Maybe the right move is to trade Micah

[MRV52]

I would definitely not sign him. He disappears in many games, especially big games.

 

[Proof]

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.

the lions are where they are by drafting top ten so many years.

 

[Proof]

Why do people say this?

The front office of any team has really no say in the return they get for a player. There's no negotiating - the offers are the offers.

and reputations/relationships drive offers. pretending there's zero correlation is silly.

They traded Stafford for 2 1’s and Goff along with several other moves.

I would trade Micah because he is not a 4-3 DE. He is best as a hybrid LB like in a 3-4 scheme, or playing some OLB and rushing from end on passing downs. The Cowboys need him as a full time DE and it doesn't work in their scheme unless they change it. He can't handle full time DE duties like Ware could.

If they trade him, they likely get a lot of picks back and that would be ideal in remaking their team and dealing with the two big contracts they just handed out on offense. I am in favor, even though Micah is a great player you still trade him.

 

[TX_Yid]

I'd do it, but Jerrah most definitely won't.

He thinks with a handful of top tier players and then a bunch of scrubs, you can win it all. He's wrong. He's been wrong for a long time, the results don't change, and neither does the approach because you can't tell a rich old man who once upon a time had success that he doesn't necessarily still know best.

He clearly thinks he has made all the right moves and at some point it will click.

 

[Proof]

yeah I remember. and they wound up with gibbs, jameson williams and la porta. really solid pieces, but not the difference makers. it's the penei sewells and aiden hutchinsons etc that have them where they are. and those picks were made by sucking.

Not for good GMs.

If the Cowboys wanted to trade Micah, Jerry's personality should have no bearing on whoever is trading for them. That's silly.

sure micah is the exception. and thinking they couldn't get a decent haul for him is equally silly, yes. but in general, dallas doesn't fare well in the trade dept, and it doesn't take a crystal ball to know why.

 

[conner01]

Trade Micah !

That will fix our offense , and our redzone issues !

I don't think it's too late to trade micah. We just can't trade Diggs or Martin. No one's dumb enough to pay them that much. Same with Steele.

Martin is retiring after the season. Diggs deal is probably can’t. Trading Micah after you’ve paid Dak abd lamb doesn’t seem logical to me. Trade an elite player to get a franchise QB is one thing but that isn’t happening. You really can’t move on from Dak till after 2026. So trading Micah to replace Micah is highly unlikely

 

[ICP]

I think it definitely is. Unfortunately, Jerry would probably settle for a 5th rounder

We can't afford him though.

Trading Micah is easy but what would you be targeting with the picks? Another pass rusher isn’t likely. A QB isn’t logical since you pretty much locked Dak in for two more season. The most logical guy you could trade and get anything would be bland after the season. If he comes back and plays strong he could get you a pick to replace him at cheaper price and the next draft is deep at CB. The weak link in next draft is DT. Only high pick guy is from Michigan and I’m not even scouting Michigan players lol the history of our luck with Michigan guys is bad

This is baseless.

Their last trade - moving down in the draft to pick up both Guyton and Beebe - was excellent.

it’s not baseless whatsoever, you’re just stubborn and opinionated. amari just got traded for a third. we got a fifth. in his prime. again stuff like micah, and the draft is a little different than your typical deals. is roseann good at trading?

 

[BHendri5]

I’m good with trading Micah

They traded Amari as a cap dump in the offseason when he was the 4th-best WR on the market (Davante, Tyreek, AJ Brown all traded within weeks). Amari is more valuable now than he was then because he doesn't cost any cap dollars and you aren't locked into any future risk. Plus the market was already set. Diggs (with a couple of picks) went for a 2nd, Dotson for a 3rd, and then Adams for a 3rd. There isn't room for Buffalo to offer less and Cleveland had leverage to point to those trades and define the market.

Amari also was maybe physically in his prime, but he was not playing good football. In the last 11 weeks of the season, he missed two games for COVID and in the 9 games had only 36 catches for 434 yards. He had less than 50 yards in 4 of those games and less than 20 twice. Teams are not going to give up assets for that production on that contract.

The Cowboys don't lose on trades any more than any other team. You would have to do an awful lot of logistics to make an actual case that Dallas "loses" on trades more than any other team without revisionist history.

what did davante, tyreek, and aj brown fetch? and why were they traded? aj brown had games of 23, 11, 17, 45 and 34 over his last 11 games of 2019 and 27 if you extend it to 12. didn't crack 1000 yards on the season either, and yet... returned assets and got a bigger contract. I appreciate a fleshed out a response though, so thanks.

I won't even be mad if we did.

They all got firsts and some change.

AJ Brown was playing as a #1 in a mostly dead offense, was 24, had two 1,000-yard seasons and was pacing 1,000 but missed a few games. He also had favorable contract terms because he was entering the final year of his rookie deal.
