This is simply fantasy as our front office has been beyond conservative… Still, I wonder how everyone’s opinion of our off-season would change if we were able to trade up and pick Evan Neal (if he slipped outside of the top 5) to be our plug and play Guard/future LT (2022 1st and 3rd, 2023 1st) and then trade a 2022 2nd for Debo Samuels. Would this make us more potent than last year? Would we be a better team? I very much recognize that this is fantasy, as our front office has literally done squat.

Yup sure is a fantasy as there is no way the Niners would give up just a 2nd for Debo. They were want at least a 1st and in this scenario we don’t have if since we traded it away for Neal.

Front office has done lots of things. Actually quite incredible what they have done considering we were 25 million over the cap when this all started.

I still get a kick out of the cry babies crying before we even have the draft and finish FA.
 
Do Not trade away future 1st round picks for any player. Unless you want a can't miss pick on a franchise QB, such as Joe Burrow or a similar QB.

Of course that will not happen right now. Though many would want it to happen. :laugh:

Do you have any idea what it would take to trade up to get Neal. You would have nothing left to trade for Debo. Close thread. Bye and thank you.

Debo Sanders?
 
It’s my opinion that a special LT is the second most important position on the field. As for the team doing special things, I’m praying something happens between now and the start of next season because we have clearly regressed.

You do know Debo is looking for a $25M per year deal, right?
 
Either or, as trading for one will cost a pretty penny(1sts).

I could see this team trading up for a Left Tackle, but I don't think it'll be that high.
Penning or Cross should make it to the late teens, and IIRC Dallas-per twitter rumors are high on Penning.

Obviously, our opinion of the cowboys off season changes with the facts. If we move up for Tyron Smith's replacement and sign Deebo Samuels somehow, now we are making progress and adding to the talent on the roster. Right now, we are running a deficit and the team looked better in January than it does right now.

He would provide us with a beast in the slot plus a guy who can play running back. He is the ultimate chess piece. Signing a contract would be based on the cowboys agreeing to terms beforehand.
 
More realistic that you give up a 2022 1st and 2nd for Debo, then hope you can land Oline round 3.

The Cowboys are clearing the books though, and Debo wants a new deal and to be paid top WR money. The Cowboys have to look at new deals for Lamb, Diggs, Dak the next couple years, then Parsons right after that. Taking on a huge contract + giving up multiple picks seems unlikely for this team. If that were an option we would have seen more movement in free agency. Instead, they have done nothing as all the top guys needed multi year deals.

I actually don’t see anyone giving up a first and second for a 25 million per year contract he will want.

The best part is fans thinking we have to or that we can fill every hole in every offseason.

naw. just rather not create more holes unnecessarily and then sit through the first wave of free agency with said holes

I don't either, but I lean more towards that is why he wont get moved more so than the 9ers will come down on their demands. He has a year on his current deal, and can be franchised the next two. Samuel and the 9ers are in a lose lose situation unless they figure this one out.

Unlike fans like you, the Cowboys actually have to worry about little things like the salary cap. They also have to think about things other than THIS year.

All the cuts they made were spot on in that regard.

Trading Cooper didn't make a hole and neither did cutting Collins. But no doubt some fans are crying like it did.
