Exactly. I want Boston but I would take Vacarro. Dang, right now I might even get excited about signing one of Jerry's bargain basement free agents. I need something to show our front office has a pulse.
Yup. Gotta show Seattle we aren’t only counting on Thomas. I think Earl can really help to. Go in and tell them you’re only going to Dallas. Time for him to put his money where his mouth is too
This is what boggles my mind. Thomas likely has the same trade value as Martin. So do people think the Cowboys are better off with pick #19 over Zack Martin if they had to choose?
So right champ, all this can be avoided if the Earl the third does one thing..& I wouldn't rule out someone from our organization tipping him on to this proclamation. " I won't sign an extension with no team except Dallas..other players have done it& there goes Seattle without a guarantee that interested teams wouldn't be able to get an extension, their Ransom becomes null& void. They can either keep a disgruntled employee or call Jerry back& said u were right let us get that 4th round pick u previously spoke of;'-)
People would try and counter with the safety position is different than guard, but we’ve seen plenty of safety’s play into their mid 30’s and play at a high level
Sorry about that. My mistake. It won't happen again.
Yep..ur word EXACTLY!
Elite Safeties usually play at a high level into their mid 30's. Charles Woodson made the Pro Bowl when 39. Rod Woodson 37. Though Ed Reed had a big drop off when he was 34 and Troy Palamalu 32. Thomas is 28, so I'd expect to have elite Safety play for the next 4-5 years.
We better not give up even a 2 for a player that is in the last year of his contract..
A trade doesn’t happen without the extension be agreed upon prior to. If Dallas trades for Earl it will be with 3-4 year extension involved.
Still doesn’t change that you are trading a 2 for a guy who you can sign a year from now for free.
Righteous, I've said from the beginning it's evident..it's about paperwork now, that's essentially what u were eluding to abt.. there's no activity as far as offers or inquiries with any other teams but yet they have (Seattle) spoken with several teams about him. It's never just one thing in these matters but I assume one of the things that play a factor in why it's not just so cookie cut& dry& just a simple,normal trade is the third creating that spectacle when initially got the wheels in motion by hunting Garrett down & telling him what to do on National TV on Christmas Eve.John Schneider, Paul Allen& the front office hierarchy are proud, stubborn, respectable people so their gonna chagrin on situation that their getting played or the perception is their getting played. So that's a factor in this equation, both sides don't wanna give off the impression their fleecing each other sorta say.If the third is serious about playing for us he could or better yet his representation say they will not sign an extension with any team besides us. Now the so called market he has vying for his services are dried up& are slim to none because of the respective team not having any guarantees their going to be able to extend the player, so the request of 1's &3's that they speak becomes 4's& 5's..& Maybe we'll throw in a player (Scandrick) but ultimately the third gonna be a Cowboy& that u could Trust.
