Jones-Drew Avail for 5th or 6th rd pick

[yimyammer]

what would his contract cost Dallas? Aside from the issues of which draft pick it would require and how good he still is, could they even afford to pay him given their cap constraints?

If the Cowboys would have to pay the prorated portion of whatever time he was on their roster for his current contract then I think this safely renders this conversation moot:

This season, in the final year of this contract, Jones-Drew is expected to make $4.95 million. When the season concludes, he will be an unrestricted free agent

Nah - RB's are a dime a dozen these days and MJD doesn't really make us any better.

I think WR's are a dime a dozen now - IMO

Tell that to Brady.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Nope. Our RBs are fine. Offensive line is the issue. People need to realize that.

Our OL is much improved and Murray is number 3 in yards

 

[SilverStarCowboy]

Jones Drew is a bowling ball, worth a 5th all day long.

I think you are so wrong it's almost laughable.

Nope. Our RBs are fine. Offensive line is the issue. People need to realize that.

What people need to realize is neither are the issue. We have a running back (Murray) averaging almost 5 yards a carry. The issue is for some reason, we just don't run the ball much.

OL is likely the most improved unit this offseason. It's comical to read people blaming the line.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

For a 6th heck yes

 

[crashintonickdm]

yes please.

 

[pjtoadie]

Now that Murray is hurt yet again maybe we should look at getting MJD for a 5th or 6th?

 

[dallasdave]

6th round -yes

 

[Bullet22]

Ben Tate...

 

[RamziD]

Lol. Murray gets hurt pretty much on cue.

 

[durrrr]

but a fourth rder can't beat out two FA'S

I wish JERRY would have gotten off his a*** and gotten Lacy and Fred

Wow, no.

 

[DogFace]

If Murray's hurt we should seriously consider it.

 

[coult44]

I'd do it, even for a 4th. What would it really mean, another TE, a scrub DB, or a rookie RB. We're definitely not using that pick on a DL.....

yep: bump for another murray boo boo....MJD for a 6th would be NICE

 

[BigD5]

Call MJD's agent and jacksonvilles GM and offer our 6th rounder for next year tonight.

Even though he'd only be for the rest of this yr he would help our running game a ton.

He is still a great RB. His problem is Jacksonville is horrible

 

[cowboys1981]

I wouldn't mind MJD. I love Murray, but I can't trust his durability.

 

[coult44]

I wouldn't mind MJD. I love Murray, but I can't trust his durability.

I can't love anyone who hurts us every year with another injury.....
