Cowboys need to take advantage of trade deadline fire sales

[jterrell]

There are a lot of bad football teams and there should be a market for those teams who are openly tanking to offer talent at fire sale prices.
But I'm not sure I see the Von Miller type move just yet.
Let me know when someone wants to move an elite OL.

Teams can simply let guys hit free agency and collect comp picks. They do not have to trade them to get a return.
And renting them for a 2nd to get a 4th isn't great business. Dallas isn't exactly known for it's free-spending ways.

We have a top 10 coaching staff and a top 10 roster.

Atlanta is 3-3 ...which currently has them tied for 1st place in the NFC South.
2nd year HC Mike Campbell has the team playing agressive and tough (they took advantage of depleted 49ers defense yeaterday).
Bridge QB Mariota is reunited with his former OC/now HC, and is playing beyond what most Falcons fans expected.
Jarrett signed an extenstion that works out to $16.5 million a year through 2025 (incentatives can boost it to $17 per).
He is now the most notable veteran prescence and team leader since longtime QB Ryan was traded to the Colts.
5 of Atlanta's next 7 opponents are on par with them or worse - so expect them to still be in the playoff hunt when the calendar turns to December.
Jarrett will not be traded to the Cowboys - or any other team - in 2022.

Arthurn Smith is the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons. He's 40 years old.

Mike Campbell was the guitarist in Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. He's 72.

I can see where there's confusion. Probably happens all the time.

WR DJ Moore or Robbie Anderson from Panthers would be ideal.

Robbie Anderson is the more realistic and economical option. Reminds me a lot of Miles Austin.




Commanders may also be sellers, CB Jackson is asking out and NT Payne should also be available.

Cardinals incompetence utilizing OLB/SS hybrid player Isaiah Simmons is akin to their misuse of Haason Reddick.

So instead of admitting you were all wrong about the WR thing this offseason, you continue to double down and act like we need help at WR? I guess thats the typical style of many posters on here.

I suspect that if our FO had elected to keep one of Cooper or Wilson from being cut, some of our recent difficulties could have been avoided. In lieu of that being the case, we may never know what could or would have transpired otherwise. I think the FO might regret having made those decisions, assuming they haven't done so already.

The question I have about bringing in a DT via trade is how will that stop teams from running out on the edges on us? Philly did go up the middle on us more but overall- rushing on the edges has been an issue for the team all season.

i don’t expect a trade but Derrick brown is intriguing. I’d also kick the tires on suh. He’s old but we don’t need young suh.

So you saying Cowboys would not have traded Greg Ellis, Mo Claiborne, Bobby Carpenter, Marcus Spears, Taco Charlton, etc. if they had a chance?

Both of you guys need to know your history.

Trade that netted us Randy White ring any bells?

A trade from.....50 years ago is your example?

You think we can get Wentz?

Wentz left handed is better than Dak.

 

[Bigtex67]

You think we can get Wentz?

Can we afford not to get him?!?!??!?!

It's certainly worth exploring possibilities, but realistically NFL teams don't generally do trade deadline "fire sales" the way MLB teams do. There may be a couple of significant deals, but many of the trades that do happen are depth oriented and involve mid to low level players and lower round draft picks.

 

[mattjames2010]

DJ Moore isn't going anywhere with that contract. Put this crap to rest already.

 

[Rockport]

You think we can get Wentz?

Depends on how much the Commanders will give us for him.

 

[atlantacowboy]

DJ Moore is the only WR who can impact this team mid-season. And he might not even be available for anything less than a first and 3rd. BUT, that would give us a legit #1 WR and he is only 25.

No musicians involved.
It was a Falcons head coach name mixup in my mind.
Took the first name of an Atlanta HC a several years ago - Mike Smith (2008-2014) - put it with the last name of a two-time Falcons head coach from four and three decades ago - Marion Campbell (1974-1976, 1987-1989).
And throw in a brain-block for the present HC's first name - Arthur - which is the first name of the Falcons' owner - Arthur Blank.

That's a blast from the past! I totally forgot that guy existed.

Whose wr play has made you feel set at the position ?

Everyone we have.

Hopefully the BUCS will continue to lose and accept my BossmanFat + $5 for Vita Vea trade offer

So Cowboys do not need help at WR????

Talk about doubling down on stupidity.

How often does Zeke make you look the fool?

You believe your takes to be visionary and revelatory but you are Quixotic at best.

How about Von Miller mid-season trade last year that catapulted Rams into the SB?

Is that recent enough for you?
