TRADED Porter traded to Cowboys (2027/6th round, 2028/2nd round)

[ratkinson]

It’s astounding to read the difference in reaction to this trade from Cowboys fans on Twitter compared to yall on this message board. Yall some of the most miserable people on this board, it’s disgusting

I'll take that comparison as a compliment.

Jerry Jones is coming to terms with mortality, and he doesn't care if he leaves Stephen in a totally destitute situation both cap and draft-wise.

He sees 2026 and 2027 as his final shots at a non-Johnson championship.

If he has to go down, he's taking the entire franchise with him. The future means nothing to him.

I mean the Rams did it to win a superbowl…

Jerrah will do Jerrah things, enjoy the ride folks!

i take everyones word that this was a great trade especially considering just the need and also injuries. So its excellent news!!

But im also not overlooking the sheer brilliance of Jerry Jones, either. He could hear and feel the negativity surrounding his team after the debacle in Brazil. Three days later he brings in a shiny new toy and has reeled most of us right back in . He tugs on our strings and makes us focus on what he wants us to focus on. The man is a modern day PT Barnum- and i mean that as a huge compliment. Its why he's a billionaire and I shop at Aldi's.

%$@^#%!!!!

@Reality we no longer need a Draft Zone.

THE COWBOYS never hit on second round picks anyways lol good trade

 

[Coogiguy03]

Anything more than Schoonmaker and a 6th and I get in my muay thai stance.

I bet ya a beer we gave up a 2028 2nd and something else.

And here's the thing. You have to pay him now. Pay him big too. Meaning say goodbye to any chance of keeping Pickens.

 

[NDGAEDE]

We need help so I can't complain. But I am worried that we've collected man corners for a zone defense. And that it may be a bit of a desperation move.

Too funny

I may be out on Khan at this point. Picken and Porter have been our most promising draft picks of late and both get shipped off to the Cowboys in their prime for mid to late 2nds

Lmao took forever for them to draft another good CB since Ike. Now we’re back in the same boat. No WR1 and now no CB1, both traded to the damn cowboys out of all teams lol

We FINALLY get a #1 CB, top 10 no question in the league, and piss him off and then just jettison him mid season...and not only get just a 2nd rounder...but a 2nd rounder in the WRONG YEAR.

What is the deal with you guys sending players to the cowboys? Aren't we supposed to be neighbors?
-eagles fan

If we just traded him for a 2nd and some fluff I’ll be pissed. We took him 33rd and he’s been great, no way in hell the return should just be a middle of the round 2nd
-permacleaned

I just... Like why is this the player you don't want to sign? You hit a homerun with an early second and you let him go? I just really don't understand this process
-maplevenom7

I feel physically ill. Worst move of Omar’s tenure as GM
-unwanted_opinion

Like GP all over again. He’s gonna ball out, we aren’t getting even close to fair compensation for him and we will look stupid yet again. I will never understand the Omar Khan glaze from some Steelers fans, between GP and now JPJ this is downright football terrorism.

I hope we actually got a good return

6th rounder and a 2028 2nd.
Highway robbery. How did we get so screwed on this.
- upstairsfood

Trading a young lockdown homegrown corner who is the son of a Steelers legend just feels so wrong.
- Mrastronimically

What an absolute waste. Such talent, such a perfect story coming to the Steelers, then suddenly completely up in flames. Completely unacceptable for the Steelers to have bombed this situation so badly.
- Lembasi

I don't like this.
He's played 1,467 consecutive coverage snaps without allowing a touchdown, making his streak the absolute longest by any cornerback in the Next Gen Stats era. The only TD ever thrown on him was his rookie year.
-lance

Hold on - you mean to say we haven’t had a lockdown corner since Ike, we drafted JPJ and he’s a home grown legacy talent, and we just refuse to pay him? Doomed for mediocrity until Rooney sells the team
-awildblitz

If you sincerely hate this team or think it's stupid, then by all means, go be a Cowboys fan.

This would be the dumbest move ever. If they think they are a SB contender because of this move, if that’s all they gave up a second for, was a chance to go THIS year….Jerry will need to officially be diagnosed with dementia.

You do realize if he doesn’t resign and gets a FA deal elsewhere we will get a 3rd round comp pick back right?

 

[Mitch]

I don’t believe that. Before they do this they franchise tag him, because we’re in a two to three season window trying to win. It’s not all-in this year, not with this inexperienced coaching staff and defense.

And the numbers are screwed, it’s not 20 spots - more like 45. Compensation picks are at the very end of each round and we’d probably be picking somewhere at around position 20 in each round if we have a good next season.

 

[Einstein]

This place kills me... just yesterday I read fans complaining that we were going to lose Porter to the giants. Now we get him and it's *** are we doing?

 

[darthseinfeld]

I don’t know why people are acting like we can’t make more moves. We aren’t one player away. So we NEED to make more moves.

Im gonna put his stats out in a thread a little later. They are quite good. The biggest concern with him is that he had an atrocious 2024 penalties wise, but he really cleaned it it up last year

Yup… but we suck at 2nd round picks so it’s addition by subtraction ha

Welcome to CowboysZone

 

[Hadenough]

It always seems these type of trades are so hyped up. In the end you barely see any difference in the product out on the field. Let’s hope Mr Porter can elevate this secondary.

 

[DCwarrior]

Considering how we waste 2nd round picks, it’s not a bad move.

 

[Hadenough]

Everyone is happy except Pickens. There goes his gravy train contract.

 

[charron]

Awesome. Dallas isn't drafting better than PRJR with a second round pick anyway.

 

[Hadenough]

Considering how we waste 2nd round picks, it’s not a bad move.

Excellent point! I forgot about all the Jerry 2nd rounders that are busts.

 

[NDGAEDE]

Am I missing something? He held out because they wouldn't give him a contract. We won't give him one either. So will he even play?

 

[Risen Star]

Unstoppable.
