There it is again.

Why Stephen did what he did.

What did Stephen do? Place the phone call for his dad?
You are not keeping up around here.

The last time Jerrah tried to handle a trade..

It was for Earl Thomas.

Jerrah said he would increase his offer from a 3 to a 2..

the Seahawks said..

If its Dallas calling, tell them it's now a #1.

Jerrah has been taken off the trade phones since.

For all those that had unanswered questions about the trade or why we Offered a 1st instead of a 2nd. Here’s the insider explaining on how it happened and why Stephen Jones did what he did...


We're probably mid teens. Picks "in the second" are at most a little over half the value of a 15, at the least, at little under a fourth.

Outbidding second round picks with a 15 is a huge overbid.

Is Jerry the only owner out of all the different sports owner’s to be the Owner & GM?
There’s one other- Mike Brown of the Cincinnati Bungles. That should tell you everything you need to know about the “wisdom” of having the owner also be the GM. A whopping 30 of 32 owners don’t think its a good idea. That model hasn’t worked since the 90s. Because it’s stupid.

So true, Marvin Lewis has been their coach for like 10+ years with basically no results to speak of. How him & Garrett still have a job is like one of the great world mysteries.

Irrelevant. Stephen Jones didn't make the trade. He sat on his daddy's lap and got to hold the phone.

Stephen doesn't get to sit on his lap.

It was an overpay....……...no other team in the league was offering a 1st.

Not going to biotch and moan about now, what is done is done. But dont think for a second that Dallas got a great deal here, it was a significant overpay. Time will tell if it was the correct call or not.

6 or 7 teams said OK to a 2

then teams started going to 2+

only makes sense to go to a 1 to get him

he was 4th overall pick...... just like Zeke..... he is legit

It is like we got CRidley 6 months later for next year's 1st
he is better and was a better prospect than Ridley.
