Twitter: Cowboys Discussing Trading L Collins

Mistake.

That means they think that JAG Steele is a starter.

First time I agree with you.

 

[Carson]

You really think we would get fair compensation for this?

Just wait. "Dallas trades La'El Collins, 1st round pick and will pay him $9.5 of his $10 million salary to the Bengals for a conditional 6th round pick that can be a 5th if Collins plays 100% of the snaps".

These are the moves other teams make and then go sign a Bobby Wagner, Jordan Hicks etc. We will just end up spending $10 million on Gifford, Hyatt and Bernard

Good just get something for him. Don't wait twiddling your thumbs seeing him labor injured and mentally checked out and after another year decide to cut your losses, be proactive at least.

 

[NeonNinja]

Can’t wait to get this 7th round pick for our starting RT!

 

[Carson]

We have Steele.

That 7th rounder will be our starting WR or MLB!

And that's bad?

The demise of their early season run game came with the return of Collins. He was a JAG all season.

sure who needs an Oline...

Kinda weird. Collins is a very good player but they couldn’t run their offense anymore after he came back

 

[TheGoat73]

Starting to feel like a rebuilding year.

 

[movaughn88]

We have to judge all of this after compensation, and if anything actually happens.

If Steele can make another "jump" like he did last offseason, I'm fine with him as starting RT if there's good draft compensation.

Also have to wonder if Josh Ball is looking good in his weightroom/conditioning/recovery.

 

[RS12]

Maybe the new addition to the family is asking for 10 mil. Highland Park aint cheap.

 

[TheGoat73]

I question Collins dedication, work ethic, and love of the game. Not a 10 million a year player IMO and likely pissed Jerry off the last couple years.

I don’t trust his decision making. Who would?

 

[Carson]

Starting to feel like a rebuilding year.

I wouldn't say that yet.

I would say more like getting rid of the overpaid bums.

 

[DCwarrior]

And yet he did and we won a lot of games, ran well, and blocked well.

Ran well? Blocked well? And yet our O looked completely inept for long stretches.

Not weird you must have missed his injury year off, coming in out of shape then getting suspended etc etc post suspension not in great shape to play etc this isnt about money. 10mil is cheap for a starting OL this is about LC his dedication and off field issues.

 

[Teague31]

He absolutely needs to go. He’s a moron and his play has dropped off the past two years.

 

[RS12]

Broaddus says they love Trevor Penning, maybe he is right for once.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Interesting

Definitely looking to shake some things up this offseason.

OT depth is there in draft
DE depth is there in draft
WR depth is there in draft

Get picks for Collins and Cooper goes along way for those needs

Definitely, I'm all for this.
