Dallas-NE swap per Broaddus-RUMOR

[big dog cowboy]

YEAH let's just take the Minny deal and get their 3rd.


Oh wait...........

As Norm pointed out this morning ... we traded down out of Steven Jackson for Julius Jones, but the good news is we got Jacob Rogers out of it.

What Norm totally ignores was that they never had any intention to draft Steven Jackson. Parcells wanted Kevin Jones if they could trade back up in the first and Julius Jones if they couldn't. Jackson had medical red flags which is the reason he dropped like rock in the first place.

I've been saying all day since I first talked about it eight hours ago:

NE is talking with every team between #5-#10. Chances are about 90% that they move into the top ten. Julio is the target, Quinn a consolation prize, Jordan a dark-darkhorse. Cleveland is the frontrunner right now simply due to position.

They don't want to get rid of #28/#33 as those are prime trade-up picks or someone giving up a 2012 #1 for them. That being said, no team will bite unless those get thrown in. That's where the 10% from above comes from.

Trust me on this.

Thanks for that trip down memory lane! :bang2:

Anyone notice when Parcells was going over the "prototype running back" on his show the other night, Jackson was one of the guys he mentioned?

 

[ThreeandOut]

Looks like no deal with NE or Minnesota. Maybe we can just take Tyron Smith at 9.

UPDATE FROM BORADDUS

BryanBroaddus Bryan Broaddus
Just had a visit with a NE authority that doesn't believe NE will pay market value to move up so DAL will probably not get deal they hope.

Great News! They can throw in next years #1 and then feel good about the fact that they didn't pay market value.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if we are targeting Jordan and we've been putting up these smoke screens for weeks now.

Remember Rob did coach under Bill B. for 3 years.

Let that one marinate for a while.

 

[AmishCowboy]

who do the pats think they need to jump ahead of??

Heard this morning that Washington is interested in Jordan.

 

[CoCo]

Remember how some marveled at how inexpensive it was to leapfrog Baltimore and snag Dez last year? And it was Belichek/NE who made it possible. I wonder if there is any "you owe me" to these discussions with NE.

If it's an arms-length transaction both years then we shouldn't have to worry. Personally, I never want to be "beholdin" to someone. Bad things man...

They were compensated, they don't owe them anything. But the fact they have a good relationship makes it easy for them to do more deals.

Blonde girl on NFL network just said there is no way that a trade with the pats to move up to 9 for Jordan

 

[marchetta]

Stacey Dale, of NFL Network, just reported that potential NE deals with Cleveland or Dallas are dead. Said a tradeup to Cleveland's pick definitely won't happen. And, that NE won't trade up to Dallas' spot for Jordan.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

I know Goose said today (or was that the last time he was on with Norm) that there wouldn't be a lot of movement in the top 10.

And with no rookie scale and the usual huge salaries up there, that makes sense.

Clevelands been awfully busy....


Speaking of Jerry in the war room.....are they going to have the usual feeds in there? I want to see the board again

I call BS, if they called Dallas then no way they are dead. Right now they were just feeling each other out. When Dallas is on the clock is when things are either dead or alive.

Jordan is my #2 preference behind Smith if we stay at 9.

Very true, but that doesn't mean the trade was a bad idea. The execution ( What they did with the picks ) was terrible, but the idea wasn't bad. For example, instead of Jones and Rogers, had they picked Bob Sanders and Dornell Dockett, nobody would have been complaining today.
