News: CW: Former NFL exec: RB Saquon Barkley 'would be perfect' with Cowboys

[CTcowboy203]

Not saying I’m advocating for his signing, I’d obviously take him on a cheap deal which he won’t take because he’ll want more but the 49ers traded for Christian McCaffrey at age 26 when the previous 2 seasons before he played 3 games and 7 games. 10 total games.
They gave up a 2nd, 3rd, 4th and a 5th rounder for him.

If the cowboys did this all we’d hear about is how we traded “ for a guy who’s always injured”. Now mccaffrey is better than Saquan and he didn’t have an acl injury but Barkley has played 13+ games for 3 straight seasons. If the money was right (it won’t be ) I’d absolutely be fine with it.

It’s hard to judge Barkley because of the team he played for. Giants had no oline and no qb. He could flourish with a team who has a decent oline and weapons on offense. He wouldn’t have to be the key.

 

[Cowboyny]

Barkley is one of the most overrated players in the entire league, based on where it was drafted:

-Always hurt
-Terrible in the passing game both as a receiver and worse as a blocker
-Not an inside runner

 

[SwagSurfer]

I think he'd be a great fit but what's the price?

 

[TheDude]

I do not want the Cowboys to sign any free agent running backs either.

I have said for over 10 years the way to handle the running back position is to throw numbers at the problem using low-round picks and UDFA signings.

All you need to do it is hit on a decent running back with fresh legs every couple of years.

Eh, depends on the back. If Derrick Henry type is there in late first or econd round, you hit it. Agree in general

 

[ArtClink]

Not if he wants to reach a conf championship game.

I think Henry would have been a great mid-season addition, but I still prefer to get running backs from the draft otherwise.

Id love Saquan on this team

The only ones that would get to see him though would be nurses, doctors and physical therapists. To be fair let's add Tyron Smith to that stay healthy calamity.

Terrible as a receiver?

Nah bro.

Yes, all we need is both missing multiple games.

 

[Captain-Crash]

why, do we not have enough injured players?

 

[Cowboyny]

Terrible as a receiver?

Nah bro.

Yes, he real bad, watch his entire career here in NY. Drops a ton of passes.

 

[Havic]

This has zeke 2.0 written all over it imo.

 

[eromeopolk]

You have to have a Football GM with separation of power, authority, and accountability to realize that about Barkley. Arlington Jonesboys Owner is the GM, Jerry Dumbo GM Jones.

 

[SuspectCorner]

The Cowboys probably won’t pay Pollard - and they won’t pay Barkley. It would take a miracle.

 

[Bowdown27]

I like Barkley but. I think Henry is the better option. Barkley was on a terrible giants team. He could flourish elsewhere but I think Henry is better fit. He lives in Dallas during offseason and trains in offseason here.

 

[CWR]

Looking in wrong place. We will not pay $10 mil per year for a RB, we'd be lucky to spend 4 mil per.

Think more along the lines of an

AJ Dillon
J.K. Dobbins
Gus Edwards
Zach Moss
D'Onta Foreman

I'll take Gus, or Foreman AND a rookie.

 

[jgboys1]

Well if we are going "all in" and we are going extend Dak, then what the hell.
Sign Barkley, work on the O-line and lets make one more run at this.
I don't think this is a good idea but it is the type of thing Jerry would do..

 

[BigD_95]

Please NOOOOO!!!!!! Most overrated - over hyped RB ever

If we want a tough and physically punishing run game, Henry is the guy.
