Per Werder Cowboys have not discussed Forte or Jeffrey

[Nightman]

DAL could trade for him as Dez insurance.

If he leaves they get a comp pick back.

 

[Bleu Star]

I give a third for Jeffrey, today.

& I would need a towel.

True, but Romo has been far more effective than Alshon Jeffrey in recent times. That guy has been awol for some time.

Look at his QB, personally having Alshon here for a 4th rounder wouldnt bother me at all. He would be number 2 here moving baby hands down one, it would make defenses have to respect us until Dez is back at least. And when Romo comes back, having Dez and Alshon plus Bease Witten and Williams would be a scary offense. Factor in Randle and DMC, thats enough for the push. I have zero confidence in Williams, especially with Weeden at QB. Then again, i think that Cassell will start the NE game.

We need another WR.TWill is inconsistent, Beasley is a role player and everyone else is a nobody. With Dez out we are limited offensively regardless of the QB. Not sure Jeffries is the guy, but with him on the field, opposing Defenses wouldn't be so cavalier about stacking the box.

My god

We are just asking to get back into RWII territory again.

 

[Nightman]

Romo took multiple spears to the back against the Giants, not just one hit.

Romo had a cyst removed and he had a fracture at the end of a bone in his back.

He didn't have the classic 'back' surgeries that lead to future problems. It wasn't disc or spine related.

Jeffries?

Jeffery is indeed the dude.

Not a first, just a third and get a third or fourth back as a comp a year later.

 

[Galian Beast]

Alshon Jeffery could help buy us enough time for the return of Dez. Really the key is to win a minimum of 3 games by the time Romo returns, but ideally 4 or 5.

Cassel will supplant Weeden soon enough, and we need to give the running game more room.

I wouldn't be against trading for both Forte and Jeffery. I'd give up a 2nd for both of them.

They're both free agents at the end of the year, and I'd say unlikely to stay in Chicago.

Don't think Jeffery is a top 5 receiver though, not sure where that came from, but to win a super bowl I wouldn't mind restacking this offense while the defense is about to get into groove, but may need some boost until Romo/Dez return. When they return though, now you also have extra weapons on offense. It'll be pretty tough to stop Dez and Alshon.

Our backups aren't going to throw to him anymore than williams or street. WR isn't the issue to help us get through this

 

[Randy White]

Can you tag a player you traded for?

Of course..

He demands attention, even double teams.

 

[Zekeats]

Jeffrey would be our Alvin Harper. Even better one though. He is not Roy Williams but I wouldn't give up more than a second.

 

[conner01]

Where would you rather spend that 10+ million a year? On another linebacker?

On keeping the oline
On paying several good players under rookie deals you can get with the picks you give up
At least he is under contract next year

 

[conner01]

He demands attention, even double teams.

I would take Aaron Rodgers over Weeden.

and for him I would give up our 3rd
Heck maybe even our 2nd

It would be pretty tough next year when you had to pay them both
It's crazy to give a premium pick to have a guy one year
That's a Roy Williams deal all over again and those deals hurt the team for years

 

[lkelly]

Nice work, Werder. You almost spelled the guy's name right. In the Twitter age, that's good enough.

Well I wouldn't trade anything more than a 3rd rounder for a rental.

This organization has already showed they don't want to spend big money on running backs and they've invested enough in defensive linemen to be okay there as well. They do not need to spend big money anywhere unless its re-signing a few guys.

This is not about our future. This is about now. And if you are truly trying to take advantage of Romo's prime how is this not the move to do?

I get the emotion behind this, but believing in the Now and disregarding the future gets you broke more times than it makes you rich.
How many teams throw it all in and come up snake eyes?
A hell of a lot more than the ones who win it.

And then what?
You're in here complaining and whining every day here about how the FO messed up the next several years and I have to read it.

Think man. Beyond the today. Do you invest, by any chance?

Yep, he would be a great backup for Romo.

you are forgetting the partial discectomy he had due tot he herniated disc he suffered in the Skins game in 2013 season.
