Mike Florio has heard the Cowboys talked to Tennessee about the #1 pick

[Mr_437]

...and who is going to throw the ball effectively to them?

Good point

 

[Chasing6]

1000% BS!!!!! This draft class is weak. Not a single player worth trading up from the 12th spot to the number 1 spot.

 

[Chasing6]

Mike has heard, but can't release his source, that the Cowboys are interested in trading up, but he has no idea for what player.

Sounds like click bait Mike.

 

[BoyzBlaster]

yeah fish said this was all BS with no source, just clickbait.

I remember Florio literally admitted he made something up and put it out there when he was on the Dan Patrick show several years ago. And he said it like he had no inkling that was something he shouldn't do.

 

[Hawkeye19]

I'm late to this thread. But I see people talking about the Cowboys packaging pick 12 AND Micah Parsons for the number one pick.

What?

I'm sorry....but if you are trading Micah...you keep the 12th pick, get the number one pick, and several other picks. No way you only get the number one pick for Micah. He is worth more than that!

This. Trading Micah for anything other than a king’s ransom is stupid.

If Dallas called and is indeed trying to peddle Parsons, then you already know you aren’t getting the return you want and deserve.

If Tennessee called and wants Parsons— then you play hard to get and the long game and see what their best offer is.

If it isn’t a franchise altering trade (multiple picks) — then I don’t trade a generational talent just to save money lol

Where's the generational talent at that everyone keeps saying the game changing plays

Where's the generational talent at that everyone keeps saying the game changing plays

14 sacks in 13 games last year. Highest pressure rate in the league at 19%. Sacks are drive killers and pressures are turnover & bad play creators.

I think you're taking your frustrations out on the wrong players Coogi. A couple players on defense cant do it all themselves, and its why you have to field a complete team. Would Mazi Smith have started for either super bowl team this year? Are they 1 injury away from throwing a 5th round rookie into the fire at CB despite counting on a guy coming back from an ACL injury? Are they waiting half way through camp to go get a few bodies to fill out their DL depth?

Telling Parsons he needs to do more is easy, but its not the answer. The answer is getting a front office thats actually committed to winning. 2024 was a total joke of an offseason from start to finish. This is what is meant when people say the Jones family wastes careers. Parsons is a generational type of player, but while he had a cheap rookie deal the Cowboys refused to go get him some help. Most other teams in football would have been focused on prioritizing getting another stud front 4 player to take this defense to the next level. The Cowboys say 'well we drafted Sam Williams so were good.' Nothing against Sam Williams either, but what had he shown in his career to be more than a rotational piece going into 2024? The biggest problem this team has is they settle for OK players on cheap deals. Thats great to have, but lets actually try to be more than OK in the trenches.

The days of “king’s ransom” are over. In the past 12 months two 2025 2nd round picks have been moved in a trade, zero 2025 1st round picks have been moved. Talent acquired in the draft is cost controlled and represents the only way to get better while being able to afford to pay/retain your star players.

If a first is traded now it will happen if the teams are swapping firsts in the deal. These teams with one of the first 15 picks all need more than Micah Parsons to be a winning team. (see the Dallas Cowboys) It’s a different time in the NFL. In addition, what ownership group, particularly of a losing team, is in any itching hurry to tell their fan base they will not be involved in day one of the draft…in person or on TV. The NFL is about entertainment, first and foremost.

 

[DandyDon52]

Florio made up this trade story with Tenn.

 

[Pass2Run]

Not a single player in this draft is worth trading up to the #1 overall pick from #12 to grab. It would take a king's ransom to do so, and you would only do that for a QB. Neither Ward or Sanders are worth that kind of move.

You have to think, though, Jerral Wayne "Jerry World" Jones had one shot at Deion Sanders boy, and Jerry is the type to go down in a blaze of glory to get him.

Jerry is dumb enough to do anything and everything.

 

[Wolf2k5]

This would have to do with Parsons

I’m not giving up Parsons alone for 1st pick much less packing anything with him

 

[Bagman]

Id imagine it's Hunter

Really ? Hunter doesn't even know what position he's playing. Only Jerry Jones would overpay for the spectacle of having another Deion. Imagine the circus of having the only 2 way player in the league who is going to be average at BOTH positions.

It's not what I would do. But what they would probably do.

WR

Only in Jerry World and at 185 pounds he will be on IR.

 

[ShiningStar]

No he did not.

Its about click bait, they do this ever year with FA, every FA is linked to the Cowboys.

no story.

 

[RonWashington]

Who would they want? Hunter? Carter?

Carter has a foot fracture . Think DLaw type injury . Hard pass .
