Rumor: Cowboys Interested in Trading for Broncos' RB Montee Ball*MERGED* Looks to be false

[remdak]

Cowboys are so far down the list on the waiver wire that if they really covet a player, they would likely have to trade for him rather than hope nobody else claims.

The Denver Broncos are discussing a trade that would send Montee Ball to the Dallas Cowboys, per CBS Denver's Vic Lombardi.

Its got to be be for someone we are also going to release.

Hey get something for someone we are going to cut, now that would be value !

Silver what have I been saying in multiple posts I think Ball would be good behind the big Dallas line. He is a power back who ran behind a big line in college that was made for the run. Dallas OL would be a great fit for Ball !!!! Come on down!!!!

We need a powerback badly and I'm all for the Ball trade. For a team that made their presence known as a power running offense last year we have no semblance of that this year.

Randle is unproven and people here seem to think he is a HOF back. He is nothing more than a change of pace back that piggy backed off the reputation of Murray.

There WERE several that are better and battle tested than Randle. However, that window of opportunity has come and gone and Dallas is stubbornly comfortable with what they have. For a team that has Superbowl aspirations its unfortunate that were going into this season with questionmarks at the runningback position.

And Ball is guy about to get cut from a team that isn't strong at the running back position either. Ball was terrible this preseason.

Randle is the starter on this team with or without Ball.

I hear a lot about Ball. I'm not really familiar with him but is he as good as people are making out to be?

Ball STINKS.

He was a Wisconsin by-product of a great OL. Hasn't done squat with Denver.

He was out-played last night by a dude named Bibbs.

That is why there are reports Dallas is looking into the trade.

BARF!

If we're going to trade for a Bronco back, it should be for Juwan Thompson.

Randle is the starter on this team with or without Ball.

Like I mentioned Ball won't be coming here. They have already given the runningback position to Randle and Dunbar on a silver platter. Dallas is stubbornly thinking that the bunch of scrubs we have are pro-bowlers which is too bad.

Ball is known as a fumbler and a poor pass protector, but he's a good runner otherwise.

Still interested?

So basically he's Joseph Randle with fumbling problems (which Randle has not shown to lean one way or the other in that category)

Give up a conditional pick for Terence West and be done with it

That is a fact. Ball was a power runner in college, behind a OL in college that was the best their was. Dallas has the best OL in the NFL and I think Ball would do well behind it with Dmac coming in to play a few plays a bust one for a TD. Ball would be the main course, and Dmac the side dish.

Saying " Boyz" makes us sound like a boy band or a brothel

You don't need pro bowlers. Running backs are a dime a dozen.

There's Peterson, Lynch, Charles, Bell, and McCoy (maybe not anymore), then there's just a bunch of guys that play running back.

 

[remdak]

I really don't think they are going to pick up a RB. I think they will ride their current 3 backs for a game or two and then make a change if they feel the need.

Pass

Denver is actually pretty strong. Anderson/Hillman is a pretty good running back duo. If Ball is going to be third on the depth chart, they might as well give it to the cheaper guy.

I don't care one way or the other but something told me a month ago we would be interested in Ball.

 

[Jenky]

Pass on Ball...

Clarence Hill tweeted out that the Cowboys have denied the trade talks about Ball

Seems funny that people that don't want Ball here are the same people that like MacFadden but forgotten how terrible he was in Oakland. Maybe all that Ball needs is another change of scenery and things will be better for him. I like him as a compliment to MacFadden.

Lastly, we wouldn't be eating off of other teams scraps if Dallas would have been wise enough to draft a runningback in mid rounds or get someone in here thru FA. I don't think Ball comes in here though. Cowboys seem comfortable with who they have.
