Video: Knight and Anae on the trade block?

[gimmesix]

What? He Anae looked better than some of the other guys we threw out there. I wonder who's taking his spot or the reason behind this.

Well, we've got Lawrence, Gregory, Basham and Armstrong, so it's possible we don't want to keep a fifth end.

Plus Wentz can heal him.

Once again Diet Coke is spit across the room laughing.

Possibly

 

[john van brocklin]

Send them both to the Bengals, since they seem to like our ex-players. They need OL and DL.
Get whatever QB they plan to release, as it can't hurt. And oh, a 6th rounder also.

Sweet

 

[Bowdown27]

What would they even get for either of them.

 

[Jarntt]

Knight looked worse than Steele last year in several games.

Disagree, Knight was way better than Steele last year.

 

[cowboyblue22]

why would a team trade for these players when they can simple claim them when the cowboys release them

 

[RonWashington]

Farniok gets overlked I guess. He was a sneaky good pick.

He’s going to turn out much better then other picks in this draft for Dallas , very serviceable alternative at Center .

 

[John813]

What would they even get for either of them.

Late conditional picks or where another team has exceed depth of a player that they'll waive and the Cowboys don't think they could get in the waiver wire.

So, like Knight to Miami for Reid Sinnett as a hypothetical.

 

[Zordon]

Sam Young and Chaz Green are still in the league backing up. Knight just played a whole game and held up against Jags starters. Knight can play both guard and tackle and has started games last year and is young and cheap.

Yeah, scrub. Who would want him?

You can't be serious. Did you watch him play last season. He was horrid. If he's as good as you say & cheap why is on the block when the Cowboys have little to no depth behind the top 6 guys?

To avoid another team wanting to sign them or worry about contract negotiations.

 

[atlantacowboy]

We couldn't cash in these guys for a conditional 7th round pick if we packaged them.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

Trade Knight for the Jags QB Luton. He looked decent.

Who was Luton playing against?
He did look good though.

I watched him last year and, more importantly, this year. He is on the block because guards Braylon Jones and Alarcon have improved and the arrow is pointing up for them. Farniok and Ball and Steele and Nsehke make Knight expendable.

Jones and Alarcon are just as good or better at guard than Knight right now.

Steele and Farniok and Ball (probably) are better tackles right now than Knight or provide much more upside.

It is not Knight do much as the other backup players on the OL are doing better.

 

[gimmesix]

What would they even get for either of them.

Since Stephen said they are looking for TE and RB depth, I would assume it would be a backup player for backup player trade.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Jeff Cavanaugh is saying both Knight and Anae are on the trade block.

If you can get anything for those scrubs, thats a win

Depth on the OL isnt great, but Knights presence is a big reason why

Ball will most likely go on IR. I think Knight is expendable because he's behind both Nsekhe and Steele as an OT backup and behind McGovern as a guard backup. But you may be right that Farniok plays a role in making him expendable, by earning a roster spot as backup center.

We're going to keep nine or 10 linemen. We had Smith, Williams, Biadasz, Martin and Collins as the five starters. Nsekhe and McGovern as the top two backups. If we keep Steele and Farniok, that puts us at nine. Then, Ball initially takes a spot before being put on IR. We could go 11 initially, then drop to 10 if we keep Knight, but I'm not sure we want to carry 10, especially if Ball is only temporarily on IR and can be brought back.

I like Knight as a guard/right tackle better than you apparently do, but it makes sense to swap him as a backup for a backup that we need more.

True story: Kyle Wilber is still playing with Oakland. Who'd of thought that guy would be a 10 year. If you find a niche, you can keep getting checks

One worry is that the only true backup guard is McGovern right now. Knight is an OT/G, not really specializing in one or the other. That is why either Braylon Jones and Alarcon have a real good shot at making the roster.

BW Webb was still hanging around until last week or so.

Wilber made probably $10M in earnings. Not bad at all.
