that when they have Russell Wilson playing QB.

I, for one, am glad Dallas didn't get a trade done for Adams. Even though he is an exceptional Safety.

He was too expensive. In terms of dollars and draft picks.

The notion that Dallas was just a safety away was fairly popular not long ago.

 

[bewp7]

yikes is all i can say!

that is a thing i have no problem for jerry getting credit for! what a nightmare that would be!

 

[FiveSuperBowls]

Not sure that trade was ever considered.

 

[Mr_437]

That trade was way too expensive. Good move by the FO.

 

[WTtoolman]

It was a great non-trade by the Cowboys. Good job, Jerry/Stephen.

 

[JayFord]

This defense wouldnt be nearly as bad ....they wouldnt be elite but he would def upgrade us if we play him in the box

 

[MikeB80]

Now if only they would realize there is no reason in keeping Demarcus Lawrence, Jaylon Smith or Amari Cooper.

They should get as many draft picks as they can and eat the dead money since they won't be in the mix for another few years.

I wouldn't even play Lawrence tonight. I would be on the phone all night tonight and tomorrow creating a market for him and taking the best offer I could get.

 

[WoodysGirl]

Then he'd be another one of CZ's whipping boys..

Players on rookie deals get all the love.
Players w/second contracts become whipping boys.

It's the way of fandom..

The Cowboys can't afford to trade Lawrence. Literally.

If they trade him. a $50M+ cap hit is due. They'd have to get rid of a lot of players just to rid themselves of his contract.

True.

If they don’t perform they deserve to be whipping boys.

Is it that much? I thought it was much lower than that.

 

[zerofill]

We are a front office, and like 25 players away from being relevant again lol. Definitely not a safety away.

 

[WoodysGirl]

Thing is... their performance could be the equivalent of what earned them the 2nd contract and they'll still become whipping boys. I seent it.

But it is what it is.. We love them when they're on their rookie contracts. That 2nd contract is all it takes to basically earn fan's hate.

 

[TwistedL0g1k]

The notion that Dallas was just a safety away was fairly popular not long ago.

So True. There were literally people here that thought we should trade TWO first round picks for Earl Thomas!
-As if that was the golden ticket to the promised land....

 

[Havic]

Were not just a player away, were like 8. Safeties, LB's, DT's, O-Line

 

[Hardline]

Premium draft picks are gold in today's salary cap era.
I don't give them up for anyone.

 

[jaythecowboy]

They restructured his contract so they can afford to pay Dak his new contract next season.
