Twitter: Fish: Cowboys tried to trade Jaylon Smith in a trade up for 6 overall

[darthseinfeld]

Agree and I also haven't closed the door on Joseph making an impact in his rookie yr. Joseph has the talent, but needs more reps and experience.

I don't think #2 or #3 is too big for him right now

 

[PhillyCowboysFan]

hmm,should have traded hin for a 7th rd pick.

Who was going to pickup that contract and that guarantee??

 

[atlantacowboy]

Jerry : We will give you our pick , 2 first round picks in future years, and Jaylon Smith
Dolphins : We will take that deal if you drop Jaylon for a can of Pringles.

i still dont understand why they cut player whos healthy and fully paid.ie no cap relief..

if i was gm im stashing him on the inactive list if injury is concern and use that 7mil LB as insurance to injuries' that could come in 17 game season with only 4 games played. He is good enough to start albeit no longer a great starter , im keeping him until we are for sure not in need of his services..i mean im not cuttings an employee i paid 7mil dollars to and hasnt warranted being cut,

if all it was was to not have to pay him for 2022 should he get inured , im against this release..

inactive, sure , stash to use in case of emergency ,yes..there are far worse players to move around or cut for roster spots then a 7mil LB.

If we traded them Dexter Coakley instead, it probably would have gotten the trade done, lol (sarcasm).

 

[Captain-Crash]

smith might have been crying about the loss of playing time, screwing up the locker room.

Or Dat Ngyen. lol

The draft gods keep saving the Cowboys from themselves.

And a lot of other teams too. Cowboys have been drafting very well. Some of it is pure luck. Just as it is for many teams.

Jaylon stinks. Let that sink in first.

If he gets hurt during practice, he still gets his guaranteed coin next year.

Jaylon would have had some mysterious surgery at the end of the year so the team could not cut him injured.

 

[Risen Star]

As usual, when the team can't do what they want to do and have to settle it turns out golden.

This defense would be so much better with one of those cornerbacks instead of Micah.

 

[Proof]

I thought Jaylon had a no trade clause in his contract?

wasn't a clause, just a fact lol

Yes sir……Dez, Lamb, Martin, Parsons, Dak……

 

[kskboys]

Jerry. You can't trade guys who are grossly overpaid. To even try it makes you look dumb.

Simple. Our backups are better than he is.

 

[CATCH17]

Sometimes you get lucky, Horn/Surtain are good prospects, but don't think either have that elite potential Parsons has.

Nearly everything about Micah Parsons and what he’s doing for us right now is based on luck.

He’s lucky to be on the team because he was their 3rd or 4th option and Lawrence had to break his foot for them to just send him at the QB constantly.

 

[CATCH17]

Simple. Our backups are better than he is.

Yeah.. It’s more like if you watch his film you wonder how he is even on the field.

Jaylon Smith isn’t NFL quality. He can’t turn or flip his hips.

 

[blueblood70]

Simple. Our backups are better than he is.

more simple

hes paid in full

these players that are better can land on the clist and or get hurt..insurance you can stash him on inactive list until the end if the seaosn..it cost us nothing but a roster spot and there are plenty of low hanging fruit worse then JS that can be cut..

 

[DanTanna]

wasn't a clause, just a fact lol

Jaylon actually has a "No tackle at the LOS" clause that teams don't agree with.

 

[kskboys]

Holy Larry, tried to trade him in a trade up?

Here's the deal. Fans can suggest ludicrous deals, it's expected. However, the GM and his cohorts cannot. Makes them lose all credibility and can hurt them in a big way in future trade attempts. Jerry. Just stop.

It's amazing anyone considers you "football smart".
