How does this make any sense?

BH, weren't you one of the majority here in full support of Jerry's Trey Lance trade to Dallas?

Someone supported that?

I made the Trance argument the first hour of the trade. It was the dumbest move I have seen Jethro make in a sometime.

How about this one? How do we even know if we can't afford him, if we never picked up the phone and asked what the price was to begin with???

How did Jerry know we could afford Trance???

Drafting Schooner in the 2nd was dumber.

Derrick Henry dodged a bullet. He has a real shot at a championship and he would've never had that here.

That he does lol

I don’t feel like I was lied to, if we signed Henry, it would’ve been fine with me, just like it’s fine with me that we didn’t.
It is what it is. The team has to play with the hand dealt them.

It was not dealt to them. It was not a random shuffle. It was chosen, and selected by GM Jethro.

Cowboys fans have been told multiple lies this off-season by Jerry and Stephen Jones. None more blatant than the lie, “We couldn’t afford Derrick Henry”. Absolute falsehood. Several contracts could have (should have) been restructured to free up space

Heres my bigger point: It’s even simpler than that. Look at this comparison of Derrick Henry’s contract with Balt to a particular Cowboys player:

• Derrick Henry: In 2024, Henry will earn a base salary of $1,210,000 and a signing bonus of $7,790,000, while carrying a cap hit of $5,105,000
• Trey Lance: In 2024, Lance will earn a base salary of $1,055,000 and a roster bonus of $4,255,714, while carrying a cap hit of $5,310,714.

So we have 3rd string QB Trey Lance, who has yet to be active for a game this year, and would have only been eligible to play if Dak and Cooper Rush were to be injured, having approximately the same cap hit as Derrick Henry this year. Our FO somehow thinks holding on to Trey Lance is worth the same as the NFL’s leading rusher.

How does any of this make sense? So we have Trey Lance at a cap hit of $5.3 mil to sit on the inactive list while we watch Derrick Henry destroy NFL defenses for a $5.1 mil cap hit.

Pure lunacy.

Trey Lance is a Phenom and we're lucky to have him...........

Yes, he will be sorely missed next year.
