Fletcher Cox & Mychal Kendricks

[XDez88BeastX]

There has been Rumors both men are on the trading block, but both are also on their final year of their contracts. Would you make a trade for both guys & what do you think Chip would want for them? Obviously pick 27 would be involved but what else would it take to get two players on the last year of their contracts?

Giving up anything significant for player in the final year of their contract is not a good idea.

There is no possible way that it would be worth pick #27 even for both of them.

In the modern NFL under the current CBA, good teams either use draft picks on inexpensive players or they use a large amount of cap space on premium veterans but they don't do both.

A team will quickly lose the ability to have a quality roster under the salary cap if they give up picks for players that require a huge amount of cap space.

Anybody in their right mind would flip the 27th for Fletcher Cox. That alone wouldn't touch him though.

Im kind of thinking Chip Kelley isnt in his right mind though. So that helps

Cox also has a 5th year option (granted we'd need to trade before the deadline) also it would give us the power to negotiate extensions during the year. Also if we lose one or either of them in free agency we would likely get 3rd or 4th round comp picks in the future for them. Just throwing that info out there

The Cowboys rarely seem to get much in terms of comp picks. I don't put too much into that because if you sign a free agent then it offset the comp pick.

The 5th year option helps; although, it is not cheap. It is a little cheaper than the Franchise Tag for players that were picked 11-32.

You will have to offer them a contract at Market Value or spend a first round pick to rent a guy for one year ?

They are on the trading block only in the sense that they are rumored to be part of a package that the Eagles could use to move up to get Mariota. So essentially, they are valuing them as #1 pick type players.

No thanks.

This is true but does not necessarily hold true for true difference makers
Cox is one of the 2-3 best DL and is very young
I would take him over hardy
I would give up the 27 for Cox and then sign him long term and let hardy walk after this year
A DL of Lawrence, Crawford, cox and hardy would be sick this year

There are certain rules that good teams following. Making exceptions to the rules to make a big splash is what Jerry tried for years and it failed.

No GM in the NFL would do that, unless it came with a contract extension that was cheaper than they could get him for next offseason.

Plus, Fletcher Cox is hugely overrated.

You could also argue that Kendricks is underrated.
