Jerry offered Micah and a 1st for Quinnen Williams

[pansophy]

So that means the Jets said no to Micah and a 1st but then a couple of months later accepted a 1st, a 2nd and Mazi Smith.

The Jets saw more value in a 2nd and Mazi over Micah.

Make it make sense all the way around.

Cash required to pay Micah is the only thing I can think of.

 

[Denim Chicken]

It true, he's saved from himself yet again.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

So Jerry is either misremembering and he wanted a first and Q for Micah.

Or Jerry is an idiot for offering that.

Either way he is also senile.

Or he’s lying lol.

 

[Vinnie2u]

I don't believe it. Jerry ain't no Al Davis

 

[Risen Star]

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on @1053thefan on Micah Parsons: "Micah is very impactful, but we really hadn't won with Micah. No because of Micah. We just hadn't won because (the opponent) was able to work around us having Micah. They ran right at him or they basically threw the ball quicker. Those are simplistic things. And there was no question that if we could replace him with four or five top players, (George) Pickens type players ... that was all in the thinking with Micah Parsons."

It was also reported the Jets did not have the money to pay Micha.

 

[gimmesix]

If that's true and there was nothing else involved, add this to the list of reasons he's a colossal idiot.

Agreed. A straight-up trade would have been welcomed, but not Micah and a first. Getting Quinnen and Clark for Micah is a much better deal. But it goes to show that we only luck into that kind of deal. If Jerry had it his way, Quinnen would be here for Micah and a first.

 

[Reid1boys]

why some of you insist on talkin gabout that guy still is beyond me. Good riddance 46 million dollar whiner. Glad he is gone and will be damn happy with that 1st rd pick next year and the current defense up front.

Jerry is a liar. He probably wanted a first and Quinnen.

I don't think there was that much thinking with Micah. I think all that came AFTER Micah and his agent made Jerry mad. Then, they had to rationalize dealing him.

However, I don't really care if that is the case since we ended up with Clark and Quinnen. Most of us have been lamenting the DT positions since Parcells left.

 

[Rockport]

You’re always looking for dirt on the Cowboys. Especially after a big win. Why?

 

[Scottishcowboy]

Total list of players I would trade Micah and a 1st for.

Mahomes
Allen
Burrow

End of list.

Nahshon Wright surely makes the list?

Micah is dominating for GB right now. Jerry is an absolute moron.

Trading for Pickens, Clark, and Q. Williams puts this team in very good position for the rest of this year and next year.

We don't really have an extra first-round pick anymore. We have a first for a second, which is better obviously than just having a second. Considering we'll have the lower of our two first-rounders next year (since the Jets get the better one), the picks pretty much cancel out. We got Clark and Quinnen for Micah.

 

[Kwyn]

Jeez, this is the moron in charge

Not that I believe it for a second.

I wonder if the Jets will respond. They are rebuilding and a colossal miss like this makes their front office look like idiots.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

Guys, Jerry just talks. That’s all.

 

[Acceptablename]

Personally I kept that too myself

 

[Kwyn]

Would've been a good trade.

Both great players, but the DT position affects more on D than an edge rusher.

Dude.

Trading for Pickens, Clark, and Q. Williams puts this team in very good position for the rest of this year and next year.

It also shows what it takes to get that quality of player. Trading sixth-round picks for players like Murray and Elam are rarely going to help the team. I mean, I don't mind taking a shot but the plan for roster-building has to be more than that if you're going to contend. Since we don't use free agency except to add cheap pieces (which you have to do to some extent), I'm all for trading premium picks (first three rounds) for proven players.

 

[Risen Star]

A year from now.

We actually considered cutting Micah and putting him on the practice squad.
