Maybe the right move is to trade Micah

[GMO415]

If DAL doesn't get a multiple draft trade then it will take approximately four-five years to amass elite talent.

Parsons only has value for teams that play from ahead. On a bad team he’s a liability. You could possibly trade him to the Lions now with their situation but you’re getting a 28th-ish overall pick.

It’s easier to find a QB than a impact DT.

Cleveland Browns have entered the chat.

Parsons is almost bottom in the league against the run. Nobody is giving up multiple firsts for someone who is on skates against the run every game.

I posted this last week. I bet the Flacons would give a up haul for him. They are one pass rusher away from being a serious contender.

No they would not.

No one will give up draft capital for Parsons. Not Atlanta, not Detroit, not any team. There will be no “haul”. Some team might be willing to part with a 2nd if the Cowboys send a 3rd round pick with Parsons. Even that is unlikely. And no one will consider adding him unless they have a deal in place beforehand. If it’s just the balance of the season and his expensive 5th year, as the Cowboys picked up his 5th year option, Dallas could get’ at best, a 4th round pick for him. And they only have 20 days to come up with any kind of deal.

Exactly. There are PeeWee football players who play better against the run.

I’ve never been a fan of this idea and not even sure that I am right now but the Cowboys are in big big trouble with Dak and some of the other veterans they paid.

We have so many holes and a front office that does nothing to improve in free agency.

I think anyone that can be traded for valuable picks has to be considered.

We have no RB’s, WR’s are mediocre, holes on the OL coming up, front 7 on defense is atrocious, and Diggs is only good against the pass.

Also, this offense goes through Dak’s arm and that’s just not a winning recipe.

The Cowboys need to dump as many contracts as they can, get picks, and get younger and faster.

If Parsons gets you multiple firsts then you have to really consider it.

The Lions are where they are now because they made bold moves that got them a ton of draft picks.

I find your claims in this anchor post curious since leading up to draft day all you could talk about was passing on Parsons. Even after his pick you were wringing hands on draft day about the mistake made by selecting him.

The Lions have been so bad for so long, and to make a claim they have made bold moves needs to consider they have been drafting nearer the top half of the draft board - meaning closer to one than thirty two since 1958, and their play-off record shows one time did they get to the second round of the play-offs. And that was in 1991 when they beat Dallas with Barry Sanders as a running back.

What makes the Lions a difficult team is they are tough and tough minded. Jerry runs a day care compared to what Campbell does.

Parsons is not our best player. Why do people keep saying this?

If you could pick one player of the Cowboys it would be Parsons and it’s not close. 3 All-Pro seasons in 3 years. Top 15 NFL player, top 5 defensive player. Dude you have no clue.

 

[dfense]

Blow it up. Your top couple players are at the downswing of their career. Trade Micah. Stop paying every player like they are the best at their position.

If l was him, l'd be demanding to be traded. This organization is a hot mess, has been since Jimmy left.

There is not a bunch i would bet on when it comes to the Cowboys..i will bet on the fact Jerry will sign #11 to a very long large deal next because thats HIS pick...and he likes Micah he isnt trying to build a winning team he is building a collection of players he picked and likes...period.

Exactly. They love signing their own because to them that reinforces what great drafters they are... That they're real football men who know talent.

But it pays its stars whatever they want as the players always win the negotiations.

And getting paid is what the players really care about. That's the "winning" that matters to them.

we are not anywhere close to being any good.
we do not spend in FA

so our only hope is to get lucky in draft. and when you go that route and end up with back to back years of average to below average draft, you end up like the cowboys.
so the best way is to maximize the number of picks you have.

trade Micah. I think he is great talent, but he needs strong DL to be effective. and we don't have that. if we can fetch a first and second. or couple of firsts for him, then great, lets do it. we had micah and we sucked. without micah we sucked. so what's the difference?

I appreciate that Rayne Dakota isn't Deshaun Watson

Theres some pure positivity right there

Unbeknownst to you NFL teams are not allowed to trade draft picks that far in the future. So your suggestion is nonsense. In addition, escalating compensation for QBs, WRs, and edge rushers, make 1st and 2nd round draft picks necessary to acquire good talent that is cost controlled for four years. They are too valuable to trade. No team is going to trade a first round draft pick for any NFL player. I doubt any team would give up even one second round pick for Parsons as he must be paid a significant amount immediately. Look how many 2025 first and second draft choices have been traded. No firsts, three seconds.

The contemporary NFL is much different than even just tree years ago.

I DO know there is a time limit on how far in the future you can trade picks, (though admittedly I don't know the limit)... this was more of a joke, Mr Killjoy.

U can trade at least 2 years in advance...I know that.

I'm not sure what you mean by "no team is going to trade a 1st round pick for ANY player". What does that mean? Teams trade 1st round picks for players all the time! Especially for pass rushers and WR.

How do you think A.J. Brown ended up in our division?

Teams do not trade 1st round picks “all the time”. The Brown trade was over two years ago. And that deal is now an outlier. And an 18th and 101st pick for a player playing well is not a “haul” as so many here expect for Parsons. There are currently no firsts traded for any player and only three seconds. Parsons is not playing well and will not command a first or second. Adams is about to be traded for a third that could become a second based on performance. That is from the desperate New York Jets. Parsons is going to want Adams money very soon.

Some teams might be dumb, but none of them are stupid. Teams will not give up the opportunity to add good talent under cost control for a player whose team is willing to part ways with him and that is going to demand significant compensation in four months.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Imagine watching how bad this defense is at rushing the passer and saying “lets trade a top-5 pass rusher in the league”

If he doesn't have the support and the right call....doesn't it matter? If we had strong NT and inside big lbers....you are right.

Exactly. I've said so many times on here that we have a team full of "paycheck collectors."
