The only way Ramsey winds up in Dallas is if Diggs is immediately traded. Ramsey wants a new contract, so you're not going to pay him top dollar with Diggs due to potentially make more within the next year.

But you are the one that wants them to spend a lot on free agents. What's the difference?
If you’ve got high cost free agents, you need to draft well to keep a balanced roster with cheap talent that can still play.

If you don’t have decent draft picks then it’s hard to draft well and suddenly some time down the line you’ve got guys like Nick Hayden starting because you’ve got other needs to address as a priority and no cap space.

First things first: Trading DLaw escalates his dead money ($35M) immediately which when compared to his 2023 cap hit ($26M) means Dallas would absord a negative $9M cap hit against the 2023 cap....
I bet we have plenty of cap hit on players we plan to keep to take the blow this year. If not, we're already cap screwed and need to be shedding cap hard.

Dead cap is dead. It's not brought back to life by paying a player a salary yet again. That's just putting more money into the player and kicking the cap can down the road.

Dt is the biggest need on the team, because we're never going to go anywhere w/ the guys we got. Hankins was such an upgrade, how in the world do people not see the difference he made? First time we've been able to stop the run in the playoffs since 09.
DT was undermanned before we cut Hill and discovered that Gallimore stunk. Improving DT is just such low hanging fruit.

We do, but the defense performed well last season and did not allow SF to run the ball, so it’s not a critical need. I want another, younger DT, but we can’t even run our offense without a LG right now. And if I can only have another DT or a #2 WR, unless someone tells me Tolbert is going to shine next year, I want the WR.

Luckily, we have FA and the draft, so I’m sure we will address all 3 of those spots along the way.
Sure, but not well enough. We desperately need a disruptive 3 tech, worse than any other position. What you're missing is that we are not going to beat playoff teams until we can consistently disrupt the pocket. People always aim for the glory positions over the super bowl winning position.

Hankins is a FA, BTW, and he was a huge part of the run stopping.

first off Gallimore does not suck, sorry , he was picked 82nd in the 3rd which is close to 4th round pick and has been average, well sorry he didn't play above his draft slot but hes solid rotational guy just nothing special and not FT starter, there a lot of in between, between great and suck, something's fans need to come to grips with.,. he doesn't suck. players like him and Gholston pus others picked mid draft, well they are needed to fill roles and roster that has cap and are vital as you cant expect to have 22 pro bowlers let alone 53 top rated payers to fill out a roster.,

If you want him wait he will be released
doubt hes released but either way hes going to the team willing to give him a new much more expensive deal and that cant be us, Diggs is next up on big payday and no roster has both Corners making market money....we can draft a CB use FA on player that fit better here. say wagner and fa WR or DT.. then fill in in the draft,

Micah just put a Ramsey video on his IG story. He really thinks nfl is fantasy football lol. No way we can have Ramsey and diggs unless he wants his boy Trevon gone.
