That's not necessarily true about teams waiting for a guy to hit FA in his last contract year.
Revis was traded in his contract year. Now I am not saying Jones is Revis but only pointing out that players are traded in their contract year.
You won't get a first for him but I bet you might get a 2nd for him.
Fisher's track record is impeccable.
Maybe not, but how about Chad Forbes' track record, the guy who started this rumor? Is his Cowboys track record better or worse than Fisher's? I know what my first guess would be.
Lewis makes more sense. We didn't play him. He was a largely wasted asset last year. Only 20% of the snaps. And those idiotic jetsweep fakes for him.
Fisher is a mouthpiece for the organization. He spits out what the organization wants to say. And he's laughably wrong to the point that he's openly mocked here.
My gut says they have been quietly shopping those guys (it would be prudent to do so especially since it's been said Jones might be the odd guy out) and when it got out because some other team told Forbes, Dallas tried to tamp down any discussion so they went with one of their favorite PR pawns - Mike Fisher.
NEED another corner, YES. Silly trading one of them, NO. How you figure we can pay all these guys with mega contracts that they want? answer, WE WON'T,CAN'T....and I guarantee you its better to get a draft pick than nothing at all in return for them.If anything, we need another CB, trading them is just silly IMO.
Nope I just think we need a strong safety. I have no problems with this decision if it's trueIf anything, we need another CB, trading them is just silly IMO.
true..but the blasted salary cap is an issue. We have multiple big name players with expiring deals, so SOMEBODY has to go. Cannot pay them all. Its a sad reality in the NFL. Now if this was baseball..Jerry could just open his checkbook and sign everyone. NO CAP.I love how this franchise is finally getting their heads on straight. They should have treated Lawrence last season and not wait until the end. Obviously you want to keep him but you can't overpay. I totally love this philosophy. Especially in the backfield cornerbacks play their entire careers on Islands. It's not much of a transition as other positions.
Actually the guy Kris Richard. Loves was injured last season. We already have the replacement. I just don't recall his nameOr they have their eye on a guy they really like but need a higher pick to go draft him.
Lewis is the one I would keep easily. His ballhawking and coverage skills are better.He just doesn't have the height that Byron does.I don’t know why people are so eager to trade the best CB we’ve had in years for a 2nd round pick.
You have to love the good old days I'm old school football. The most money wins LOLtrue..but the blasted salary cap is an issue.
