Not a chance. I expect the Jags would want a 1st rounder for him, and I doubt the Cowboys will accept 2 consecutive years without a 1st rounder, plus he has a big salary ($17.8 million this season), plus he will be an unrestricted free agent after the season.

With all of the money the Cowboys have tied up in contracts moving forward, he is one of the few players I would try to trade for and work out a long term deal with. He is an ascending player and is only 25 years old. But of course, I know the reality of this front office. :(

No thanks, this is an important draft moving forward. We got a 5th round comp pick for Beasley, in place of losing the 6th for Quinn. Which that, since losing him to the Bears will probably turn into a 3rd round comp pick (very nice trade off).
Anyway we have 7 picks, and MM and the FO has us in place to go truly BPA, as we need players at just about every position.
S, CB, DT, LB, tops the list for me. Some will say DE, OL, TE, WR. But for me those drop down the list over the 1st 4 I listed. But we are in a good spot right now and need those draft picks, and need to draft wisely of course.

Do you? None of us know it, some just think they know it. :laugh:

Many times the non moves this FO makes, works out better. Any many will not give credit for it.

Some seem to be indicating it's a 1st round. Which is why I responded to it.
So why so low if he is worth that, or is it a contract issue? A low 4th for what was it, $17 million going into his last year on it.

He's 25 and had at least 8 sacks all 4 years of his career. People just want entertainment in the draft. The Cowboys would be lucky to find this kind of pass rusher at 17. I'd do it in a second.

"People" include your Owner and General Manager

Ah, the path to success. Trading away cheap 5 year contracts for players asking for top market deals. That appears to be working out great for the Rams.
