I had a conversation with a buddy of mine who’s a lifetime Dolphins fan ab our recent trade for Robert Quinn. He’s obviously not excited ab the trade, but understands that the Dolphins recent fire sale of players for salary cap relief is part of the rebuild process. What I found interesting is he told me that apparently Rashad Jones is going to be the next player traded or cut. Which I found surprising bc of all the players they have let go recently, Rashad Jones is prob one of thier best players on the team.
Being that we(The Cowboys) have a need and have been basically praying ET would come to Dallas. I would love to have Jones on the team as much as I would have loved ET. So I decided to look up stats and contract details for comparison sake.. and I’m little surprised at how similar they really are. Jones is a couple years older, but if Dallas was willing to sign Earl for 2y/$20 (that was a popular rumor), I think trading for Jones could work and he definitely would be an upgrade.
The Dolphins are dumping guys to relieve salary space for the future, so I don’t believe it would cost much to trade for him either. That said, I want get others opinion. First, what do y’all think ab RJ coming to Dallas. Second, what do you think it would take to make a deal like this happen? Or would you rather just role the dice on a 2nd/3rd Rd pick at safety?
Note: this is simply speculation and a little hope on my part. I’ve listed links of stats for Jones and Thomas below to compare.
