James Conner?

Just bring AD in for a workout. He ain't been retired that long. Besides, he's wanted to be a Cowboy for years.

If we wouldn’t pay Zach Moss $4m, what makes you think we’d give up a draft pick for a guy who makes more?

They are rebuilding and Conner is getting older

Agreed, but also encouraged to see he's only 28 if we did get him. I thought he was older.

Just review his contract.......to be honest, with an $8M+ cap hit, they may release him

Good post! I'd be shocked if they don't release him. Just like Gallup, no one is trading for that contract.

Really good point.

Make a trade after the draft like Cooks and Gillmore last year.

 

[Beaker42]

That is a great idea. I appreciate ideas like this. He runs really hard, catches well, physical and great in the red zone. I would love this idea.

This would make PERFECT SENSE FOR US - which is why we won’t do it.

Gallup is a bigger financial commitment vs Conner who's got 1 year left. If the Cardinals traded him they would eat the 3 million in dead money so actual cost to the Cowboys would be about 5.9 million for the season. He's better/more accomplished than Zack Moss who got 4 million so I don't think his contract is that crazy. On the open market he likely signs somewhere between 5 and 7 million anyway.

It would make more sense to draft a rb and have him 4 years cheaply.
