Supposedly Byron Jones and Jourdan Lewis have been made available for trades

[darthseinfeld]

Lewis really doesnt get alot of snaps and is still a commodity. He doesnt fit what Richard wants from a CB

 

[darthseinfeld]

So far Chad Forbes is out there by himself without any cosigner's from Dallas media, so I guess it's fantasy for the moment.

Supposedly we shopped Lewis last year

 

[JBell]

No blue checkmark. But I'm on board with this.

I trust in Richard's ability to find us a 6'2" starter on Day 2/3.

 

[BigCatMonaco]

This is dumb. Hard to believe the Cowboys would consider wanting to trade either one of these players who are young and can play DB very well. I would rather trade D-Law and his constantly injured, aging body and greedily demanding $22.5 mil/season self, than the much younger and cheaper to keep Byron Jones and Jourdan Lewis.

He played the last 32 consecutive games.

 

[75boyz]

I can't understand the "hate" for Lewis. If he gets traded, he's going to end up being a stud for someone else.
He just has playmaking ability you can't teach.

I agree.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Damn, Jones doesn't suprise me with his contract being up soon and his value at an all time high. I am suprised by Lewis though. They must believe in Anthony Brown?

Or, there are CBs they really like in the draft.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

I wonder who it is. The two I am thinking of are first round guys.

Hopefully, Dexter Lawrence is who they've got in mind. They can get a decent to very good CB in round 4. Dexter changes this defence in a huge way.

 

[J12B]

If we can get an early 2nd rounder for Byron Jones, pull the trigger

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Trade Byron. Get a first back and grab some more dline. Or a safety

Dexter Lawrence and Zach Allen mean that you get pass rush from the interior and outside in a powerful way. Thus, the QB can't throw the ball making the CBs job easier. If Lawrence gets traded too, maybe we can really haul our defence.

Byron Jones aint getting extended...………..they are not paying a boat load of cash to a CB that didnt have a single pick last season.

Best to trade him now before he walks in free agency next season.

 

[DasSchnitzel]

I'm 100% on board with trading Lewis. He had the 4th most snaps at CB last year and he was way behind Brown in 3rd place.

We wont get a good comp pick for him. We're not using him. He's got enough upside to be worth something to teams that would use him. He's affordable. Perfect trade candidate.

I dont know about Byron Jones. He's under contract for another year and was a NFL top CB for most of last year. He had the most snaps at CB. That's not going to be easy to replace.

 

[Beaker42]

Same here. I do suspect he likes Justin Layne from Michigan State a 6-3 corner.

If it’s Layne in the first I will burn all my ‘boys ****. Better be Hooker.

Supposedly we shopped Lewis last year

I know

 

[EMMITTnROY]

Man, so many fans want to trade away Tank and Byron for second round picks. Gimme a break.

They're two elite players and both big reasons why we had one of the top defenses last year. Giving up elite players for unproven second round rookies is going backwards, not forwards. You pay and build around those guys if you want to win, not trade them away for picks.

I have 1 million dollars for you.

The problem is that I'm stuck in Nigeria and can't assess my money or friends and family.

If you wire 25K to me, I'll pay you the 1 million when I get back home to the US.

 

[beware_d-ware]

Lewis I can see. He's a dime corner at best here and is worth more to a zone team than he is to us.

Byron... I really don't. Dude looks like a stud CB, and he's very, very low risk. 4 totally healthy seasons in a row, 26 years old, elite athleticism, good technique, one of the smartest guys on the team, ambitious off the field, zero character issues.... I'd give him 5 years $75M tomorrow. And I bet you he'd live up to every cent of it.

Inb4 "he's not elite! he doesn't get picks!" He pretty much took Odell Beckham out of the game when we played the Giants... how much do you figure a defender who can erase an $18M receiver is worth?

HAHA

If they really are considering trading Byron Jones I would consider that a good sign. It means they have looked into the future for the first time and decided to get something for a quality player they know they won't be able to keep rather than letting him walk. If they trade Jourdan Lewis then at least they get something for the guy they refuse to use because he doesn't fit the mold that Richard likes.

The problem is dlaw wants 22.5 mil per. Dak thinks he deserves a ton. Zeke is going to want be the highest paid back in the league. They have to sign Cooper otherwise they wasted a 1st rd pick. There is no way they are going to let Jaylon go. They may have looked ahead and said better to trade Jones while we can than let him go in a year for nothing.

Yeah, that is the only way I could see it happening. Stephen and co probably did the math and figured this is the only way we could balance the books.

He played the last 32 consecutive games.

Maybe he was in the game, but he disappeared ALOT...
