TRADED Cowboys trading for DT Jordan Phillips

[RustyBourneHorse]

Damn….

Haha, that was a hilarious play!! Good to know we have someone that caused a Rodgers meme in a funny way.

Yeah I don’t see him not making it but at the same time they didn’t trade him for anything. Maybe this is a wake up call move for Mazi and the other one techs. Didn’t risk anything to do it. People see 6’6 230 and get excited…..

Carrying more than two NT-only players would be a niche roster philosophy (assuming Mazi is done as a 3-tech), so this probably is indicative of where they think Justin Rogers is at

Considering all the positive talk of Justin Rogers and his potential to be that quality depth this year I'd say this trade has more to do with the steaming pile of crap we burned a 1st round pick on.

Good is relative. I have never seen a player who started as many games as he did last year have a sub-40 PFF grade before. Lets see what NYG got for him, that’ll tell us a bit about how he was doing this TC

He had one good year in 2019 and hasnt really done anything since. Not really a starting caliber DT

Brian Baldinger..Jordan Phillips shows off phenomenal athletic ability​

 

[JBS]

I hope his PFF score from last year isn’t indicative of his current talent level.

You think at 31 his talent has changed from last year to today ?

MAN 6'6 342

That was hilarious when it happened. Hope he makes Hurts look like that.

Am I worried about Mazi? Yes I am. Because i
Thought he was going to be good and he still has a ways to go. He may never develop. I haven’t given up yet though.


But the team needs 4-5 DT’s. These guys don’t play a lot of snaps. Before this trade who was playing behind Mazi and OSA?

Justin rogers a late round rookie? Anyone else of note?

 

[Coogiguy03]

Holy crap. We actually are getting a good DT

How do you know

Not to mention that we addressed a position of need. The FO finally did something!!

 

[Coogiguy03]

PFF had him as the worst graded DT we will see about that lol

Don't worry we have Zim he can fix anything lol

 

[Zman5]

Speculation is it's Micah and draft picks for Phillips.

Good. I was scared it was going to be Trey Lance and draft picks for him.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

We gave up way too much.

Solid trade. Well done to the FO. They did something useful!!

 

[_sturt_]

This has nothing to do with Mazi and everything to do with them finally concluding they really can't lean on a 7th round draft pick, nor a 30+ yr-old cut from another team's practice squad last season to be Mazi's back up.

Give them credit. This is exactly the kind of acquisition I've been begging them to do all off-season. I feel a lot better now.

 

[Floatyworm]

Another trade Jerry wins.

Cowboys got a DT like everyone wanted.

Could have got him in free agency for nothing.....instead we gotta cough up a draft pick to acquire a journeyman. Jerry Jones and McClay are just the 2 worst front office executives in the NFL.

 

[Risen Star]

They may have liked what they see in Rogers as a backup this year but not with Mazi as the starter. They don't trust Mazi to be that guy this year so they bring in a vet to pair with Mazi. They are more comfortable this way than relying on Mazi to be that vet with a 7th round rookie behind him.

That's how I see this trade. It's not about Rogers. It's about Mazi and what a disappointment he is.

Same here. Maybe we can finally stop the run!!

And he's a Cowboy killer.
