Would you trade Zeke for Fletcher Cox?

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

ah...thanks

so close in salary....id probably still say zeke has the edge in impact

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

Just looked it up. Jumped the gun. I have just heard his name for so long I assumed he was older. But we can’t afford him. Making 17 a year. Elliot only wants 15. Do you guys want to pay Elliot 15 a year.

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

Maybe but not with an NFC east team.

No, but that doesn’t mean he’s not worth it. You need a dominant DT, we don’t need yet another RB (especially if we add Shady)

Keep thinking that.

LOL.

If you had Lawrence at DE with Cox and Collins at DT and then LVE and Smith at LBs............... that would be arguably the best run stopping front seven in football. Any TB would struggle with that.

Why would you add McCoy with Sanders and Howard? That seems like kind of overkill.

Because we can

Batman1980 · Aug 31, 2019

Fletcher Cox is the best DT in all of football, still upset that we drafted perennially disappointing Morris Claiborne over him.

Creeper · Aug 31, 2019

I don't think the Eagles would make any deal for Zeke because I doubt they would pay him what he is asking either.

People here are assessing Zeke like he is water compared to Brawndo in Idiocracy. Especially considering that Dallas is not a pass focused offense.

Come on you need Elliot. Just give him that contract. It worked out well with murray..

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.

Why would Dallas trade their best offensive player for a defender we don't need? Might as well pay Zeke, it wouldn't cost nearly as much.

What would you do with Fletcher's contract? He's an 11 million dollar cap hit this year and over 20 million every year after that. There is some bonus money Dallas wouldn't take on, but not much. It's a huge contract.

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

Yeah you're right.

No because Cox was not the player last year he had been in the past money went to his head !!

Iago33 · Aug 31, 2019

The fact that the answer isn’t obvious to everyone in the thread shows that people don’t really pay attention to what actually wins NFL games today. I think Cowboys fans are slow to accept the reality of today’s NFL because we won Superbowls two 25 years ago with the all-time leading rusher.

Oh wow.
Good thing you don't have any say in the roster decisions

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

Collins hasnt showed up in 3 years

The man was plagued with a foot injury.

Don't flatter yourself. Cox is ready to go. With him back in the line-up, the Eagles will enter the season with the best defensive tackle rotation in the NFL.

Would you trade Zeke for Fletcher Cox?
