Would you trade Zeke for Fletcher Cox?

[StarOfGlory]

Simple question. With so many people down on Zeke, would you trade him to a division rival for 4x all-pro, 1x all-NFL DT like Cox? We'd have to face him twice a year, maybe three times if both teams meet in the playoffs.

Pros: No more distraction, defense would be top three at worse, maybe #1 at best.
Cons: We have to play against him 2x's a year.

Lololol eagles will laugh in your face

After this season his cap hit jumps to almost 25 million.

 

[DogFace]

i wish we just drafted him.

our first to picks could have been cox & bobby wagner.

 

[brdawk20forever]

Eagles hang up the phone. And I like Zeke, he is the only Cowboy I worry about on game day.

 

[Sydla]

Absolutely.

The Eagles would think you were drunk.

You think Jerry wants Zeke getting 150+ yds on his own team?

With Fletcher Cox and Collins arc DT and our LBs, it would be a struggle for Elliott to get 100 yards.

Fun fact: most QB pressures PFF ever tracked at the DT position:

1. Aaron Donald 2018 - 113
2. Fletcher Cox 2018 - 101

And then PFF has him as a superior run stopper than pass rusher. Arguably the second best DT season ever wasn’t talked about because it happened the same year as the best.

Keep thinking that.

it's am interesting question.....which would impact the game more and give more value...zeke at 15mil or cox at 25?

id stick with zeke

This is incorrect. Cowboys original draft spot was #14, it took #39 to get #6. Cox went #12

Cox averages about 16 million in what you’d have to pay him as Philly has dolled out most of the bonuses.

 

[glimmerman]

No he is to old. And will want 17+ a year.

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

No he is to old.

He’s 1 year older than Demarcus Lawrence who you just paid all the money to. Was he too old too?

NO! not thats its bad deal for either team playing him and the eagles knowing they have to play Cox twice year makes it never in millions years going to happen..
