Twitter: Is this Jerry saying he'd certainly go after Ramsey?

I got to meet former Cowboy Mario Edwards who is now the Director of Player Personnel at Florida State. He's close to Ramsey. He said Ramsey 100% believed he was going to Dallas, a dream come true for him, and was hurt when the Cowboys took Zeke over him. The kid's obviously emotional, but I think that helps explain why he lashed out that he "would never play for the Jones".

Still, don't want him. I don't think Jason Garrett can handle players like him. Kris Richard would have to spend a lot of time maintaining him as well.
Jerry Jones had Deion Sanders. Jalen Ramsey would be no problem.

Also, once a Cowboy fan, always a Cowboys fan.

Also, you are getting more than a CB in Jalen Ramsey. During his three seasons in Tallahassee, Ramsey played cornerback, free safety and what the Seminoles call the star, which is a linebacker/defensive back hybrid. Regardless of where he played, Ramsey was very productive with 181 tackles, forced four fumbles, 22 pass breakups and three interceptions.

I would consider trading for Jalen Ramsey only if he stays more humble like after this game. :laugh:



One gets tired of a trash-talking big mouth. Don't think that type would mix in well with today's Cowboys and how it could affect the brotherhood and focus currently within the team?

The picks we’d give up and the contract he’d be asking for make the probability of JJ going after him at zero......point..........zero

I agree.... wed have to give up a 1, or multiple picks, plus..... did you see ramsey arrive at camp in abrinks truck? Id LOVE TO HAVE him, but no way in hell can we do it. Jones will cost us no picks, and less money than Ramsey will get...... even though Ramsey is better IMO.

We'll probably have to pay Jones 80% of what he's gonna get anyway

Imo Byron is overrated. He started to fold down the stretch and got picked on by Keenum Sunday.

honestly, we may not even be able to keep jones at whatever he is gonna command..... no way we could keep Ramsey. Byron is a solid person, no trouble, great teammate....... if we are keeping a corner or getting one.. Byron fit our situation better.... even though Id take Ramsey in a heartbeat at equal pay.

I do not disagree.... Byron is a perfect example of my hyposthesis of Cowboys players being way overated because they are on TV more than anyone else, and play with a star on the helmet. He is solid.... but in one year he became a "Shutdown," corner? really? He aint no Darrel Greene or Deion.

No, because Ramsey is not a "superman" type player that Jerry talked about. You might think so but Jerry obviously does not because he's not going after that guy.

Ramsey isn't a troublemaker he's just got a loud mouth. You can put up with that if he puts its over the top. And we have almost as much cap space as any team. I'd rather blow it all going for a super bowl than play it safe and get bounced in the first round of the playoffs

Ramsey is better than Byron Jones, but not so much better that it's worth giving up a 1st plus having to pay big money. Also he seems way too volatile.

Byron cannot shut down any team in the league's best player. Not even close.

Maybe it's just me but over the last few games last year and Sunday B Jones has been really suspect.

dont disagree... if the cap experts in Dallas can make it work... I would JUMP at the chance to get Ramsey. Who is a better corner in todays NFL?

Coach Richard and Richard Sherman! Coach Richard and Jalen Ramsey! Ramsey and Richard are a match made in heaven. Ramsey would be better than ever. He could guard the A.B.s and Julio Jones' Hopkins, Kelces' and Ertzs'of the world. Our defense would instantly become Elite. He would do for our defense what Cooper did for our offense. This guy is a superman and you'd have him for this season and next season. There is no player better in next years draft than Ramsey. He is an elite shutdown corner. You don't find those every day. B jones bats down balls but he doesn't try to take it. I'd trade a first and a fifth. The question Jerry has to ask is . How bad do you want this superbowl? If we get Ramsey and there are no more crazy trades we have the best team in the NFC with ramsey. Wed have Dlaw and quinn, LVE and Smith and B Jones and Ramsey and Awuzie. That's shutdown
