Twitter: Cowboys Discussing Trading L Collins

just creating more holes

 

[Gaede]

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

Not when Steele was starting at RT

 

[DCwarrior]

Oh ok. Steele was our O savior. Got it.

 

[Carson]

just creating more holes

Yep.

We will get a crap pick and only free up $1.5 million in cap

 

[NorthTexan95]

I love the idea of trading Collings before his body breaks down and he still has some value. Give Steele a full year to prepare for one position and I think he'll be fine as the starter.

 

[Cboyfan4ever]

First time I agree with you.

I also agree.Not only is he your best RT, but he would also be the best LG.It’s not like he’s breaking the bank.The Dallas dysfunction continues.Stephen you cheapskate.What a joke.

 

[Big_D]

Good. Let’s stop keeping players long past their financial expiration.

 

[CowboyChris]

depends on his value, and if we intend to move him to LG?

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

In tough situations like this I always think to myself WWTD.

What Would Tad Do?

 

[speedkilz88]

If they trade him post June they save $10 million in cap.

 

[Hennessy_King]

I'm ok with blowing up the o line. We paid too much for poor production and or availability

He’d give Dak a well earned raise!

 

[phildadon86]

Penning won’t make it to 24.

I have 5 OL in front of him. No way he isn’t there at 24 in my opinion

 

[Nexx]

I'm going to laugh when Dak is even more horrible next year.

Lol. You’re gonna laugh at the teams failure so you can be right about one player. What a great fan you are.

P.S. daks regression and Collins coming back was around the same time. May wanna hold
On to your chuckles

 

[Cowboyny]

Heck yeah they should.

I was waiting for this. Collins stepped in and the line immediately got worse. You can be a better player and still not a good fit for the team. Steele doesn't have his pedigree but played very well and so did the line and running game.

Throw in the inconsistent availability and it's an easy decision.

I agree, just isn't the same player we signed prior to the extension which maybe due to that hip surgery. Steele actually played on his level. People complain about holding onto a player too long, great time to get a pick before it's too late.

 

[fivetwos]

A third round pick would be great.....especially if you don't use it on a corner with a 7th round grade.

what else can you do except laugh when the organization isn't helping your average QB by trading away offensive pieces?

 

[Plankton]

So right now teams are either getting an honest offer from Stephen or an indecent proposal from Jerry.

But will all parties be willing to sign an NDA? That could be a holdup in this deal.

 

[Alexander]

Thing is, they are in love with Penning. So you’re trading Collins and likely moving Steele back to the bench

You don't trade a starter and have plans on his backup remaining so when you pick 24th.
