Trade Discussion rumors: Earl Thomas to Cowboys

[Xelda]

If we can expect this mob mentality through out the draft, we're in for a very long draft.

 

[Idgit]

You have to power!! Do it, do it! Ala, Zoolander!!!

I have immense power, but I'm a beneficent overlord. I don't want you guys seeing me banning fools and then getting stressed out that you might be next.

Though, seriously, you might be next. Watch your back.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Right? This is supposed to be Christmas for grown men. Now is the time to be joyful.

Right, we can all cry, start the tree on fire, run up to our rooms, after we realize we drafted the Action Force British Marine figure instead of the GI Joe with the Kung ** Grip!

 

[Verdict]

Usually things start out with a rumor and are later confirmed. I'm not sure why everyone gets their panties all in a bunch as long as someone says they are hearing a rumor and not just spewing knowingly false info.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Ban this guy.

Always that one guy bringing the 20 pack Bic lighters to start the torches in every crowed....

 

[Reality]

If the Cowboys make this trade, the smart play would be to trade down from #19 to get another team's lower first round and second round pick. That way, it would be a few spots rather than picks traded for a starting safety.

 

[RodeoJake]

Ban this guy.

But, but, but, we won't be getting anymore earth is flat news if that happens

 

[AsthmaField]

The link says the Seahawks would accept that. It was never said we offered that.

One’s logic would have to be somewhat less than stellar not to recognize that.

Here at the zone, we accept all fans though!

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

LMAO at the march on the castle with pitchforks, torches and scythes and that last one would be my choice. The poster just signed in and put that up, think he cares about getting banned?

Y'all need to back off and cool down, you are just wound too tight and overreacting.

Source? Source? Source ? Source? Source? Source? LMAO, this is too funny. Ban him! Ban him for life! Ban him, kill him, resurrect him and ban him again!

 

[Idgit]

I’m just saying... if I would have started this thread with that Initial post, I would expect to be banned.

To be fair, that is in large part because all of the mods are super jealous of me though. Particularly Idgit. Super duper jealous.

I am a little jealous, yeah.

if someone wants up to 19 they can just go to 18 and give seattle the picks directly. Then seattle keeps thomas and gains picks.

This is just a bad setup for Dallas. Seattle is the one compromised but in a few hours I have a bad feeling this front office is going to blow it yet again chasing a defensive player.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Beer break!!!! Group chug!

OK, now everybody, I want you to get out your Big Chief Tablets and your Number 2 pencils. Here is a guy who has been to a Rodeo or two.........

People get so out of whack asking a moderator to put them in a safe zone. You guys do a very good job. People just need to stop being so sensitive.

 

[Bigdog]

Pick 50 is too much and I am an ET fan. Sweet spot of this draft is 20-60.

Agree

 

[OmerV]

Many times rumors are proven false too. I think the uproar is because the OP didn't call it a rumor. He presented it as fact.

Agreed. It would be IDIOTIC to give up a second or a third and pay Thomas. A second and the team literally got "violated".

 

[Flamma]

I saw something similar to what the OP said, but it didn't say they came to an agreement. Just that the 'boys were holding off until they find out if they can sign him long term. It's just pure speculation.

Now I want to ban you for kissing my ***.

I won't, because I'm beneficent. But I want to.

 

[KJJ]

With this draft being in Dallas and after cutting Dez you know the Cowboys want to make a big splash so If this trade goes down it won’t surprise me. Just hope it’s not for our number two.

I don't think you understood what I was saying. I'm saying *IF* the trade with Seattle is completed (meaning AFTER), the the smart play would be for the Cowboys to trade down from #19 and pick up the other team's lower first round pick and second round pick. That way, the net cost of the two trades would be a few spots traded for a starting safety.

Of course any lower pick team could trade with any higher pick team, but many higher pick teams would not want to make that trade. For the Cowboys, they could view it as they just got a starting safety so it would be more worthwhile for them.
