read a couple reports that we may be looking into trading felix....

i am all for it....what do u guys think....

Felix Jones - Cowboys may look to trade Felix Jones

The Huddle — The Dallas Cowboys may look into the possibility of trading RB Felix Jones this offseason because they do not trust him to become a 20-carry a game running back. Huddle Up: Jones hasn't demonstrated the ability to hold up to a full workload, and with DeMarco Murray showing well as a rookie and the team infatuated with Phillip Tanner's potential the Cowboys are again flush at the running back position. They were unable to turn Marion Barber or Tashard Choice into much; perhaps they'll be more aggressive with Jones.

Although I really like the idea of Murray running 85% of the time and Felix backing him up.. I would trade Felix in a second for a solid player on defense. I think Murray and Tanner can get it done on the ground.
 
In today's NFL, running backs are worth less than a bag of expired potato chips. He's worth more to us than to anyone else.

so I guess you are saying we should have NEVER used a 1st round pick on him?

Of course not. Jerrys Pick,Jerry rules, Jerrys Game. not worth getting rid of him for what. to get what in return ? stupid run him till he dies..

Of course we shouldn't have. I'm a big felix fan but he's nothing we couldn't have gotten in later rounds.

I would do this in a heartbeat if it meant receiving solid value back in return on the defensive side of the ball where it is severely lacking in a few areas. I think Tanner could come back and prove that he is ready to hit the prime time stage as a nice alternative to DeMarco. I still think we should bring in a big short yardage beast to pound it down throats when necessary.

Call me crazy but I also like the idea that was mentioned earlier this week around moving Felix to the slot. Talk about a dangerous option that can be spread all over the field...

Garrett wanted Felix. Just so we're clear.

Is there anyone who would try to make a case against this statement?

My only question would be what people actually think the team could get in return for him?

Ray Rice was the 55th pick he is tens times better than Felix.....

Yeah Felix was not a good pick. Not a bad player, but a dumb pick at that point in such a deep RB class. It was classic "getting cute" with a pick. We had a RB that we just gave big money to and could've gotten another RB in the subsequent rounds. I'm sure there were OL and DL that could've helped us in the trenches that we passed up. Whatever. C'mon free agency!!!

I recall reading we like Matt Forte as a UFA

Having Matt Forte and Murray on the team would be insane. Forte would be getting the bulk of the carries in that situation. Forte is a freaking beast running back. We will never get him!

this is my understanding as well. I heard Wade wanted Chris Johnson and Garrett wanted Felix.

For the record, Stash wanted Ray Rice...

That's the guy I wanted that year. I knew he would be a big time RB in the NFL.
