Cowboys Trade Ben Bass to Patriots in exchange for CB Justin Green***Merged***

[chicago JK]

Cornerbacks must have a bigger meeting room. We never seem to have seats in the defensive lineman meeting rooms. There always seems to be room in the db room.

Replace Hayden with Bishop and you're probably there.

Bishop is our only hope from the scourge that is Nick Hayden.

Where's Tonya Harding when you need her?

Here's another way to look at it.

The league begins sniffing around Valley Ranch for PED use.

The Cowboys immediately ship Ben Bass out of town.

I don't want to point any fingers but it would explain a lot.

 

[Zordon]

Time for the apologists to act like they weren't hyping Ben Bass the last year. Remember the "return of Ben Bass" was used as reasoning why this dline would be better this year. Lol good times...

Nobody will admit it.

So Scandrick gets suspended. Garrett says he wants to look at the young in house payers at the position first to replace him. The team conducts a walkthrough. The Cowboys trade for a cornerback.

You can't make this stuff up.

I'm setting the over/under on you likes at 7000 before sf kickoff. Cut down day should be great

You STILL don't know that, Zordon.

Lucky guess so far.

Cowboys knew about Scandrick before camp opened, according to DC.com. Just today Scandrick's appeal was overturned and the suspension was official (if this is what you're referring to).

When I woke up this morning, I was thinking, how can we get Justin Green.

I had no idea we would have to pay this price.

Damn you, Belicheat!

That's something I'll probably look back on with pride when I'm done posting. Right now I barely think of it.

Bellichick showing his greatness as a coach once again, he just bought a future HoFer DE for pennies.

 

[TheDude]

I'm resigned to the fact that we must have at least one make-a-wish player on the roster.

Hayden might as well go show Brooke Hogan how he got his nickname.

Didn't he win an AVN?

Belichick: Yeah, well I want Ben Bass.....what's that?....oh.....okay.....~hanging up the phone~....holy crap, guys...he went for it.

Meh

For some reason this thread reminds me of the knee-jerk negative reactions to the Rolando McClain trade. And then the details of the trade became known. The nabobs of negativism retreated only to come out again when they heard idiotic rumors of McClain not wanting to practice/play. They then went back into hiding. Only to come back out and rant and rave at a trade about players and details they know nothing about.

None of us know if this trade is good or not. Time will tell. However, it seems like a fair trade for both sides. And it would be really nice to know who initiated the offer, the Cowboys or the Patriots. And it would be nice to know if Bass was the first choice of the Pats and Green for the Cowboys.

Neither Green or Bass are locks to make the roster. Who knows, maybe Bass gets cut and comes back to the Cowboys in Sept.

But, to play devil's advocate, look who traded for him. He didn't exactly get shipped to the Jaguars.

Dallas pulled one over on the Pats.

When Ben Bass is collecting unemployment checks a year from now with CZ HOFer Phil Costa I'll know.
