We need to pull the trigger on this trade and get a real rough rider to anchor this defense, Idc what the cost is

You don't care what the cost is?

Adams himself is demanding $15M+ per year.

The Jets are demanding #1 and #3 draft picks.

Put another way- the cost would be a CeeDee Lamb (#1), a Neville Gallimore (#3), plus the quality FA talent $15M could bring in (or retain).

Think about what that $15M can buy:

Gerald McCoy cost $6.1M. You can get two of him, and still have enough left over for a Clinton-Dix, Dalton, or Zuerlein


That is a high cost.

There is absolutely NO way Adams is worth more than all of that.

Both the Jets and Jamaal Adams have been wildly excessive in their demands all along.

It's just inconceivable that the Cowboys FO would consider dealing with them yet again.

I can't help but believe that Jerry and Stephen are foolishly hoping they'll be reasonable.

Or he could be Taco and Hill. There is no way to know as we sit here today, that a high quality player will be available with any picks traded or that Dallas will pick the right player. What we would know for sure is that we would have a damn good leader and player to add to the defense. Yes, the price is high but he just might be the missing piece.

When did they play in the NBA and was 35 plus years old?

Is the money coming out of your pocket? You naming a bunch of “guys”. None of them are top 2 at their position in the league.

Robinson also reports that despite that stance, the Jets have not granted Adams' agent permission to facilitate a move. The Jets continue to claim they have "no plans" to deal their disgruntled young defensive back, but Adams is still steamed about last fall's trade attempts. This well may be too poisoned. An easy solution would be to give Adams his desired extension, but Robinson reports Gang Green is adamant that he wait until next offseason. Adams wants to do anything but. Robinson reports the Cowboys have yet to circle back since last year's failed talks. This drama isn't over.

Well, you should care. Overpaying to acquire a safety, then giving him a big contract, isn't the golden key to a Super Bowl.

If the Jets are willing to trade him for a 2nd round pick I'll consider it. But I've read stupid stuff like a 1st round pick and Gallup, which would be a sucker trade for Dallas.

Trade Gallup and a 2nd Round pick. Sign Dez. Make Lamb wear #10.

Take it FWIW, Fish is not equivocating.

Do not trade Gallup, this is a position of strength. Why weakend that position just give picks then.

The fact that you think a 24 year old two time all-pro is only worth a second round pick speaks volumes.

1st and a 3rd is a lot, but I can live with it. 1st and Gallup?? Hellz no!!

I suspect the conjecture over the Cowboys still being intensely interested in Jamaal Adams is little more than clickbait media activity. The Jets are not now and never were seriously intending to trade him. This, despite any rumors to the contrary. Their asking price is an obvious indication of that fact.

A lot of people have various opinions on this but in reality, the Cowboys could or could not be interested. It is by no means, advantageous for them to admit they are interested. We do know that they were recently interested.

The Jets could or could not be interested in trading him. They may be exploring the reality that he is unhappy there and they will need to try to recoup some value for him. Again, not advantageous for the Jets to admit they want to get rid of him.

There have also been several indications that Jamal would be interested in and possibly prefers the Cowboys.

As far as the media and all of the NFL insiders, it could be they are hearing things from their sources OR it could be they know linking any player to Dallas equals clicks.

All this back and forth is me saying I have no clue what's real. That means most everyone here doesn't know either and most are speculating with their personal bias.

I hope we are inquiring and I hope the Jets have come down off their ridiculously high asking price.

Jamal Adams is an extremely good football player, and not only fills a position of weakness for the Cowboys, he adds much needed leadership on that side of the ball. These guys should be embarrassed that Michael Bennett, a 34-year old journeyman at this point of his career, was an instant leader of he defense when he arrived here Week 7. This defense would receive a huge boost if the team acquired Adams. According to Vegas odds, the Cowboys are the 4th best team in the NFC. I would bet they would jump to 2nd (odds-wise) the moment they acquired Adams.

Dont we get a 3rd comp pick for Byron? If so we essentially would just be giving up a 1 then. Git er dunnnn Jerrah

I don’t like trading a first for a player who you have to give an immediate fat contract to...although Amari was worth it...
My question if we did trade for him, what do we do with Haha? Clearly the new staff likes him a lot and have history together.

I think with another 1,000 yard season, it could be possible to get a first rounder for Gallup if they shopped him

It's not about what Jamal Adams is worth in a vacuum. It is about what he is worth to the Cowboys. For a team that doesn't draft well and has a ton of cap space, Adams could very well be worth a 1st (or even a 1st and a 3rd) depending on what else they have on the roster. The Cowboys need those 1st round picks to give starter production for cheap. Trading a 1st round pick and then paying a record contract is basically paying twice. You pay in draft capital and you pay again when you pay the contract.
