News: DAL said no to trading Aldon to SEA

[phildadon86]

Tough call..

He’s 31 though and we are a mess.

If he is signing a team friendly deal for us taking a chance on him and there’s a gentleman’s agreement already it makes sense

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

What were the Seahawks offering in return?

 

[Runwildboys]

The guy hasn't made a play in weeks. If we are being honest, Aldon Smith of late has been as bad as anyone in the front seven. He hasn't gotten much pressure, and is a no show against the run.

If he wasn't the only guy offenses were worried about, I'm sure he'd be making more plays.

 

[mathew1184]

I would have traded him for a 4th. I dont think we will be a contender for awhile. Alden knows that to, no guarantee he re signs with us right now.

I hope I'm wrong, we'll see.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Tony Dorsett, thanks. I know, just kidding. 43 years ago, but good trade.

The GREATEST trade we ever made with them.

 

[Praxit]

..If Aldie could get some help from other guys, his play would be consistent.

 

[Typhus]

I’d say nothing more than a 6

If it was a 4th it’d be hard to say no

If it was a 4th, that would explain everything you already knew about this FO.

 

[Brooksey]

Aldon is the best player on defense and he hasn't played in 5 years. He's depressed..we all see what he can do. I keep him just to stick it to Seattle unless it was a 3rd round pick, it wasn't.

Waiting for players to start texting pre snap

Just saw in on Good Morning Football that SEA wanted to trade for him but we said no. Wondering if they are thinking about a long term contract with him.

He's been one of the only bright spots on this defense. I'm okay with Dallas keeping him.

 

[CyberB0b]

Dumb move. He’s likely to get a Quinn like deal light from some team. He’s also 31.

Yup. I'd take the Everson Griffen deal in a heartbeat.

 

[tico]

Then sit the boy down and extend him... don't fumble like they did Quinn

 

[cern]

The nfce is so bad, the cowboys brass still has hope we can win the east and make the playoffs. Ergo, smith stays.

Maybe holding out for more. I don't see the money to sign him.

Thing is, he probably brings a good comp pick anyway. Hard to get more than the comp pick, although a trade gives it to us a year early.

I don't see how we can sign him with Lawrence under contract.

Meh. It's a dumb call then. I don't give a hoot about winning the NFC LEast. Sure, better than losing, but I wouldn't give up a pick to make it happen.

 

[TRUTH87]

Dallas will probably extend him and his play will decline. We will look back at this offer and hit our heads. I’m very negative Nancy right now

 

[Cowfan75]

Can't image it was any better than a 5th, considering he hasn't done anything recently. But who knows. He might have shown Jerry enough to break the bank on him.

 

[Beast_from_East]

Anybody know what the offer was?

I would have done the trade for a 3rd or 4th rounder.............anything below that and the Seabags can suck it.

 

[Toomany10pins]

Does Seattle have any draft picks left? I wonder what they offered.

4 now after the Dunlop trade. I’m assuming this trade talk was before that happened.

 

[DCreppinBoysfan]

Please list below all of the successful trades with SEA.

We definitely won the Joey Galloway trade
