The Cowboys aren't one player away.
He would be a nice addition but it's too much draft capital and money for him.

The old asking price was a 1st and 2 2nd's but he's lost a year of his contract since then.
I'd absolutely give up this year's 1st round pick and pay his salary.
Jamal Adams is 24 years old and he's already the best safety in the league. Going from Jeff Heath + Xavier Woods to Adams + Haha Clinton-Dix is like going from Chad Hutchinson to Roger Staubach.
The Cowboys have the salary cap room to sign him. So removing money from the equation, would you rather have Jamal Adams, K'Lavon Chaisson or Xavier McKinney? Pretty easy choice for me.
Now if any of CeeDee Lamb, Javon Kinlaw or CJ Henderson, are there at 17, you take one of them. But if they're all gone, which is likely, then I'd make the call if all it took was this year's 1st.
Would gladly send them pick 17 for Adams. Chances are the board will completely suck by our pick
You guys are using the Cooper trade as an example of what not to do. But Cooper revitalized our offense (and our QB!) and that's what kept us competitive for the past two years.
This could be a rare chance to get one of the league's best young players, and a far superior player to anyone who'd be available at 17
"Competitive"? Is that what 8-8 is now? And losing to every team we face with a winning record? Is that 'success' to you?
What it is is giving up too much in draft assets for the privilege of setting the salary market for a strong safety.
Which is dumb.
That's because our defense sucked ***. We scored points and should've been able to win games.
Remember what our offense was like without Cooper? I think we were getting maybe a TD a game with the likes of Hurns and Beasley
Yeah, we didn't get to the Super Bowl, but with Cooper, we were may more competitive than we would've been
If it was just the 17th pick I would be all for it but the article states the 17th and the seconded in 2020 & 2021. That’s completely ridiculous and absurd.
Not against good defenses they didn't.
Yes, and we know exactly why it happened too. Because the team allowed their idiot coaches to chase off the receivers they did have and bring in a bunch of stiffs. They allowed a failed offensive coordinator to blame everyone but himself, before they wised up and fired him two years too late.
Which shows that it wasn't some brilliant move that should now be repeated. It did not ultimately lead to overall success.
One thing to keep in mind, after Dak's deal is done, we have no more major ones coming up for a while.
No one thing will result in immediate success. We're building a team, and it takes 22 guys.
Adams is a superior prospect to the people available in this draft. Therefore, trading that 1st for him gives us a better player, better team, and better chance of success.
In no scenario would I give more then that 1st round pick. That would be insane
Not to derail this thread. But the way the salary cap keep jumping, who knows. I'm talking, oh I don't know just to throw a number out there, say 10-12 years from now. It could happen.Let me know when they do away with the cap.
That would be extremely shocking. They really like him and they need CB's. He's a lock to get extended unless he wants B. Jones type money.wouldn't be shocked to see us move on from Chido and trade him during the draft.

Something about it came across my Facebook news feed but I ignored it.
I hope not.....they're doing for the moon plus he's another one that wants to be the "highest paid" .......you can't have an entire roster of divas that think they should be the highest paid.
Yeah this is stupid. The point of drafting a solid players in the first round is having a 5 years of cost control on a talented asset.Anyone hearing anything about this?

AND not to mention Chido had a rough year in 2019. Not real inspiring. So dunno how anyone can think hes a lock.If anything, he might be replaced with a potentially better cb and one that will be playing on a 4 year rookie contract. Chido will demand to be paid. I don't see that. I think we will draft 2 corners within the first 4 rounds.I disagree, I think this entire secondary (outside of Brown obviously) are on one year prove-it deals, with the team evaluating anyone and everyone to see if they fit into the team's long term plans.
