Signed by Cowboys Cowboys trade for OLB Elliott

[jobberone]

Nzeocha was decent ST player. It just seems odd to make a trade just for the difference in Nzeocha and Elliott's ST ability.

Isn't Nzeocha PS eligible?

Probably, but I lose track of those rules because they've changed them a couple of times.

My point was that I think they wanted Elliott for more than ST.

Elliott has had some spurts of production beyond STs. Nzeocha, not so much.

That's my point. They wanted Elliott for more than ST.

 

[xwalker]

Hopefully he contributes as a DE down the line-- but in the meantime he can help us on STs

They need help now with Moore and Irving suspended and Crawford and Tapper banged up in camp.

I agree with that.

I've seen it reported that it's a conditional 7th we gave up. Anyone know what the conditions are?

that if he doesn't give us usable intel regarding how GB is running their offense in camp, then we nix the deal - game 5 will be on us before you know it

So he's on the 46 until Moore comes back after two games. If he doesn't prove to be a better fourth or fifth DE than the group we will have then (Lawrence, Crawford, Charlton, Mayowa, Moore, Tapper) then he's inactive at best.

Cut ties with Mayowa? Youre joking right?

Wilber should go before Mayowa. But neither guy should feel safe.

So he's a OLB/DE in a 3-4 now trying to find a fit in a 4-3. And he plays STs. Ok good depth except I thought they'd go Mike. Looks like Smith or Lee will be the Mike. Still uncertain who the cover LBers will be.

Would add Elijah Lee if he's still available. A healthier and more instinctive Nzeocha.

Broaddus just said he will be a LB in Dallas not a lineman.

Broaddus is wrong IMO. This kid is similar sized to Wilber but a more natural pass rusher. Both are liabilities in coverage. And JE is much better against the run.

Mayowa isnt go anywhere period.

It seems like he will be a pass rusher here.

Mayowa is far from untouchable. If there is an upgrade out there and it takes Mayowa to get it, guess what?

Fair enough but Mayowa came on at the end of last season, and if Im not mistaken lead the team in sacks. Hes not going anywhere. Hes young and begining to produce. Id be really suprised if he was next in line to get cut.

Never said this. But agree with everything else. It's sad though that the Cowboys with their history of great pass rushers is relying on Mayowa.
