Rumor: Rodgers: Cowboys have standing trade offer for QB Mike Glennon

[CowboyChris]

it would be hard for me to give a 3rd rounder, no way for two of them.

 

[Reverend Conehead]

Sounds like a BS story. Bucs are idiots if they turned down either offer.

Yeah, 2 thirds sound steep to me also. I was thinking a fourth or maybe a 3rd at most if it's done with draft picks.

 

[AsthmaField]

I asked my brain about this rumor and the answer was: "it's horse ****".

 

[Idgit]

We're obviously not offering two 3rds for a guy who's on the last year of a contract in the first place, after we spent the offseason *not* offering the QB2 job to other comparable QBs who were on the market and would have cost us nothing.

I'd be all over Glennon as a FA, though.

 

[casmith07]

Two third rounders sounds a little steep. I am thinking more a 3 and a 5.

Or just a 5. Or a 7th.

 

[skinsscalper]

They see Glrnnon as s much better prospect and an upgrade. They took Dak because Glennon may never be available, so Dak is just an insurance policy. The team tried to obtain several QBs and it looks like Dak was way down the list of options.

False. There wasn't a single player in the draft or FA that Dallas met with or worked out more than Dak Prescott. Not one. Dak was part of the plan all along as long as he fell to the 4th.

Why draft Prescott when your attempting to trade for Glennon..

Because this article is most likely bull. Especially giving up two 3rd rounders for the guy.

 

[MrMom]

The venerable Luke Rodgers.

 

[Section446]

This would make me feel so much better going into the season, he's better than anything we've had behind Romo the whole time Romo has been the starter.

 

[CowboyChris]

you mean after we tried to get Lynch, and Cook. right?

 

[dogunwo]

When has Glennon been all that good anyway? Why waste time on him? He was so awesome that the Bucs drafted another QB. If you think he is the heir apparent, which I can't see how you could, sure, the trade would be worth it. Why would we trade a third for someone who's ceiling is career backup?

 

[mattjames2010]

Wouldn't mind trading a 4th or 5th to have him compete. But I don't believe this, this is the NFL section of sport sites not having much to talk about right now.

 

[skinsscalper]

If Lynch or Cook fell right we would have taken either. The fact remains that the Cowboys spent more time with Prescott than any other prospect FA or otherwise. He was solidly scouted to entertain a variety of scenarios. You don't spend that much time with a prospect unless you have a realistic scenario in which you have a chance to draft him. To think otherwise is either blatant stupidity or wilful ignorance.

With that being said, If Dallas had a chance at Lynch they would have drafted him (they tried, and rightfully so. He's a higher rated prospect). They would have taken Wentz if he was there, too @ #4. That doesn't mean that you don't scout and have a backup plan for Elliott because you have your heart set on Wentz. It's not rocket surgery.

i wasn't disputing that we spent a lot of time scouting him, but it was obvious after the attempts to trade up for others... he was further down the totem pole for us.

 

[Risen Star]

Why draft Prescott when your attempting to trade for Glennon..

Because you just can't turn down that kind of talent at the bottom of the 4th round. It was Matt Johnson all over again.

 

[This is Our Year]

Best backup QB in the league IMO, would LOVE if we got our mitts on him.

As a 4th round prospect should be.

 

[Vero_F250]

So Jerry would have parted with his precious 3rd for Glennon but refused to part with it for Paxton Lynch? I call BS.

 

[jnday]

False. There wasn't a single player in the draft or FA that Dallas met with or worked out more than Dak Prescott. Not one. Dak was part of the plan all along as long as he fell to the 4th.

If you look at it, there was several QBs options that was considered before drafting Dak. The teams actions in attempts to get other QBs before settling on Dak. All of those meeting looked good for Dak, but the repeated attempts to get get other QBs spoke volumes as well. Jerry is still regretting not making the trade for Lynch.
