Do we make any trades before the deadline?

There seems to be a rather large gap between guys you would not trade and guys you would trade. Not so sure the guys you would be willing to trade would get you anything other than a few coupons for a free meal a Dennys

Well...TWill did say he took LESS money to stay with the Cowboys.

Problem is normally if you want to trade for a quality player, you have to give up a quality player and most cowboys fans don't normally seem to grasp that.

They think other teams will take what they consider to be our trash player for one of their good players.

Can be amusing at times.

I'm still upset we drafted T-Williams with Keenan Allen sitting there in round 3. :facepalm:. The scouting dept needs to be revamped.

Team has a lot of picks nxet spring but you can never have too many. I'd consider moving 80% of the roster if the return was good.

I would give a 2nd for Richard Sherman. We suck at 2nd round picks anyways and we’re getting a top 5 CB for the next 3 years. Our window is 3 years if we’re going to win anything with this core(Dez,Lee,T smith) after that Dak’s rookie deal is up.

Lets just say we got Sherman and drafted a safety 1st round...

So I’d have:
LCB:Lewis
RCB:Sherman
Slot:scandrick /Awuzie
4th CB:Brown

FS:Jones/Woods
SS: 1st rounder

Maybe Gints may be stupid and desperate enough to trade TWill for Engram. Straight up.

The only trade that would help us right now is if we could get a top RT and put Collins back at LG or if we could get a starting LB with speed or a Starting cover CB.....good luck! You don't find those during the season.

Awuzie is the guy you'd better hope can play play outside CB or we need to move Jones or find another CB. Lewis is a slot guy, and like Scandrick will always be abused by taller receivers. I see Lewis as Scandrick's replacement in the slot...neither of those guys is a true outside CB.

We should but we won't. I would trade for a safety right now if I could get a decent deal. This FO won't because it would be admitting they blew the decision to anoint Jeff Heath and not address the position in the off-season.

I can't see a trade involving Williams happening although I'd be all for it. We overvalue our players. No one would give us much for him.

Awuzie has shown me nothing so far. I at least know Lewis can play. He played Fitzgerald well and Fitz is huge. Ideally you’d want your CB to be 6”00 but Lewis is a solid #2 IMO. If we had Sherman he’d follow the opposing #1’s
