News: Cowboys Trade for Christine Michael per Schefter

Finally some depth!

Christine Michael - RB - Cowboys
Cowboys acquired RB Christine Michael from the Seahawks for a conditional draft pick.

It's a smart flier for the RB-needy Cowboys, and the best-case scenario for the uber-talented Michael after he languished behind Marshawn Lynch and Robert Turbin the past two seasons. Michael has obviously been overvalued in fantasy circles, but his raw physical ability still jumps off the page. He'll be put in position to succeed by shrewd OC Scott Linehan behind Dallas' league-best offensive line. There's a chance Michael ends up just as buried in Dallas as he was in Seattle, but he's very much worth a flier behind Joseph Randle, Lance Dunbar and Darren McFadden. There are carries there for the taking in Big D.
 
It's all relative. But I'd trade him elsewhere if at all possible if the situation were reversed. Maybe we were the only ones interested in avoiding a waiver risk.

I believe you are correct. Given the compensation was only a 7th rounder, they didn't want to risk losing him to a waiver claim.
 
I'd rather he replace Dunbar rather than be in addition to him. Especially if it means keeping a lb or de. Dunbar offers nothing this guy from what I heard doesn't already bring
 
could someone list what draft picks we have now for next year including projected comp picks?
 
Always questionable when a team is willing to give up on a second round pick so quickly, and to a fellow contender no less.
 
Stats say in two seasons with Seattle Michael had 52 carries that averaged 4.9 yards, and one fumble that wasn't lost.
 
It will be nice to have a change of pace back. Right now we've got a lot of speed and quickness, but not much power. He can run those plays they were giving to Clutts in the preseason.
