No team will trade a productive D-lineman unless they have baggage or a team offers something insane.

There are plenty of warm bodies available on practice squads but a team will have to wait until the postseason if they want quality.
I don't think that's the market right now but if they want to improve the offense there are some running backs and receivers available for trade. If they do trade I'd expect it to be on that side of the ball.

What point would it serve to give up draft capital to trade for a player. If we were to make a trade I'm hoping it's not with a premium pick, as this should have been done in the off season. If you THINK you can get a steal using a 5th, I think we could handle that better as we're most likely going to have several.

Don't fall into the pressure Jerry of trying to save face when there's no need, I'm not sure one new addition can help right this ship. Who knows, please give your thoughts!
He's not going to trade until the new HC arrives.

Jerry likes his guys, there won't be any trades so don't worry. Besides that, there are far too many holes on this team to make a trade that would make a difference
That is exactly the reason Jerry would do it. He is exactly the type of guy that would make an asinine decision like that

We absolutely need to trade for a sure thing. We can't even hit on a DT in the first round, apparently.

He should have gotten these players for money during FA. He could have signed Dak to his deal way earlier and moved money around on the cap and gotten a DT that can play. Henry was available for RB. And gotten another WR.

he didn't want to, magically now is the time to think of it when it's harder, he's better off tanking and trying next season

absolutely. let the ship sink. but when ratings dip or they start flexing the cowboys out of coverage slots, he will do something. just stacking mistake after mistake. it's the cowboys way!!
Unfortunately, I believe you are right. I'm just praying we can manage to win more than we lose this season. Never thought I would see Jerry tank a season but...

I dont expect any kind of high value trades.

This is clearly a rebuilding year. Maybe even next year. To me it was clear even before the start of the new season.
Of course JJ and his sun wont admit that because it would hurt their season ticket sales.

Maybe we will trade lower round picks (5th, 6th etc..) for young players who are going to help us down the road,

We will try to push all (as much of) our money (25 mills ?) to 2025. Just becasue of Daks cap hit we essentially have to.

Nah don’t worry.

Either a high pick next year was part of the plan all along or these two are even worse at this than I had thought.

If they are going to continue with this draft only strategy which has proven to not work, they need to find a way to accumulate more picks….Jerry would never trade a guy like Diggs, so that leaves them with getting a top 5-7 pick and parlay it into more with multiple trades down.

Maybe it’s just me hoping this quasi tank they pulled this off-season has some sort of a real plan behind it.
Jerry has made it clear for years, he would rather be mediocre and “relevant” than horrible and get a better draft position.

Unless Johnny Walker Blue has some sort of life-preserving mineral in it that I am unaware of, Jerry better do some self-reflecting on recent strategies and adjust accordingly, cause Father Time is quickly closing the gap on ol' Jerral.

Yeah I suppose, but how stubborn can they actually be by doing the same thing again and again with the same results for the same reasons?

You’d think it would click in their brains that they need to either sign decent free agents or at least get more picks somehow if they insist on counting on rookies while trying to win. The three drafts in team history that sent the team to a different level….75, 91, 05…..all had one thing in common…multiple first rounders.

Then again the kid did actually say their biggest problem is the ball not bouncing the right way in the playoffs, when that would need to happen for three entire games more than it’s happened anytime recently. I’m not thinking that’s the issue.

Good point, but what is that player really going to do especially when you should have made moves in the off season instead of being cheap and loving your guys
It would be a move for next year as well. Get the guy in this year to get things going.

I agree, but Jerry probably thinks we are one wide receiver away from super bowl #6.

Don't be surprised if he makes a bonehead trade between now and the trading deadline.
