Terence Newman has had one major injury in 6 years, one, and you are looking to trade him? It was a stroke of bad football luck. A dude fell on him in a non-contact drill. Stuff can happen in football if you play long enough.
I guess if you call someone "injury prone" after a baseline of one year, you could get lucky and say "I told you so".
Your BFF, Bill Parcells, stated that Terence Newman is one of Dallas' very, very best players in a press conference.

I missed this one.
One major injury in 6 years, Alexander, one.
He played through a banged up knee in 2004 and put up the second of his back to back 5.8 YPA.
You fail to acknowledge that Newman made the Pro Bowl in 2007, finally got his due.
Terence Newman didn't miss any games in 2006, so you are reaching there, too.
You should be concerned about getting rid of some more of Bill Parcells' terrible players that are still on this team.
Pat Watkins
Cory Proctor
Bobby Carpenter
Pat McQuistan
Did Bill Parcells state that Pat McQuistan "could be your future LT"?
That's funny.
This is perhaps the third thread you've said the same thing in. We get it. If Newman shook your hand, you'd never wash it again.
Apparently, you seem to believe that a
major injury is all that counts.
No, it doesn't. In fact, nagging injuries that keep him out of nine games in the past two seasons is more of a concern. The very definition of injury-prone doesn't require a
major injury. A couple of
major injury occasions, a player's career is over anyways.
I did not see people around here stop labelling people like Austin and Burnett as injury prone and they missed even less time than Newman and show even less of a continual repetitive cycle every season. Why should Newman be exempt? Because you have ten jerseys?
And when I discussed each year, I refered to the fact that every offseason, something happens. This is the third straight year. A hamstring here, a quad there, a foot here, an ankle there. Its repetitive.
I won't even mention it was your boyfriend who decided to play hurt in the Washington game and be a liability as Santana Moss whipped him up and down the field. Sorry, no points from me for being foolish.
And since Coach Parcells is such an idiot and his horrible players are still on the team, why should anyone buy his evaluation that Newman is one of the best players on the team? So is Parcells an imbecile or not? Make up your mind.
Don't worry, I am not going into a "Newman sucks" diatribe or besmirching the image of your favoritististist player ever.
I am simply saying if he repeats this injury cycle again this year, misses another quarter of the season, I would hope we look into unloading him while he still has value. Why on earth should we pay him the salary he is receiving and get if fortunate 12 games of actual production?
