Jetswire: Jets should call Cowboys about trade for DLaw

[sbark]

Depends what they think they have in taco, tapper, Gregory, Armstrong......even keep Crawford in the mix, some snaps to d.irving

A risk either way, but can't shrug off a great offer either

 

[Aviano90]

I would trade Dlaw to the Jets for 2 first round picks all day, every day.

A few things I would have to consider:

1. Do I think the Cowboys will be serious contenders this year?
2. Would adding ET improve those odds?
3. Will the team add ET?
4. Am I willing to pay DLaw $20 million per season next year?

If I am not going to commit to DLaw (which the team wasn’t willing to do) and I don’t think the team has a great shot at making a run (or making a move to give them a better shot) then trade DLaw. It’s getting value back instead of letting yet another player walk away with nothing to show for it in return.

 

[waving monkey]

We aren’t looking to get better

what?

 

[big dog cowboy]

If an official trade offer was made from the Jets involving two 1st round picks for DLaw it would be difficult to turn down. Also worth considering is the Jets draft in the top 18 picks since they typically don't make the playoffs.

The Cowboys have tons of cap space next year but this would also insure it would be easier to keep their own FA's.

Tough decision but I'd take the deal. Four 1st round draft picks in the next 2 years sounds awesome to me. Then I'd call Seattle and get Thomas here ASAP.

 

[CPanther95]

Two firsts?

Don't be silly.

 

[ologan]

Nah. He gets too much money. We need to win the salary cap championship.

Hmmm....I love the smell of sarcasm in the morning!

 

[Flamma]

They would have to be. 2 top 15 first round picks and then pay the guy 18 million a season? They would have to be really dumb.

This is what the patriots do it. Once a guy gets really greedy they trade him away for more picks. This is how they stay good for a long time.

I agree 100%. I think it would be dumb for any team to do. I'm not sure why more teams don't use the non exclusive franchise tag. You never know when you'll get a bite. Someone might be dumb enough.

If the Jets offered two first round picks I would do it in a heartbeat.

They are bound to have a putrid season this year or next year or maybe both.

 

[dogunwo]

Lol. Fans want to trade a young, proven pass rusher for a CHANCE at a young pass rusher.

 

[Jipper]

Lol. Fans want to trade a young, proven pass rusher for a CHANCE at a young pass rusher.

Technically they want to trade for a chance at TWO young pass rushers....

2 first round picks in the top 15 next two years would give us a big time safety net in case dak flames out....

I love dlaw but in reality he has had 1 food season and cost a 2nd and a 3rd....if you could flip him for 2 top 15 firsts it's a no brainer even if he plays at the same level for the next few years.

 

[charleshaleyfan94]

I would offer a 1st to Oakland for Mack and a 3rd next year for Thomas. Front office has thrown these picks away in the past. Worth it to know what you are getting have a chance at the big dance THIS year! I think Thomas has 3-4 excellent years left.

 

[charleshaleyfan94]

Lol. Chaz Green is a contract we like to give out...a “prove it” deal.

Chaz Green has become the Leon Lett of the OL. He'll never live it down. Trade or release him. It's the most merciful thing the front office can do at this time. They can never put him in a real football game again. Why is the front office making EVERYONE continue to suffer in this situation?

They should have quietly made the transition in the offseason without attention

 

[pugilist]

lmao are you kidding me, 2 firsts???

take that and RUN

How can you say they have thrown away the picks? Dallas has been one of the best drafting teams in the 1st round for the past 5 to 6 years....Smith Fred zeke Jones Martin to name a few

Indeed.

Plus if D Law was traded that would free up cap space as well.

 

[charleshaleyfan94]

Me too. But would the Jets be dumb enough to do it?

DLaw is awesome. Would not even consider it. We need our playmakers on D!

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

The only player I'd entertain on that team is Josh McCown.

what about the other 18 years??

LOL prove he doesn’t blow? Whoever stamped that pick needs the rubber hose treatment.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Remember DLaw almost single handily destroyed our entire OL last week in practice. Seem only injuries can keep him from a monster year. Of course, that would also mean the floor of his 2019 contract neg would probably be $20M.
