Rapoport: Trade deadline, how active will Dallas be

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Just watching the pre show on DSPN and here them talking about the good D for the pats and colts and saying how did they do that and we haven’t had a good D since the early 2000’s.

 

[Aven8]

I look at the trade deadline as a head start on free agency, not so much to salvage this year’s defense.

And I’m fine with that for talent. Give me a Pickens for a 3rd type pick and let’s roll. But don’t give me a one year rental please

Fire sale…

Eagles see a weakness, they don't wait, they seem to attack it and have urgency. Meanwhile the smug delusional Jones boys sit on their hands waiting for teams to call us and kiss our mood ring as they kneel before king Jerry and prince Stevie. I kid around but it almost feels like that to me. They make me ill.

Good illustration. Spot on.

 

[Kingofholland]

I'm not expecting much, besides they really need an offseason to churn the defense and install whatever it is they're trying to do. I wouldn't use a 1st rounder at the trade deadline, but if there are day 3 picks they want to throw around for players likely here in 26 or get similiar comp pick value back I'm OK with that.

 

[SlammedZero]

Wonder what Dallas thinks they can get out of Mazi Smith? Can't be much. lol

 

[FiveSuperBowls]

Which team would be in play for a Mazi DT? Possibly for depth purposes.

Look at the Eagles getting CBs for depth.

 

[jazzcat22]

If you can trade GB's 1st rounder this year for a quality player that you can keep for at least 3 seasons, it'd be worth it. GB might reach the dang SB, so their pick will essentially be a 2nd rounder. It's very likely that if DAL kept that pick, they wouldn't be drafting a 1st round graded player.

Pick #31 or #32 is still a 1st round pick.
GB can make the playoffs and lose in the 1st round. Then the pick will be #19 to #22.

 

[jazzcat22]

Wonder what Dallas thinks they can get out of Mazi Smith? Can't be much. lol

A 6th or 7th most likely. Anything to add draft picks, and with the extra #1. An extra 6th or 7th will help them move around more.

 

[jazzcat22]

Will any inactive players Monday night be a clue as if one will be traded?

 

[MonsterD]

No one is trading for Mazi, he is like those broken stained and rotted furniture someone leaves by the curb hoping someone takes it of their hands.

 

[Cowboys93]

What a hilarious team

 

[blueblood70]

I predict no trade before the deadline. If Vegas had a line on that, I'd be looking at probably -180.

And you know what I think for the Cowboys that's probably the best thing people keep salivating over most of these trades and names have been brought up or not even on the trade block They would be level two tier two players anyway and those are not going to help..

I said keep all your draft picks and do this it's so easy the Cowboys are not going anywhere this year, you're getting a lot of players back by the Raiders game including a lot on defense..

Just go out on the bye week, means Tuesday morning, if you don't make a trade, and you don't find anything interesting,

you go to the free agent market you pick up a guy like Kendricka, Simmons, and Gilmore, or someone like that..

hell if you wanted a running back hell no on Tony Pollard, that is stupid ,you do not trade for a running back when you can have others still here on your team ie davis, Blue, mafah, who can play backup roles,

but there are lots of them on the free agent market guy like Foreman etc

I mean there's a whole lot of guys on the free agent market that may not be great but do you think maybe they can be great for eight games they can help this team at all you dip into the leftover free agent market, along with the guys you got coming back off IR, and, just roll with it...

That would be the best plan for this team is to go into the offseason with all your draft picks with your new comp picks you may even end up trading or franchise the tag George Pickens and getting a high draft pick for him and just roll in and have a great offseason and a great draft and just reboot..

Exactly. Only chance we trade him is for a 1 v 1 swap and toss in a pick

There are several factors influencing signings--injuries, etc.--but this kinda puts into perspective how GMs have been churning their rosters.

And once again most of them most of them have been low hanging fruit and didn't pay off lot of those Eagles trades a lot of those players never even seen the field and that they have they haven't done squat Let me tell you something if you think that's a great example of somehow you want to dog the Cowboys front office again how are the Saints the Cardinals And the Titans Hi on the list and are all really bad teams They're really bad teams so for every positive thing you tried to make from this what I take from that is it doesn't matter because most of the players they brought in the reason they were available because they weren't that good and it didn't help apparently it didn't help because the Saints Cardinals and Titans are still bad So it means this chart means nothing especially with the Chiefs and Rams being last..

So what are we talking about here those are really good teams and have done less packers chiefs Rams very bottom of the list not far from the Cowboys this list means nothing you just sold us a three course meal which consisted of lettuce lettuce and more lettuce..


This list is garbage it means nothing How about go back and list all the players and how much they've affected the teams then we can talk because that's going to take you an awful lot of work But I see nothing I see a bunch of bad teams at the top some really good teams at the bottom and a whole bunch of teams in the middle meaning this means nothing You just want to find a way to trash our front office and it's not working because this part doesn't add anything to the debate...

This list is garbage it means nothing

I do not think it is garbage. Can you explain in-depth why you disagree?

 

[5Stars]

Seriously, really, you want him to do that?

Well, get ready for a 1,385 word response, you asked for it!

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Hate one year and then they are gone.

 

[blueblood70]

Because it holds no validity there is nothing that stating that if you are one of the people that make a lot of moves then it works because it don't because you have a lot of teams up there that have worst records than the Cowboys And there's a lot of people at the very bottom that are playoff teams that chose to not make moves how hard is it to tell that when you look at that it means nothing it doesn't show anything there there's nothing that says whether you're making more moves or less moves that it's going to be a blueprint for success...


Can you not see it It's top heavy with mixed results a lot of bad teams at the top and a lot of really good teams at the very bottom You know how many bad moves the Eagles have made the Eagles are like this poster child for making moves for the sake of making moves and most of the players that they brought to their team have not even participated or made any kind of impact you say well at least they're making moves no they're making moves for no other reason but to make moves he loves making moves And by the way I'm starting to think he's the Jerry Jones of needing to see his name being mentioned as much as possible because he's making moves that are not even working...


That's what I've seen i've been looking at the Eagles these players they keep bringing in they're not very good and they're only hoping they can make them good and that's just an illusion and maybe they'll get lucky maybe they will get lucky but I don't care how many moves the Eagles made if all of them are just to make a move they're basically throwing cheese at the wall and hope it sticks...


But again I can't say this more it's open and shut there's just as many bad teams making a lot of moves as there is good teams making no moves that means the list is absolutely neutralized...
