Cowboys to use 2nd round tender on T.J. Bass

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

Bass is legit. Really hate to see him go. Even for a 2nd.

You know there isn't a team on the planet that would give a 2nd for him, right?

Why do the Zaney Zoners on this site not understand that just because our geriatric GM places a 2nd round tender on a backup guard, or a kicker with The Yips, etc etc, that zero teams would actually give up such a high pick (or even any pick) to acquire that player?

Why do our fans never understand that the OTHER team has to think it's a good deal for THEM, and that Day 2 draft picks are EXTREMELY valuable and coveted....despite the fact that they see this lesson taught to them over and over again every offseason, yet STILL come clogging up the site with ridiculous statements and Madden-esque fantasies of other teams just waiting in line to throw their draft picks at us.

You'd think after a while....years and decades even....people would learn.

They wouldn't trade him then. You aren't considering his age. Young starter has value.

I agree they wouldn't. That's my point. Its worth more to keep him then to trade him.

The only value someone has is what someone is willing to give up. And nobody is giving up big time compensation for a non starter guard. You're falling in the trap of overvaluing our own players.

I'm pretty sure the tenders have nothing to do with getting compensation for them. They want them. You typically tender guys you want to keep.

You never know. There are crazy trades every year.

He has and could start for us if needed again. He could start for other teams as well.

very good backup; average starter for a few games; not quality starter for a season

Doesn't matter. Teams are not gonna trade for a guy that hasnt' started much but can. They will play for them sure. But if you think a 2nd or 3rd or even a 4th you will get? Yeah you are overvaluing the position. Teams don't even want to draft guards high let alone trade a 2nd for them.

he could start for lousy teams or rebuilding teams to hold down the spot until they got a real starter there
for a team that wants to contend for a SB, he is not good enough

When is the last time you saw a guard with limited playing time traded for a 2nd? Hell when's the last time you saw a starting guard traded for a 2nd?

Cowboys spent the 12th pick of the draft on Booker. 24th pick on Tyler. Double dipped.

 

[shabazz]

Hey at least I knew what it was. He didn't.

Thats because hes a major country music fan and doesn't branch out from that.

I believe hes a big Conway Twitty fan but honestly; who isn't?

They could possibly get a 4th rounder from the Raiders and use that extra 4th to move up into the 3rd.

 

[buybuydandavis]

10 starts gets you $6m

Smith out to LT, Bass to LG?

 

[Kwyn]

Smith out to LT, Bass to LG?

Smith doesn’t want to play tackle so you have to really want to force him out rhere and probably compensate him for it

So, you need a really compelling reason to do it.

Respectfully…..Cowboys also spent on a running back. They don’t follow the rest of the league and that’s why it’s been 30 years…..

You would think..

No....I DO know ..

And here's the proof: just watch.

It won't happen. Not 1 in a billion chance.

And then you'll know....and maybe learn something for future years

Sam Williams. Maybe someone will give us a 3rd for him, since we don't want him because he's complete garbage. YOU NEVER KNOW!!!!!!!!

Team with a dire need would easily pay a second, or more likely negotiate for a third, to get a guy like Bass, who is likely a starter for a lot of teams. However, no one will pay that much before a major injury to their starters…and before the draft.

The Chargers might after this past year.

 

[DarkVader33]

I think that’s one of those things you may have to accept a 6th or 7th.

Then you don’t accept it and keep him. You’ll probably get more than that from losing him to FA next year if he’s not signed long term.
