B/R ranks the worst trades in history

I hate the Micah trade because we should’ve gotten more. A real GM would have sent Micah home and let the auction began. It is way too early to say if the Micah trade was a disaster though. Have to let things play out.
 
This IMO is why the gambling Jerry is back ......... he wants to prove to the league and his peers that HE won the Micah trade. The fact that this article is calling it one of the worst trades in sports history WITHOUT waiting to see any results .......goodness

Ranking the Worst Trades in Sports This Century​

Honestly, I'm sick of the media. It has taken sensationalism to new heights, one ridiculous click bait item after another, they're all operating at Mike Fish level.
 
Good thing they only considered last 25 years… Jerry would have dominated this list. He was rolling snake eyes in the’90s turning this franchise into his personal crap show.

BTW The Saints and Ditka giving up every pick in their draft for Ricky Williams HAS to be at least top 3…

Ranking the Parsons trade as one of the worst in history is one of the most ridiculous rankings I've ever seen. We already have a topnotch player in return in Q, and still have a 1st round pick. And this could easily turn around, as there are major chinks appearing in Parsons' armor, having a couple of injuries this year already. This might be one of the worst trades for GB.

This dude needs to get a different job, he sucks at this one.
 
Why would the Parsons trade not be on the list? Not only did we get a poor return, it pulled the rug from our feet right at the start of the season!

I was listening to the Locked on Cowboys mid season review podcast earlier with Mosher and McCool. They are 2 writers who are very fair and say it how it is and they both hate the trade for multiple reasons.
Yeah, having Micah instantly fixes all the issues with our defense. We might have a few more sacks and generate slightly more pressure if he were here and actually trying, but we still wouldn't be able to stop the run and we would still likely seeing him rushing up the field and leaving huge holes for RBs to run through on obvious rushing downs. Not to mention, we are getting close to the time of year when he starts to wear down and disappear. Oh, we also would've had to have made him the highest paid defensive player in history. Parsons tried to negotiate with Jerry in public. Sleeping on the trainer table basically forced Jerry's hand, he had to get rid of him.
 
Yeah, let's see in a year or two. Does Micah hold up? Do the Cowboys build a defense with the money saved and the draft picks acquired?
^this.

Way too early for final judgements.

If the Cowboys pick up the next Ray Lewis in the draft with the Packers pick, the narrative changes.
 
At the end of the day this is one guy with an opinion.
 
OK, this guy is stupid. You cannot make this list w/o the Herschel Walker trade. IDK what he's smoking, but this list is stupid.

Larry Anderson to the Red Sox for Jeff Bagwell.

The Astros make this list on the other side also, trading away HOFer Joe Morgan and Rusty Staub.
 
At the end of the day this is one guy with an opinion.
A very bad opinion w/ very poor research.

Honestly, not only is the Walker trade top 5 easy, how is it not first or second?

28th last year w/ Micah, downgrade w/o him wasn't all that steep.
 
Nah. It will be fine. We were #32 with him and we're 32 without him.

I am surprised at the parsons trade being on there. way too early as results are unknown...

and I am surprised the Walker trade is not there...seriously, how could they not include that....
 
That's like grading the draft the day after. Getting rid of his mouth alone has a hidden cost.
