Mick always wants to horde players that could be valuable trade pieces by asking "And if player X goes down, who do you have to replace him?". Injuries happen in the NFL. This isn't college football where 4 and 5 star guys are waiting on the bench for their turn. We have enough talent at WR to trade Gallup. This is why this team is always in the position they are in, overvaluing mid tier guys and never willing to trade a valuable asset.

Dak is lucky he plays QB, as if he was a RB, WR, TE, CB, S, etc and suffered that injury I doubt he would still be in talks for wanting top dollar at his position and at the term he wants. IF he was a RB, I think he would be scrambling for any contract with guarantees.

He did make a good point about Dupree in that regard but at least ACL injuries are fairly common to come back at or near 100% these days..

Did you read about Reuben Foster's injury? He got nerve damage just like Jaylon.

Because that's how the team operates.

They get rid of players a year too late, never a year too soon.

Cap Cow: If Dak plays on the franchise tag, and assuming the salary cap at worst falling to an $180 million floor, his $37.7 million would consume 20.9 percent of the Cowboys cap. And to simply fund that and the draft, and absorbing like $9 million in dead money, the Cowboys would be hard pressed to improve the team much in free agency. Even by restructuring contracts for guys such as Tyron Smith, La'el Collins and Zack Martin, they would be reduced to bottom feeders in free agency


thank you Dak

I wish it were only ONE year too late...see Miles Austin.

Nope! Dave’s a Dwarf, and Mick’s a Gnome. The world’s tallest midget!

The signing of Lamb left us overinvested at WR. We've got two #1s and a #2. Cashing out Gallup is a way to rectify that still leaves us with tons of talent at WR, especially if we go back to a 2 WR base.
Jarwin is back, Cedrick Wilson and Dak seem to click pretty well, and I'd rather be making Pollard the 5th man in our base anyway, to give us more run/pass balance *and* deep speed.
It would be nice to keep Gallup, but we have huge holes elsewhere that are bigger issues than what might happen if Lamb and Cooper go down.

All facts. Spagnola is so annoying and that's one of his two go to lines he's been spewing for 15 years now. The other one is "if he's so good, why is he available?"
