Do you make this trade with Seattle?

[Floatyworm]

Cowboys trade 2/50 and 4/116 and 4/137 to Seattle for....

3/76 and Earl Thomas?

That leaves us w/ 2 3rds....Then we go TE and WR

Comments?

 

[visionary]

No
I'm not giving up my second

 

[EMMITTnROY]

I'm hoping we can get ET with our 3rd (and maybe have to throw in a 5th).

To come out of this draft with Vander Esch, Courtland Sutton and Earl Thomas would be amazing.

 

[erod]

Yes, in a heartbeat.

OL and WR in the 3rd.

You're not giving it up. You're choosing Earl Thomas with it.

 

[ehwqkbmg]

I don't think there's any chance Seattle accepts that trade.

Even if they can't re sign him, they have one of the best safeties under contract this season and two more seasons after that he can be franchised.

Unless there's some kind of drama going on behind the scenes that nobody knows about, they're in no rush to unload him.

That is tough.... I hate giving 3 picks in a deep draft

 

[BourbonBalz]

No.

Not really

You get 4 cheap years with a 2nd round pick

You get one year of EThomas at 8.5m and a huge extension

 

[Kevinicus]

No, either keep both 4's, or the 2nd (Seattle keeps their 3rd in this case).

 

[Avery]

I tell SEA to take our third or pound sand.

Too big a gamble to trade a high pick for ET unless he signs an extension with Seattle first.

The question is, how big, salary/guarantee-wise, will that extension have to be for ET not to play out 2018 on his current deal and then test UFA in 2019?

Might not wanna lock-in on a 29yo castoff who’s guaranteed a lot of multi-year $$.

Actually, you're only giving two picks.

You're giving up a 2nd and two 4ths.

You're getting Earl Thomas and a 3rd.

In effect you traded a 2nd and a 4th for Thomas, and getting another 3rd for your other 4th.

You'd have 4 players after tonight: Vander Esch, ET, and two 3rd round picks.

Me likey.

Good gosh, HE'S THE BEST SAFETY IN THE NFL. He's not a "castoff".

Seattle is in fire sale mode.

 

[lukin2006]

If I thought were close to super bowl, then yes do it ... but I do not think we are close to championship calibre.

 

[erod]

This

You have a 0% chance of getting a player in the 2nd round remotely as good as Earl Thomas.

We also won't be paying him 11 million/year

 

[erod]

Because he won't be an All-Pro level talent.

Earl Thomas is special. He's also brilliant, and it'd be nice to have more than Sean Lee on this defense that understands this dadgum game.

 

[Sydla]

That's a tough call. I might be inclined to say yes.

Then use the 3rd round picks to grab say St. Brown and an OG like Corbett or a guy like Rankins.

Then I see if Bennie Logan's price has come down and give him a one year deal.

I've then added Logan at DT, LVE at MLB and Thomas at S. I've drastically improved my up the middle defense.
