That's an interesting take......whether the Arizona results had an impact on what we were prepared to offer and whether any other teams were interested. If we were the only interested party whether Jerry tried the ...."we dont need to do the trade now, we'll come back next year".
So you’re saying they should’ve done nothing because it should’ve been done last year? I agree they should’ve done something like this during the offseason but they didn’t. They’ve done it now and are still in the hunt for a playoff spot so you should be happy and not so negative.
Honestly, it should have reduced it. We are now pretty much eliminated.
demand OSA takes a paycut
I will qualify by saying I haven't watched him that much recently BUT he has been that guy that the offense plays to avoid rather than to move. Solidify that middle & make teams plan to go elsewhere. It really gives your D an advantage.
No, I am saying that I probably would have held onto my picks for the most part and rebuilt this team through the draft for a year or two until they reached contention again. I love Williams though and think he will be awesome here, but I still don’t think it was the best decision given the circumstances.
I don't know if that would work but if we somehow keep Osa & Clark, I kinda like the idea of letting Osa play end getting them all on the field together.
Jerry Jones lives his life a 1 quarter of a football game at a time.
You do realize you are allowed to resign your best players and continue to add other great ones to the roster, right?
someone has to want him too, I was being sarcastic, he's not going to take a pay cut we just have to live with the fact that we jumped in paying him this much. I love that idea of getting them all out there, let's see how it goes!!
That was a viable option as well. I think some clubs would have chosen to sell, accumulate capital & do exactly as you suggest. Jerry can't allow irrelevance so he wasn't going to chose that option.
I predicted it. No matter what they do Zoners would crap all over it.
I just think this team desperately needs a huge infusion of cheap, young talent, and those draft picks are going to be missed.
We’re just frustrated Rock. It’s been a long time since this team has won, and I struggle to see a path in the next few years.
Of course. But you have to realize that Jones & Parsons got sideways. So whatever could have happened went out the window. Also, without the picks from the Parsons deal, we didn't have the "extra" draft capital to swing a trade like this and still have meaningful picks to rebuild the rest of the roster.
No team in the entire league rebuilds like this. You trade away talent, stockpile picks, draft a ton of blue chippers over 2-3 years, and THEN you make a trade like this to put them over the top. You don’t start with the trade when your roster is this thread bare.
there would be plenty of interest. teams are starved for talent at a lot of positions. now exactly what compensation we would get & how it all impacts the cap, I haven't delved into.
Because they need 5+ players, and the draft alone isn't going to cut it.
Because the events surrounding Parsons was unforeseen.
Because the Cowboys are happy enough with just a playoff team. Our front office believes like many fans do, that if you make the playoffs, anything can happen. You probably have seen people post that in here.
