Hardball.

Me likey.

If they don't accept a 3rd.. just move on. It was a pipe dream anyway.

 

[gmoney112]

Theyll budge after their 1st round pick

 

[3rd_n_inches]

Seattles move is on the clock now

 

[kumizi]

A 1st and a 3rd is an easy no. Just wait a year and sign him.

 

[Corso]

If this ends up a 2nd rounder for him... Seattle won.
Hopefully Dallas reaps a crud-load of benefit and wins too.

That would be cool.

Anything more than a 4th is too high, that is what they will get for him in 2 years as a comp pick. Asking for more than that now is ridiculous.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

This is Jerry's fault after taking the awful Galloway and Williams deals. Now every team is going for the gold.

 

[rags747]

Screw it, don't see anyone else banging down the Seahawks door for Thomas. A 3rd at most and not even sure I want to do that.

 

[Gaede]

Honestly, this is an easy thing to negotiate from our perspective.

 

[MojaveJT]

Good. We have all the leverage here. If they don't lower the asking price -fine, we'll try and pick up ET next year once a FA. I agree with the article, SEA has more to lose in this deal if they don't budge.

If Stephen and and McClay weren't here, he would've sent 2 firsts to Seattle already!

That depends on what he signs for. $9m AAV was around the cutoff this year.

And the idea is that someone needs to do better than that or Seattle has no reason to make a deal. It should be obvious that they want better than that.

I might give a 3rd. I really like Thomas, however you're not just giving up draft capitol- you're giving him a big extension.
And a 3rd round pick landed Jourdan Lewis last year.

yea, so far we seem to be bidding against ourselves.

4th rounder or keep him.

Exactly. They wouldn't try this on a team like NE because they know better. I hope Jerry has learned his lesson..

It's self evident that the front office has learned its lesson. The issue is that 31 other teams need to learn this is not the desperation driven Cowboys anymore.

 

[Teague31]

I would do a third.

If a trade doesn’t go down prior to the draft or during the draft it won’t happen.
