Owner and general manager Jerry Jones said he turned down a major trade offer Tuesday.

Of course he also intimated a player was offered to the Cowboys that could have made a "now impact."

Regardless Jones decided to stand pat choosing to not get into more serious discussions with teams.

"I feel as good about what we can do this year as I did last year when I traded for Roy Williams," Jones said.

That would've been a no brainer.

Nah, We usually don't come out ahead like that on trades.

It probably involved DeMarcus Ware. I really don't see anyone else on the roster who has the potential to be a "major trade" offer. Maybe Witten or Romo. But I can't see anyone else, and definitely not the backs, as "great" as we think they are.

 

[Rampage]

we're probably better off since Jerry has been getting hosed lately in trades.

I'm not that confident in Jerrahs definition of a "now impact" player either.

i would say its either one of our young rbs either felix or choice

It was probably Ed Reed for Carpenter and he turned it down. Saying he didn't want to mess up the continuity of the defense.

He made one bad trade in recent memory.

Besides that I think they evened out, or favored us.

That one totally cracked me up!

I think you are correct.... maybe for a guy like Brandon Marshall.

It was Joey Galloway for two first round picks. Jerry considered it until he found out that Joey had already been cut by the Patriots.

The possibilities are endless. It could have been anyone calling from the Jets, Patriots, Dolphins, Browns, Bengals, Steelers, Ravens, Colts, Titans, Jaguars, Texans, Raiders, Broncos, Chiefs, Chargers, Giants, Eagles, Commanders, Saints, Buccaneers, Panthers, Falcons, Vikings, Packers, Lions, Bears, Seahawks, 49ers, Cardinals or Rams.

The trade wasn't for a Cowboys player ... it was for Cowboy draft picks.

We don't need to be giving up more draft picks for other people's garbage.

 

[DallasInDC]

Based on the wording of the post, I assume another team offered us a player most likely for picks. I would suspect it was a team that was offering an older player for multiple picks to see if Jerry would bite like he did last year.

I doubt very seriously it involved Ware. Can't see where trading him would make a "now" impact. The defense is already weak enough as it is and without Ware the Cowboys would have no pass rush at all. I would bet it involved one of the RB's. It certainly wouldn't have involved Witten or Romo. No way you go with Kitna at QB or Bennett as your feature TE. Bennett has done nothing this season.

 

[CowboyMike]

It's entirely possible that another team was offering their player for our draft picks. It does not necessarily have to be our players.

 

[Yeagermeister]

Snyder called and wanted to swap rosters

Yep, and Jerry demanded a Jack Lelanne juicer.
