That could be a big deal if he takes less money to come here. Could make the trade easier on both sides. He wants to be here. He’s from here. Well see what unfolds but like you said the compromise about money could be beneficial to getting the deal done

Win-win-win.

Compromise on all sides would greatly help a potential deal get done.

If you trade Gallup, who do you have if Coop or CD gets hurt? Who is the third receiver? At that point Dez would be better than anything you have on the roster. Would not trade Gallup.

I would be all over this situation if it was up to me. Everything just screams “do it” to me. He is from Dallas and wants to play here. Might take less money, although I doubt much less. Dallas has extra picks next year and if they follow the same formula as this year could still have a nice draft without a 1st round pick. He plays a position of great need, both now and for the future, and brings sorely needed leadership and big play potential. I would try a 1st plus their choice of Lewis, Williams, or Woods. Might even let them choose two. I’d go ahead and get Dak done on the 4 years he wants and make this trade happen and feel real good about my chances for a super bowl right up until they cancel the season.

If going to do it, let it be picks and no Gallup in it. Right now with the fire power on O, why make it easier for DC to game plan for you by trading him. If things workout the way you hope, you will be picking towards the bottom of the round in the next draft.

No way would I include Gallup. I honestly feel there is a good chance he will be Cooper’s replacement in 2 years. I would do the 1st and 3rd way before including Gallup. In fact, Gallup would have to negate the 1st round pick for me to even begin to think about it.

The big point of contention is that he wants to get an extension now after three years of play and in advance of his free agency in 2022.

I would be skeptical he would come off that stance if traded here.

I think the hometown discount would possibly come in the annual salary of whatever extension he would sign.

If I'm making the trade for Adams, I'm trying to get a long, long-term deal then done with him, as in 5-6 years-plus.
  1. Because he's a young, proven commodity
  2. Because I'm investing considerable draft capital in him
  3. Because he's from the area and wants to be here, likely for the remainder of his career

Not giving up Gallup. I'm looking to gets even better for 2020, not worse. And any idea if trading Gallup makes this team worse.

Deal breaker for me.

They can have the 3rd round pick, not the player.

Let's assume for arguments sake this is true..even though it might not be...

What's the difference if you have to pay him now or in 12 months to you?

It doesn’t matter what I or anyone else wants.

He wants to get paid (extended) now. That’s what matters.

It would be cool if he was alright coming here and waiting on an extension, but if his primary goal is to get paid now, which is the basis of all this, I can’t imagine him putting himself at risk playing another season being underpaid (in his mind).

OK. But my question is what is the difference to you if you have to pay him now or in 12 months?

Would you actually want to wait? To hand over all negotiating leverage to the player and agent after the fact?

To have them know that the team has to keep him and pay him whatever they ask for because of the draft capital they gave up to get him?

No. That's dumb. You negotiate the long term extension before you complete the trade.

You'll have to pay him more in 12 months. Much, much, much more.

I can't believe that everyone doesn't realize this already.

Do you think certain things have happened over the last year or two where people should realize this by now?

Lolol

It doesn’t matter to me much. Granted, I don’t pay close attention to the cap ramifications. Generally speaking, I think it would beneficial to get a “cheap” year out him but that may not be a possibility.

You’re doing yourself a disservice by waiting for an extension. All you’d be doing is costing yourself in contract terms via cap inflation and your losing flexibility by not using his rookie deal to average down his extension.

For example, he’s due about $13.5 million over the last 2 years of his rookie deal. He’s due $3.6 million this year and $9.86 on his 5th year option next year. Even if we disregard contract inflation, let’s look at the difference between signing him to a 4/$60m deal this year and next.

If you sign him this year, his 4 year extension adds to his remaining 2/$13.5 million for a total contract value of 6 years and $73.5 million, for a contract AAV of $12.25 million.

If you wait until next year, that same 4 year $60 million dollar extension in top of his 5th year option is a 5 year $69.86, or $13.97 million AAV. And that’s disregarding that extending him next year probably costs more in new money.

If you know you want a guy long term, it is in your best interest to sign him as soon as you can. We’ve already seen waiting hurt the Cowboys with Dak and Amari, so why do fans continuously insist on waiting on extensions, especially since Adams is much more a sure thing than Dak and Cooper.
