I agree. We also could have got the Honey Badger without giving up a draft pick. We better not give up a draft pick for Thomas when we could have had the Honey Badger for no draft picks. Irving will be a gigantic loss. This FO is lead by the 2 stooges!! Mo and Larry, Curly works in Cleveland.

Right now Curly is smarter than we thought.

The guy had 7 sacks in what, seven games? Anyone discrediting his ability or value as a pass rusher has their head in their ***. I get arguments about the suspension issue, but Irving is a one man wrecking crew against the pass. I think he could be coached into being a solid run defender too, that's just not what he was asked to do here .

Well let me say that Earl Thomas and Mathieu aren't of the same caliber. Earl Thomas is a much better safety.

That being said, I'd much rather have Honey Badger than to give up a 1st and a 3rd or whatever the hell the Seahawks think they want for him.

I'd give up a 3rd. Honey Badger could've helped this team.
I think going forward Honey Badger is the better player. Again, worried Thomas’s playing style is going to have him injured a lot.

Honey badger has never had the range Thomas has even now. Throw in two busted knees and I'm not feeling it. I would have loved to have him here, but he's not and never will be on Thomas' level.

Has anyone thought that maybe the Cowboys only tendered him with a 2nd is because they didn't think anyone would give up a 1st for him? I think they WANT someone to take him.

i agree with all this. I personally feel Dallas is going no where for at least 2 years, why waste a good players talent here?

Irving isn’t a sure thing. He already is experiencing concussions and he’s immature
No one is a sure thing! Who isn’t immature, look at Ol Jerry partying it up in the Bahamas, instead working the phone to find us a FO or 2.

Some of you guys like to act as if Irving has no baggage. If he didn't, no one here would be thinking about trading him for a 2nd round pick. Problem is, he's been suspended for PEDs, got in trouble for conduct with the team, and suffered a concussion with an immediate setback. I don't like our track record with players like that.

I don't even humor the "immature" remarks. He's a young, talented millionaire with a lot of personality. People will brand anything they dont agree with or like as "immature".

I just said this & it's nothing that he's done publicly,this thinking derives from his IG page & Twitter account;'-) yeah a 24 year old with more money in the bank than ur average 24year olds is somehow immature u kno becuz 2nd round pick replacements wouldn't be so such:;')

Thank you. How long did that concussion sit him back?

If I truly thought that Dallas was going to compete this next season for a SB, then I would want Irving to be here...that being said, if Indy extends him an offer sheet, I like our chances in the future with the #36 pick.....also, would LOVE Thomas like the vast majority of posters, but not if our first or a second is involved...no thank you...he is a FA next year, so again, if not competing for a SB, then wait until he can sign for no compensation to the Seahawks...

I would be 100% okay with them giving up a second rounder for Irving... the guy is virtually un-resignable due to his suspension issues and we appear to be in a rebuild mode as it is.
