Jerry Jones open to trading 2016 first-rounder

[ufcrules1]

There really arent any RBs out there I would give up a first round pick for. Corner back, I would consider, to me that is a much bigger concern then RB.

Last year we dominated BECAUSE of the run game and now we have scrubs back there. RB is the biggest position of need. Our CB's will do fine now that we actually have a legit defensive line that will be wreaking havoc on the QB's. If a QB has all day to throw, the job of a CB is extremely difficult. Last year it was tough for a CB's and then still did ok. Will be totally different this year.

I'd say DT.

In my view that's the biggest need on the team.

I gotta say that I do not understand this mindset that the running game is all about the running backs.

Jerry tried ensuring another SB run with the Galloway trade and that ended up ugly.

Jerry tried ensuring another SB run with the Roy Williams trade and that ended up ugly.

Have we not been down this road before? The year we traded for Galloway we were not one player away from a super bowl.

When we did the Roy trade we were not even remotely close to making it to the super bowl.

The team we have right now, is very close to making a super bowl. We were the #3 team in the NFC last year CLOSELY behind GB and Seattle. We are extremely close to winning a super bowl. When you are this close, you go ALL IN. Jerry was an idiot trading the farm for Galloway and Williams. This situation is apples and oranges different than those. I don't care about Romo getting a ring.. I care about my Cowboys winning another super bowl.

We were non competitive in the past due to over paying sorry veterans when we weren't remotely close to a super bowl.

Not to exceed $10 mill annually?

LOL!

So what young players do you no longer want to be Cowboys when their contracts expire because the Cowboys will not have the cap space to accommodate them?

You would have well over $40 million in cap space tied up into 3 players... 2 of them over 30.

Not good.

10-12 mil, whatever the case may be. The contract would have to be re-worked. My point is there would have to be some compromise on Peterson's part. If he wants a trade out of Minnesota, that's the only way it can happen whether it's to Dallas or not. The question is how badly does he want out of Minnesota?

I'm not going to sit here and even begin to analyze what our cap situation may be even 2 years from now. There are way too many variables. But to your point, it's naive to believe the Cowboys will keep all of their young talent together beyond their 1st contracts, whether a big addition like this is made or not. That should not be the reason you don't take a calculated risk you sincerely believe puts the team in very good position to contend for the next 3 years.

I never said it was about RB's only. Not sure why you would even say that. They are both equally important. Let me try this another way for you.

2014 Outstanding Oline AND Outstanding RB to take advantage of that outstanding Oline. (Had an Amazing year at 12-4)

2015 Outstanding Oline Scrub RB Mcfadden completely unreliable, has played only one full season since 2008. Are we really going to put our season on the line with him as our starter?

Murray isnt the only reason the running game was dominant. A big reason the running game was dominant was because they put a hat on a hat and owned the LOS and because we have Romo and Dez so teams cant just load up to stop the run. Murray is a good running back, but there is enough talent on this roster at RB to get the job done.

I agree that Peterson would have to give– a lot.

Sorry I don't see him being the back in 2015 when he had his last great season which was 2012. I had him on my fantasy team in 2013 and he wasn't nearly as good a running back.

Before 2014, that "Outstanding RB" was never called outstanding.

Smarten up people, it's the OL.

You don't need the best RB in the league to run through holes 10 feet wide.

Before 2014 he was considered a very good RB. You are wrong about that. Nobody said we needed the best RB but we damn sure need a very good one. Romo is not Brady.

lol about the fantasy comment. Keep in mind he was on a horrible team with a horrible... wretched QB. It is very hard to succeed behind that.

What good is an amazing offensive line if you don't have a RB to take advantage of it?

What good is an amazing offensive line if you don't have a RB to take advantage of it?

And how do you know there isn't one?

 

[EMMITTnROY]

Obviously the offensive line is incredibly important. That's a given.

But anyone else remember what our running game looked like with that amazing 90's offensive line when Emmitt was out? Not very good. When our biggest strength, the running game, got hampered by our stud RB being out, we lost. Period.

 

[EMMITTnROY]

And how do you know there isn't one?

How do you know there is?

And therein, that's our problem. We don't know. It's risky. AD takes away that risk.

AD's no sure thing either.

It's not like he's 25 and coming off of a 1,500 yard season.

Peterson would make a huge difference in how the opposing defense can gameplan, he has not lost the rare power great vision and instincts.

Adrian Peterson would open up the rest of the field to sic options with Dez because he would be SINGLE COVERED on virtually every series. It is potentially league changing and as long as Dallas is healthy mind blowing for opposing Coordinators trying to contain.

The money isn't an issue, AD has stated that he would take a pay cut to be in Dallas, Stephen has stated there really isn't a Salary Cap problem he can't circumvent.

Exactly. It would be a total waste to have an outstanding running game and scrub running backs behind it. I don't think any of us want to go back to Tony throwing the ball more.
