Jets asking price for Adams is one 1st and two 2nd rounders

Too bad Dexter Coakley retired.

No you always ask for more than you expect. They probably expected a 1 and a 2, which we didn't offer. And it's more than fair for a superstar player.

The only positions worth that are a good QB or a young star LT/pass rusher. I can count on one hand the number of players in this league I’d give up a 1 and two 2s for.

Also think about where Adams was drafted, then think about where our 1st round pick would likely end up with him on our roster. It wasnt as unrealistic as people are making it out to be.

Sure if he was Deion Sanders level superstar. No thanxs.

why would u do that when u could of drafted a really good safety in the second round instead of a project at defensive tackle

Who was available that's now been playing lights out? Myself I'd rather let rookie Wilson get snaps, see if his preseason promise is real.

Hot take: this was a reasonable ask from the Jets and a reasonable pass from the Cowboys

Too bad this discussion didn't get started until today....I'd bet given more time they would have come to a fair deal on compensation.

If that was really the price I'm glad they did not get it done. Much too steep for a team that has built so much through the draft. Players brought in from the outside should supplement what the Cowboys do in the draft, not replace it. For a one time trade of one 1st rounder, Cooper was worth it. A 1st rounder plus two 2nd rounders is too much.

That's not to say that a proven player isn't nice, but a team needs the draft so it can replenish talent without having to pay big contracts to everyone. That's not sustainable.

Yeah..I agree.. glad they didnt give up three high picks.... Still wish they coulda pulled it out for a more fair trade.. All Pro safety on the cowboys way overdue.

Yeah because you can get Deion Sanders at the end of the first round.

You'd be lucky to get a Deion Sanders with the first pick in 10 straight drafts. He comes around once in a generation.

This would be more like traing Byron and Jaylon. Or LVE and Trystan. Or Taco and Chido. In any case it's a no brainers. You just don't watch Jamal Adams obviously.

You really don't watch anything but Cowboys football do you?

Byron Jones, Jaylon Smith, AND Chido—for a safety (with only two years of rights)?

That is the truth. Greed.

slick325 · Oct 29, 2019

Don't blame them for asking and definitely don't blame the front office for saying no thanks.

I'd counter with a one, a three and a two the next year with a 3rd the following year. You'd accept and that's why you're lucky I'm not in your fantasy league.

And this is why you post and are not a GM.
Way too much to give up.

I counter offered with that and basically got a response of "deal". So you're actually saying I should take my 3 time FF champ self to the big leagues?

FF champ

, FF is not real football. Stop fooling yourself. FF is not fantasy football, it is FAKE football.

Clearly Douglas never had any interest in trading Adams.

Just wanted to fleece Clem and Jethro Jones.

Yeah that's what they said they were asking. We only know that we offered a 1 and a late pick. There is room in the middle, and how negotiations usually work.

Jets asking price for Adams is one 1st and two 2nd rounders
