Jerry Jones: Cowboys won’t initiate trade talks to improve roster before deadline

[kevm3]

Word for word what we expected him to say. We already know the 2nd round ceiling of this team. The question is do you want to spend time and money on it.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

No because they live in the WISH factor, they WISH the guys they have who they love and PAID greatly will finally magically play well for them. Oh he knows and loves Gallup and thinks highly of him and that he's a great athlete while everyone who is smart knows he's struggling big time!!

Or he knows that we are juuuuust good enough to make the playoffs. Maybe win a playoff game. Then the bottom falls out, and we fans are left frustrated while he makes money. Plus, making the playoffs means more primetime games. Chaching

Cool - so you think like Jerry. Everything is perfect........ Why not just say the same thing Jerry is saying? You like the roster the way it is and don't feel any improvement is needed and leave it there.

I just don't get it!!! He said we need a fred warner kind of player lol lol lol we don't make those kind of trades, yet the eagles could in a heartbeat and would up not much as usual!

 

[fredp22]

most of the trades I've seen are for 6th and 7th round picks. Why would you not at least be actively looking at that price?

I'm starting to sound like a Jerry defender but i'm looking at our weaknesses....i'd love for them to trade for Henry. I think its stupid in theory to do but i'd do it. I just don't see many options out there for what we lack. Eagles traded for a safety. 49ers traded for Randy Gregory. Eagles need linebackers like we do but they haven't traded for one. Because there aren't any available.

You think?

Pretty sure Howie and Jeff have a slighlty different view on what breeds success to a real NFL franchise...does he not have internet at sea to read along with all of us?

I wonder one day if they could let the fans do interviews as jerry during this time of the year, oh it would be comical!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We would all know what to say lol

I think that's where Derrick Henry or Williams from the Broncos makes sense though. If we can run the ball more effectively, then that can keep the LBs we have fresher. Plus, LVE should be back in a few more weeks. So, DH or Williams can give us a fighting chance to compete in January.

Dont' do that. I never said anything about "liking" This team. This is your tactic....you get called out for your antics and then you want to deflect by saying something I never said.

Do you not think Dak sucks? Do you not think we can't win with him? Do you not think McCarthy and our coaches suck? I've seen you answer these questions.

You've said it all. So help me explain what sense does it make to trade future assets when this team doesn't have a shot at winning a ring this year or until Dak and McCarthy is gone?

Because we need more Eric Scotts!!!!

Totally agree, I wish he would just come out and tell the truth, so I can file a 10k lawsuit against him for whatever laws me and my lawyer want to come up that he broke, he's surely taken years off my life if he ever came clean lol, spent all this money on them too

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Good strategy....don't show your cards

I hope that's what Jerry is doing. I really do.

Let me go look on the yacht real quick, i'll be right back

 

[phildadon86]

Who the hell is BO?

And I don't think we don't need help. I personally don't think the help we need is out there. We need a Fred Warner type or even a Greenlaw. There ain't one available.

But all of this is moot.

I watch guys...not sure if you're one of them but I replied to one of them so i'm assuming you're in agreement with him. Sit here and tell me we will never win with Dak. We will never win with McCarthy. So why would you trade draft picks next year to help a team you don' tthink will ever contend? Its complaining to complain.

Brian burns….

never know until you try???????????? Philly has made some moves, and damn it never got them to the superbowl recently, hell they even won one. We keep on drafting duds in certain rounds, might as well just give it up

But if someone wants to talk to us about improving the roster, we are all ears. Just don’t ask Jerry to come up with the initial idea.

 

[phildadon86]

They don’t have a different view.

They just don’t have infinite job security like our FO does. When there is no accountability there is no need to improve at your job.

No I mentioned a Bosa, and I meant we don't need a Bosa, we just need a BO someone that has at least SOME talent as one of those brothers lol

I think most FOs have his mindset. He just makes it a bit more obvious. If he really wanted to win a SB (which would mean more money for him), then it's clear the trade that he has to make. Maybe it's not guaranteed to work, but I like the odds better with DH or Williams in January than without them. But maybe Jerry gets his kicks from laughing while the 49ers destroy us in the playoffs. What's a loss when we get boatloads of money?

why because he likes this team and thinks so highly of them, so high, so high
