Twitter: Jamal Adams trade rumors back on for the off-season

[Loso86]

The money's fine, I don't worry about money. It's the cost in draft picks that's in question to me.

A first and a 3rd next draft is what was floating around. If were targeting a safety then it's worth it but I get what your saying I wouldn't do 2 first's

I wouldn't do a first and third, not in the same draft. I would have been willing to go there before the trade deadline because we thought maybe a safety would put us over the top. Now, it doesn't look like we're close to a safety away. I'd give them a pick in 2020 and a pick in 2021. Maybe a first and conditional second that could fall to a fourth.

I dont care about picks. We need a self motivated DOG in the secondary.

I don't mind losing a first for him next year because I don't think we could draft an equivalent talent. I mind losing more than that because we need more than one self-motivated DOG.

Why exactly would you trade a 1st in the offseason before the draft for a player to have under contract for at most 2 years, assuming he doesn't hold out the 5th year option, when you can draft one and have them under contract for 4 or 5. Based on his draft positioning Adam's has practically been a bust. If you want to throw out a big contract you can out bid the Saints for Von Bell, and be getting the same in the box safety for less money and still have you're 1st round pick! I'd rather wait a year and get Marcus Williams anyway. Sorry, I think the attempt to trade for Adams was a desperation move by Jerry thinking he had a SB contender... that ship has sailed!

I’m not saying he wouldn’t be an improvement...

But two career interceptions. He isn’t going to fix the lack of turnovers created by the secondary. And it’s going to cost an arm and leg in draft picks and salary cap allocation.

I've watched Adams since he was in HS, and knew he was ridiculous back then, but with I think DAL would be better served using those resources to build the middle of this defense.

 

[kumizi]

let's figure out who the next defensive coordinator is first and what he thinks

 

[cowboyec]

Id take him here.

 

[slick325]

Sigh...they had their chance but the guy I wanted is gonna win his 2nd chip with the Ravens this season.

yikes ! ..., that sounds like Mike Ditka - Rickey Williams thinking all over again ...

 

[jwitten82]

He been in the league 3 seasonsand has 2 career interceptions. I doubt he'll come to dallas and be the ball hawk we need.

Yea I wouldn't either I was meaning a first next year and a 2nd or 3rd the following draft not in the same one lol

 

[coult44]

Still going to be asking too much.

We can keep doing business the LOSING way by having a team full of scrubs

 

[xwalker]

If we could sign him as a free agent, sure. Signing him for top dollar and trading a first-plus for him is too much.

How about just drafting a Safety...

 

[Beast_from_East]

LMAO...……...we offered our 1st and they said no, they though it was going to be a trash pick, like 28, 29.

Turns out that pick might be top 10!!!

Jets want a do over.

I care about picks, but I agree with your contention that we need as you put it a “motivated DOG in the secondary.”

I’ve been saying for a while that our secondary group has no leader or identity. Guys like Byron Jones or Xavier Woods certainly aren’t filling that role.

Best strong safety in the NFL.

Only to come to the Cowboys and deteriorate before your eyes with the country club attitude by committee

 

[jay94]

Fake story alert. This isn't happening. Were not gonna give away our first for a player on a contract year, when half our cap is going to go to sign 2 players.

Urban Meyer is going to whip these losers into shape.

Oh God. This place is going to be a zoo.
