If we give Irving a 1st round tender

[erod]

You are right but you know what happens to Dallas 2nd round pics right?

There's a former safety from Maryland serving his second tour in Iraq that I have my eye on.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

A first-round tender will cost $3.91 million. Do you think it's necessary to pay Irving that to keep him?

Personally, I'd take a 2nd-round pick for him right now.

Who are you going to find in the 2nd round that’s better? No way.

A first round pick or he stays.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Shouldn't that depend on the offer?

Of course. If your talking paying him 14 million per or getting a top 15 pick. Give me the pick. If your under 12 million and looking at getting one of the last 5 of the first round. Give me Irving

Demarcus Lawrence was a 2nd round pick. Charles Haley was a 3rd rounder. Tony Tolbert was a 4th.

I am all for keeping David Irving....if he stays motivated and available.

That's cute. You can have your eye on anybody all day, everyday up to the draft.
The Cowboys FO will have their eye on another Taco, or Escobar, or Gregory, etc...

I don't want a junky 20-32 pick for Irving. Then I have wait three years to see any freaking production only to find out he was a bust.

You know. Everyone will start posting : what do you expect he's a rookie just give him 2-3 years then we'll judge. In the meantime we getting beat up the middle like nerds in a schoolyard

Bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Begs the question: What is market value for Irving in terms of $$$

 

[ThatJerryKid]

I hope so.

Converting a ps player to a first rounder is crazy value.

If the 2015 draft could be re-done, David Irving would be a top 15 pick based on what is known now. You are not swapping a PS player for a 1st round pick. You are swapping a 24 year old, loaded with talent, who has single handedly taken over games in stretches over the past 2 years. You are swapping a young player who paired with DLaw could form one of the better pass rushes that we have had in a long, long time for an unproven, unknown first round pick. No thank you....

Do you think another team might try to sign him?

Does tendering open the possibility of losing him?

Should we try and lock him up long term?

If a team does give him and offer sheet, do you match or take the first round pick?

A bird in the hand is better than two in the bush.

I get the value of turning a practice squad player into a first round pick, but right now he is playing better than every first round dlineman taken this year. I suspect the same will be true next year, so why let him go for a first rounder that offers no guarantees we will actually replace his production? I think it'd be better to sign him long term and be done with it.

 

[Zimmy Lives]

I'd take the risk of losing him. Two 1st-round picks create buying power.

Draft picks are valuable commodities providing a team knows how to use them.

A first round tender would net you TWO first round picks, right?

For two first rounders, I'd consider letting him walk.

No. A first round tender is one first.

 

[LocimusPrime]

I wouldn't trade Irving for Taco and Byron Jones.

 

[Sydla]

No. A first round tender is one first.

Then yeah I am not sure id let him walk.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Then yeah I am not sure id let him walk.

For me its what value are you getting. If someone is going to throw tag money him, and you get top 15 pick back. Let him walk.

However, if they are willing to pay him market value. You match

 

[cowboyblue22]

for me I think you have to keep the better players you have on defense we don't have many

 

[Shinaoi]

He’s probably better then the first round pick would be, but depending on the spot, I would take pick for multiple reasons.

Mostly for money reasons. I’m still not sure about paying him big time. A top 15 pick we can have for the next 5 years cheap would be very nice.

 

[haleyrules]

I wouldn't trade Irving for Taco and Byron Jones.

How about Landon Collins? .

 

[Shinaoi]

At what pick does it goes from 4 to 5 years on the rookie deal?
