Why the Deebo request has me nervous

[RustyBourneHorse]

I feel dirty about having this thought. I expressed this in another thread as sort of rambling about who Deebo would make sense to be traded to by SFO. My thought was that the Eagles were in play for this trade. This struck a nerve with my mind as I realised just how realistic this is and what this means for the Cowboys.

The NFC East is weak. We are the only team in this division right now that shows much of a threat. As it stands now, the Eagles have no WRs, but a top notch WR along with their picks would make them dangerous next year. They have the ammo (see the next point) to make this happen. The Giants have another 1st courtesy of the deal the Bears made for Fields. However, their secondary sucks, their oline sucks, and they have a ton of other weaknesses that makes this irrelevant. The Commanders are not a threat by any means.

They have 2 first round picks this year and 2 first picks next year. Their main needs are WR and oline. I don't think they keep Hurts this year. WR is probably their biggest need. Also, they have Howie Roseman. I am thinking the Eagles will trade both 1sts this year or one 1st this year and one next year for Deebo. Then, next year, they make a move for a QB when the class is better. This has all the hallmarks of an Eagles move in my view, and it'd put the division into a two team race this year and next.

What the Cowboys should do if this happens:
Firstly, the oline needs help, so that should be addressed. Secondly, we need to bolster the Dline, especially 1T. This will push the pocket and give the QB nightmares. Essentially, this builds up the defencive trench which helps the DBs that'd be tasked with covering Deebo. Thirdly, the Cowboys need to get another CB. We don't know what's going to happen with Kelvin Joseph with his situation, and I'm not sure Brown stays beyond this year. As such, we need another CB on the other side of Diggs.

It would serve Chuckles and Booger right if the Eagles did land Debo....their plan all along is to take ZERO risk, win a horrific East and then roll the dice in the playoffs with one guaranteed home game.

He’s not going anywhere

I’m just hoping Jonestown doesn’t do more Joey Galloway Amari Cooper flinging 1’s out the door with cap busting contracts to lure Samuels to Dallas .

They could trade for Deebo, but I wouldn't say they have nothing at WR. Devonte Smith had a very good rookie year, he was just overshadowed by Chase and Waddle. Watkins showed alot of promises last year too. Both those guys may have put up much better stats with someone other than Hurts throwing to them.

@Aerolithe_Lion they spent a 2nd and two 1st on WR's the last three years. However they were rumored to be interested in Ridley. Do you see them being aggressive with WR? Or will they try to make it work with Smith at Watkins?

I'd be worried about the Commanders landing Deebo. I don't know what kind of draft capital they can give but IMO the Commanders are the only threat to us in the division. They gave us a hard game in RFK and they did beat the Bucs. They have the defense to be scary and if Wentz stays healthy they can generate some offense. If they got Debo that would not be good. If the Eagles got him then that would be a problem as well. I don't think Dallas is going to cruise through the division like we did last year.

 

[sunalsorises]

Even if the Eagles get him they still need a QB

 

[Risen Star]

Final offer: Micah, our 1st and 2nd but we get a 4th back.

I don't think Washington has the capital that Philly has, and with Philly having 4 1st round picks in the next 2 years, they could easily get Deebo and a QB.

What the Cowboys should do if this happens:

What the Cowboys need to do is simple.

Fixed the team and they will still win the East then figure out how to win in January.

Screw the E-gals and G-men.

I forgot about Smith. Yikes, that'd make things worse if they did that.

I agree. We need the oline fixed and fixing the Dline will be helpful too.

He’s not going anywhere

This is what I've been hearing as well

I'd agree as well, but, if he did leave, this is where I think he'd go.

 

[ICP]

I pretty much stopped worrying about what other teams do since I already know that my team most likely isn't going anywhere

Ok yeah, that's scary.

Maybe, I think his skillset very much fits our run heavy offense. However, trading a 1st round pick and then dumping 25m$ a year into what is essentially a 1-hit wonder at WR is not my favorite idea. Even if we traded for Samuel, Smith and Goedert would probably be our featured targets. We'll add a WR definitely, but a subsidiary player. Devante Parker would have made a lot of sense, as did Ridley.

Plus we were the team you outbid for Cooper. Howie is inclined to make the position a strength, so you never know what he'll do next.

The original poster thinks if Philly , who has no quarterback, can add deebo will be a threat in the nfc east? Lolololol. Not too bright.

SF made it to the NFCCG with Garropolo due to Samuel, who many here seem to think isnt much better than Hurts, so you never know.

You didn't read the whole OP. I didn't say alone. I said if the Eagles trade for him AND take a QB next year with the other first. As in, next year would be the really scary year with them. Next time read the whole OP.
