If we give Irving a 1st round tender

[haleyrules]

Never wise to let that kind of defensive talent leave. He has real on the field value and the Cowboys should make an honest effort to sign him.

 

[LocimusPrime]

How about Landon Collins? .

Brother. Why do you do that to me lol

 

[Stash]

He's good, but I just don't trust him.

I don't trust him either, but that doesn't mean I would be foolish about how to handle him.

I think the OP is spot on with concerns that the guy might be pursued even with a first round tender on him, much less a lower one.

And, given what this team's defensive tackle situation now looks like thanks to numerous misses and mistakes, that's not a position where I would be eager to open up more holes, with even more questions to answer.

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

Yeah I could see that. I just assume a team willing to do that would be picking in the 20s. A team close to playoff or a SB run looking to fortify their DL.

Now if a team with a Top 12 pick wants him...... Yeah, that changes things.

 

[Zimmy Lives]

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

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

Yes; your own (Cowboys) and the one received for Irving.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

We have 2 studs on the DL playing at a pro bowl level. Both are under age 25. This front office would be insane letting any of the 2 walk.

 

[Shinaoi]

With the extra pick, we could add two new trench players for the next five years. And then pay someone else in fa with the money you would have given him. It would be like getting a player in fa at his value, and then the extra pick. Which is a gamble, but if you win on the gamble huge hit.

I'd trade b jones for a first right now. Yes I know it's controversial but that's how I roll

That wouldn't be controversial, that would be a coup.

 

[LocimusPrime]

Tank and Irving should be the cornerstones of our Dline. Similar to what the giants have in Vernon, jpp, and snacks.

We should build around them instead of blowing up the line and starting all over again with only tank. The rest of the line is junky.

 

[LocimusPrime]

That wouldn't be controversial, that would be a coup.

Of course it would.

I said I would trade taco for a second right now. Someone disagreed. Would you do that or not ?

 

[LocimusPrime]

Absolutely. But Im cray cray.
I'd trade away taco for a second and jaylon for a second.

 

[Baileyneverfailey]

Irving is a 24 year old D lineman with double digit sack potential. If we re-sign he and DLaw our defensive line is set for years other than needing a bigger body at 1 tech.

I think the move is to try to sign him long term to a deal that is attractive to him and the team, and if that doesn't work, you give him the 1st round tender and see just how much somebody is willing to offer.

 

[Shinaoi]

Absolutely. But Im cray cray.
I'd trade away taco for a second and jaylon for a second.

So would I. We could have a stacked draft.

So would I.

 

[LocimusPrime]

I said I would trade taco for a second right now. Someone disagreed. Would you do that or not ?

Yes but let me clarify. I don't forsee taco being that good. That's not saying he won't but my gut says no just from what I've seen.

 

[Shinaoi]

I would take a 3rd round pick for Jones.

 

[haleyrules]

Absolutely. But Im cray cray.
I'd trade away taco for a second and jaylon for a second.

Absolutely. Good call.

 

[haleyrules]

Yes but let me clarify. I don't forsee taco being that good. That's not saying he won't but my gut says no just from what I've seen.

Yep. He's young but it seems he is limited.
