Then watch him go to LA and have a 15 sack season? If this forum isn’t miserable enough already
Irving is the most talented interior lineman in the NFL short of Donald, that's worth the entire 2009 draft and then some tbh.
Marcus Davenport,DE-Utsa....a 6'7 DE with his head screwed on right....I'll take it.
My plan: tender Irving at the second round level, let him walk and take the pick.
Cut Dez, then use the bonus second round pick to trade up for Calvin Ridley.
I know I'm dreaming, but this would be awesome IMO.
Talk about stupidity, letting Irving walk for a 2nd rounder!! Irving compares extremely favorably to all the top DT. I know Jerry does not value defense the way he does offense( they put on a good show ),but we have the making of a very good, if not dominant D, if we can just keep our core guys( Hitch and Irving ) and possibly add a player or to in the draft or free agency. Platinum gold guarantee: if we allow Irving to walk he will lead the league in sacks and pass deflections for his new team. Bonus guarantee: if Hitch is allowed to walk he will lead his new team in tackles. This D has the making of something special!!! Keep it together and add a player or 2.I think the position of the team is pretty simple, at least from what I've observed. If we get a 2nd, he's gone. If we don't, we are going to leverage his stupidity into a more team friendly contract.
Simple as that, to me.

Why? Did you see his stats last year for half a year ? Better than most top DT’s who played the whole year.And no one is giving up a first round pick for Irving.
It's not just a 2nd round pick.Dallas has had a hit or miss with a second round picks. Give me the player that is arguably more of a play maker than Demarcus Lawrence. To me it’s just stupid that they are thinking of moving on from him.
Sydia-- after listening to some comments regarding this issue i too have changed my view of possible severity of the concussion issue with Irving.The talent is useless if he gets another concussion. And given the severity of his one last year, he has a greater chance of getting one in the future.
It’s a situation that i believe has the Cowboys hesitant.
Sydia--- personally i strongly feel Irving is drastically under rated...i thought initially when we got him in 2015 because of his heigth that he would have either neck or back issues...but so far never heard anything that says he does?And no one is giving up a first round pick for Irving.
mr xwalker----- your photo of dallas line annhilating the seahawk line and Murray driving a semi through it as he runs the ball is still pricelessIt's not just a 2nd round pick.
Long term it's either Irving at 12+ million per year or a 2nd round pick AND a free agent at 12+ million per year.
It might be a choice of Irving or one of these options:
A: 2nd plus top free agent 1-tech
B: 2nd plus DE Ansah
C: 2nd plus top free agent WR
mr Wood--- i cannot disagree with you...but i was hoping maybe a better tailored made coaching influence might mitigate off field concernscomes down to reliability. I agree he definitely flashes but buyer beware on those type of players. My sense is that Irving will be productive on field but miss time due to assortment of random and non-random events.
Getting rid of your most productive DL for a second round pick AND THEN using that pick to trade up for a player that will likely need time to immediately contribute sounds like my nightmare.I know I'm dreaming, but this would be awesome
