Doesn't matter why he hung on to him as probably no other team would've under the same circumstances, most fans are the same on any team, they love when they're yours and not when they leave.
Randy was a special case who got spe ial treatment here in Dallas, and I think they actually cared about him and wanted to him . There has been many reports from ex players and people I'm the know who says, Jerry genuinely care about his players.
"No other team would've" is where I disagree. 1st Round talent for cheap, you own his rights, he doesn't count toward the 53. Why would you not hold on in the hopes that you'll eventually get some return. Even if another team wouldn't have held on, another team or several would have given him a shot. That is truth. And that/those shots might have been better ones for him. Dallas afforded high visibility and the pros and cons that come with that but all the teams do their due diligence and he'd have had a market whether with us or without us. So to me, it's a "would be nice" but not a "should" situation. Business works better if you can take the emotion out of it. Fans and players both have trouble with that.
