TRADED Cowboys trade for OT Broderick Jones

[fivetwos]

Jerry loves those first rounders that didn’t live up to the billing. I’m happy though that they understood that they needed a swing with experience and went and did it.

Change of scenery may change his fortune. I assume there was a bidding war for him, that’s why the value got so high

Maybe, there has to be something there being a former 1st pick 3 years back

The only part of this trade that bothers me is Jones is in his walk season. Other than that, OL depth improved today.

Hopefully, Klayton Adams isn’t the one who wanted Shelton.

Fair point lol he looks very raw tough in the fourth round tho.

 

[Risen Star]

Nothing slips past Todd.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

Can we just get Crosby instead?

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Hes not a 3rd string player, he was a 1st round pick that hasnt panned out, and hes got potential

Exactly, and that's not bad compensation for a former first round pick. And the bar is pretty low for him at RT lol

 

[RonWashington]

The only commentary I heard on TV about him was that he struggled the last 3 seasons with the Steelers. So this is another Kaiir Elam/Kenneth Murray type acquisition?

To give up a 3rd he better replace Steele and make Steele the swing tackle . That’s a heavy price . Now you have even less picks in 27 as you gave up the 3rd and 6 only get back a 4 . I would have insisted even number of draft pick swaps .

Pickens must have lined up with him wonder if they asked him anything about the player . The OL coach has to have seen tape he liked .

Big Mike getting one last jab at Jerry by unloading a "bust"? Let's hope not.

Yep said the same about GP

 

[Frosty]

You better fix him for that price.

For that price...he better be FIXED a freaking 3rd round pick....WTH. He aint no GP3

I totally agree, and I think that’s what many teams think. I think like Lance, Jerry had to win a bidding war to get him.

But a 1st round pick Olineman who started every year for you and still has multiple seasons of rookie contract left… dumped for a mid round pick swap? I’ve never heard of that before. Maybe a disruptive WR or a complete bust CB, but Olineman are worth their weight in gold. Pittsburgh needed to get that guy off the team for whatever reason.

 

[Reid1boys]

Just in, anybody no anything about him,,, Rumor is he struggled in camp with the Steelers

Please delete the post its already posted

Where did the rumor come from? You in on steelers conference calls?

 

[Coogiguy03]

I dunno about this. Chronically injured--serious injuries. He's had spinal fusion surgery. Last year of his contract.

I think the Cowboys would have been better off picking up someone off the wire.

He's perfect has all the traits that we want lol lol lol

 

[fivetwos]

I like it. I’m happy.

Thank you for not ignoring this problem Jones people,

 

[CT Dal Fan]

To those wondering, the Cowboys are now down to four picks in next year's draft: a 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 6th.

They might need to trade down in the 1st and 2nd to get volume in a deep class.

 

[Risen Star]

Hopefully, Klayton Adams isn’t the one who wanted Shelton.

I don't think he was the driving force behind that. Watch the secret audio video of that pick. Schottenheimer asks Adams if he's okay with Shelton. I don't think that's a question you ask a guy who is leading the campaign.

But our OL Coach Conor Riley recruited Shelton and mentions to him on the draft call that he can't get away from him this time. He might be the moron.

 

[BoyzBlaster]

Not for a 3rd and 6th (minus the 4th back) hes going to be more than emergency and probably 2nd string at worst

You're underestimating Jerry's ability to make stupid trades.

 

[Reid1boys]

I don't know why I come here. All you couch gms that know the outcome of every trade, know every player, even the most obscure player, you all have the inside scoop. Ugh....i need to just limit my time here to 10 minutes a day.

[Floatyworm]

Reading the Steelers forum they are pretty down on him and that's being generous. Hopefully he's . just an emergency/depth piece.

The same forum that was overjoyed to dump Pickens. Same college....same unrealistic expectations.....and they give up on a guy they completely mismanaged.

Give me Broderick Jones @ RT....and give him some help w/ a TE or chip with a RB.....and watch him flourish
