There was a thread/poll posted last week on CZ about Jerry needing to making a move. Many responded by stating that no move was the best move.
After some thought, I have to disagree. Cowboys lack a few more impact players on D. And with the way this offense has played and has the potential to improve even more, this team is a real contender (yes, I realize we are only 5 weeks in). But as much as it has improved, the D is not championship caliber, not even close.
Jerry needs to make some deals before the trade deadline to improve the D:
Trade#1: Joseph Randle, Devin Street and 3rd to Detroit for Suh. Jets want Suh desperately and are 20M under cap to pursue next season. Suh wants out and wil not re-sign with Detroit. Detroit has tons of talent at DL and rotates this unit often. Detroit needs a running game, badly. And are currently hurting at WR. Suh could take this D over the top. Having Suh, Rolo and Wilcox/Church in the middle of this D would be intimidation incarnate. Even if a one year rental (no way I believe that), Jerry needs to do this trade.
Trade#2: Brandon Carr to Jets for Quinton Coples. Jets are getting shredded in the secondary and that trend continues every Sunday. Would rather give up Mo (former 1 bust for a former 1 bust) but he's injured. Coples would add size, athleticism and upside to DE rotation. Coples is a natural 4-3 DE, not a 3-4 OLB. And he is still on rook contract.
Trade#3: future 5th and CJ Spillman for Telvin Smith and Justin Blackmon. Smith would improve speed on ST, potential fit at LB/SS, get rid of a current headache. Justin Blackmon may not play another down, or he could reinvigorate his career ala Rolo McClain. Worth the risk for that kind of talent return.
