TRADED Cowboys trade for OT Broderick Jones

[Reid1boys]

One example of it working. And they still haven't signed him. Even when it works we find a way to muck it up.

All the others were traded for simply because Jerry remembered their names.

It's a risk, and not a smart one, and will most likely fail. Fair to expect that, considering their history doing the exact same thing and getting the exact same results.

oh please ****.

 

[NDGAEDE]

oh please ****.

I have no idea what expletive you've chosen here because none make sense with the first part.

Look, I am thrilled with our offseason. I think we are going to do well this year. But I hate sending a premium draft pick for a player that has failed and is coming off a major injury. It's silly that hurts your feelings.

Want to improve the team? Package that premium pick with another and go get a difference maker. Not a swing tackle that might be the same player you're trying to replace.

Get ready for Adoree Jackson either today or tomorrow

Meh

 

[Kwyn]

The jury is still out on him. He sits on ps this year spends an offseason getting stronger, then we'll have a better grip on him. NFL has a development problem, and fans have a patience problem.

That would be horrible.

We would be trading some of our scarce draft capital, in a loaded draft, to rent a practice squad player who’s a year away from contributing, and will be an unrestricted free agent as soon as this season ends

 

[gimmesix]

That suggests he is a starter. Even getting the 4th back

Don't think it does. He's depth that we were lacking and competition.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Im guessing Steele is getting benched

Nope.

 

[gimmesix]

That's not terrible compensation. Hate losing the third, but getting the fourth back certainly helps.

 

[Cowboys5217]

Worth a look since we need tackles.

For what? We already have the 4 from last year. Now this bust the Stealers dumped on us.

 

[gimmesix]

Or just insurance maybe? Pittsburgh was not happy with Jones this offseason, there’s a possibility Steele is still the better player

Right. At this point, I think he's just a step up at swing tackle from what we had.

Doesn't hurt to take a look.

somewhat of a costly trade for missing on the draft, I.e. Shelton.

 

[Gambit]

Cowboys keeping 5 OT’s?

Guyton
Steele
Jones
Thomas
Shelton?

Thomas likely gone Shelton will go to PS

 

[gimmesix]

I about crapped my pants thinking we were giving up 3rd, 4th and 6th round picks.....


Liked this kid out of Georgia a lot.....ALWAYS thought the Steelers were making a mistake moving him from right tackle to left tackle. And the results show for themselves. Concerned about the neck injury...that he may have come back too early.....there was huge pressure in Pittsburgh to get him back on the field.

Like the trade.....Will be interesting to see how the other tackles work out now....Will be interesting to see how they view Jones....Is he the new swing tackle???? Or does he push Steele to the bench? Does this mean we are gonna carry 4 tackles????

LT-Guyton/Shelton
RT-Steele/Jones

Or Is Nate Thomas the left tackle insurance if we keep 4?

I think Thomas is still on the team. Of course, we could decide to give up on him after his showing this preseason. It will be interesting to see with him and Shelton.

 

[rambo2]

That's a former first round pick who I guess we feel we can resurrect his career

The bottom line is that they got more otackle depth. People are not giving away tackles.

 

[Gambit]

I think this signals the boys are seriously worried about tackle

At least depth.

 

[JoeyBoy718]

Maybe it says more about Shelton than it does about the starters.

An example of getting one of the best players in the league currently.

Trust me it's happening all around the league right now cut down days!

I don't consider Shelton a miss yet. We knew getting in the fourth round that he would be a project. Let's see how he develops. Fans expect too much out of third-day picks.
