There has been a few trades of players that are high salaries in bad teams.
First it was Richardson, then Monroe and Brown both were traded.

Made me start to wonder if there are any players Dallas could maybe trade for and positions that we need.

Tampa bay came to mind. Gerald McCoy has one year left on his contract and is very high.
he is a 10.9 million cap hit this year and a 13 million cap hit next year.
Tampa might be ready to trade him for a few picks.Dallas gets a day one starting DT that is perfect for the Tampa 2 and is still very young. We can sign him to a new long term deal and lower his salary cap for next year. Also still gives Dallas a 1st to spend on another position next year or for a another young DT. Dallas would probably have to give up a few picks for McCoy if they don't want to give up a first.


Darnell Docket is another player that came to mind that could fit in at DT and wouldn't have to give up as much as McCoy.
Dockett is a 7.7 cap hit this year and a 8.75 next year and is 32 years old.
much rather get McCoy but wouldn't have to give up as many picks or any where near for Dockett.


Then the real dream trade came to me. Cleveland has Ahtyba Rubin playing 3-4 DE but is a true 1 tech DT which would be great next to Hatcher. Rubin is young at 27 and is a 7.5 million cap hit this year andnext year is his last deal at 8 million cap hit. We could get a new long term deal done to lower the cap hit next year.
Also wouldn't have to give up as much for Rubin as you would McCoy as he was a late round pick.
The dream comes in with adding Joe Haden to he trade. Haden has two years left on his deal after this year with a very high cap hit both years. Haden still young at 24 and is a perfect fit in the Tampa 2 but his high cap numbers might be reason for Browns to listen.
Dallas could offer mid round picks and a young promising much cheaper CB(Claiborne) for Rubin and Haden. Haden replaces Claiborne and Ruben replaces Hayden at DT.
Also Haden was a favorite of Secondary coach Jerome Henderson when he was the secondary coach with the Browns.


All three trades probably would never work and is probably just a dream scenario but I would hope that it atleast came across the minds in Dallas and all three are worth a phone call.

I'm interested in McCoy but why would Tampa trade one of their best players?

Claiborne wouldn't garner a first round pick in return let alone 2 of the Browns best Defensive players

Because he has one year left and they are 0-4 and could use him to get 3 draft picks.

I dont like him that much, think he has already had at least one knee issue. I am sure you are talking at least a 1st and 3rd so, no.

If there weren't a salary cap.........

we have room and also via trades the team getting the players only has to pay the base salary the other team has to pay the bonus money. Also all players I mentioned have one more year left meaning we can sign them to new long term deals that will lower their cap hits.

DT isnt a need for Dallas IMO. Hatcher is proving his worth and i think he will be in Dallas for another contract, as he should. And Hayden is turning heads he's given just as much production as people could expect. Marinelli himself said theyre not really looking at 3tech and 1 tech, but really just want guys who can attack the middle. And thats what Hatcher and Hayden have been doing all yr. Selvie Hatcher and Hayden have suprised. If only Ware could get on track this would be a very good DL.

DT is absolutely a need in dallas. And hatcher won't be back.

And dallas doesn't have much money. We have our own players we need to sign. Dez and Tyron top the list. And they will get mega bucks.

We are cap strapped.

Yeah....

No

ah yeah, have you seen other trades. bad teams need to start rebuilding and McCoy with a year left tampa might listen.

This thread is about players I think Dallas should atleast make an inquire about. None of these are trades that I said would for sure happen.
McCoy could easily leave Tampa after nest year and Tampa get nothing for him.

come on man, we aren't cap strapped. Dallas has structured contracts were we can easily restructure and the cap is projected to jump in 2015 with the new TV deal. People say Dallas doesn't have any money every year and then they are always under the cap and they do what ever they want in free agency.

The Cowboys are roughly $2M under the cap right now. Trading for any of those players is impossible unless those players are going to magically accept a huge cut in pay.

Ain't happening.

or they sign an extension where they take a big signing bonus and structure this year as low salary.

I love Romo but that deal we gave him is going to hurt this team for a long time.

He shouldn't have got that much money until he had some post season success.

One small problem, Dallas does not have that much salary cap room. Cowboys need to carry over salary cap from this year so that they can meet next years salary cap. At least Spencer won't cost as much next year if he recovers from the microfracture surgery.

There has been a few trades of players that are high salaries in bad teams.
First it was Richardson, then Monroe and Brown both were traded.

Made me start to wonder if there are any players Dallas could maybe trade for and positions that we need.
