It's Fish........you decide if it's true (lol)

Does he mean Trysten Hill? He was a second round pick

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

I don't mind that we didn't make that move, but it does mean we are going to be operating on a razor thin edge. If CeeDee goes down for a prolonged period of time, it means we're trotting out Gallup, Brown and Washington.

 

[Manster_Mash]

I sure hope that's not true.

If so, it's laughable. Gave away a 10X better WR who is younger and making nearly equal salary for a 5th round pick. The worst move in recent memory.

If came from him, do not believe it.

I don’t think the reason for letting Cooper go was a talent vs salary issue.

LOL, here come the could of and should of and what if and how come and who cares.....personally glad it wasn't done if this is true. Has an $18m guaranteed for next season...LOL....probably the Cowboys wanted it paid by the Texsuns. No way Jose.

Who are the Eagles trotting out if AJ Brown gets hurt. Who are the 49ers trotting out if Debo Samuel gets hurt. I understand your concern but you can make this argument for almost every team in football if WR #1 goes down.

2nd round pick....in 2030.

 

[Havic]

Texans are crazy for not taking a 2nd and eating his cap hit.

 

[RoboQB]

I'm putting this in the category of
"Sometimes the best trades are the ones not made."
(Or, something like that, lol.... you get the drift.)

From what we know the money was the hold up though. If Houston would have paid a significant chunk of his contract it may have gotten done.

 

[Kingofholland]

This forum would be burning it down if that was the actual trade.

 

[Risen Star]

I wouldn't be surprised if Fish was the mediator in the negotiations.

True but it may have been a 2024 2nd........

If this happens, might as well bring TJ Vasher back and see if he can help.

 

[Miller]

One of the responses said Houston radio was saying Dallas wanted to give second and they cover cap hit or we take on money and no second.

I’m glad this didn’t happen

 

[stiletto]

They hated Amari Cooper enough to trade a 2nd round pick for a guy that is like 2-3 years older and maybe just as good or less? They must have really hated Amari Cooper. Wow.

But...but...but...Brown is our best blocking WR.

I try to watch his videos/commentary but I just can't get through them. What a horrible person/persona to be associated with the Cowboys in any way. He definitely hurts the brand. Terrible.
