some do not want to hear it (nor do I) but Tank could very well be traded. We have no 1st rounder, we get a shot at 2 1st rounders for him he could be gone.
Are they going to cure bipolar disorder while they're at it?I'm not worried, the league will approve the use of medical marijuana and we will re-sign David Irving who will then play all 16 plus games
Tank isn’t going anywhere but if we got two firsts then ok, that is cool.. Doubt it though...
Considering he had only had one distinguished season out of 4, I understood why they wanted to wait.The Cowboys were dumb not to get him extended before last season.
Wait...
Isn’t it against the collective bargaining agreement rules to franchise a player just to trade him?
That a way of blocking a free agent from choosing his destination and getting what the open market will give him.
When you have a guy in the building every day for a number of years, there should be enough info on him to determine whether or not he is a keeper. Throughout the 2017 season, analysts raved about his abilities as a complete DE and his motor. It finally clicked for DLaw that year. They should have traded him last year if they were not sold on him as their top DL. The franchise tag is good for some situations, not for guys you intend to keep.Considering he had only had one distinguished season out of 4, I understood why they wanted to wait.

We would have to sign Tank in order to trade him.What do you think the team will do in Tanks absence?
Options?
1. Play Gregory and Crawford at DE.
2. Play Gregory and Armstrong
3. Play Gregory and Taco.
4. Play Gregory and a free agent or draft pick.
While this may not sound appealing to some, Crawford isn't a bad DE, and you have to realize Tank took time to develop. There is a reasonable expectation that Armstrong or Taco may improve substantially this year.
I think Taco is weak as a pass rusher but is good at stopping the run. How much is the 5 or 6 sack difference worth?
Or franchise him, but the trade value is much lower for a player who is only locked up for one year.We would have to sign Tank in order to trade him.
We will sign him or tag him. If Irving had got himself straightened out and played well with Gregory then maybe he is more expendable. But not now.

We wouldn’t even get one first for him.
We’re keeping him
