I'd like to see us trade one of them for DE or secondary depth. But I assume that's not likely.

There is possibly a logjam on the dline we need roster space. Who are you gonna trade? Morris was a FA, Dunbar is injured, Rod is an unknown we drafted Zeke and another cat. DMC who was a FA last year. Who really has trade value?

And I doubt they do.

Right now they're pretty assured of getting a comp pick for the guy.

I highly doubt we get a comp pick for Leary. And if we do it'll come in 2018 and likely as no better than a 6th.

Can you see him commanding a big deal in free agency? I can't.

Gosh a starting guard?

Maybe surprised.

A starting guard who.... God willing... Wouldn't have played in two years and still has a pesky degenerative knee issue that could or could not be an issue?

I'd love to be surprised but I won't hold my breath.

It's one of those... "We'll see."

Not on the bench.

I still think he is likely to be traded. Jerry himself ( granted eons ago) has stated that a players trade value is lowest during the draft and rises afterwards

Dunbar is dun, the FA Rookie is likely too stiff and merely camp fodder, a STs contributor or a Practice Squad candidate.


That leaves McFadden, Morris and Zeke....perfect.

Stop with the Leary trade talk. He is a valuable player for this team.

This. Leary is a starting caliber G in this league, and gives us actual depth along the position. That's very important with the injury history of Romo. Deal Leary and you're one high ankle sprain away from Joe Looney protecting your aging QB and 1st round draft pick for 4-6 weeks. I'd have to be blown away to deal Leary.

You forgot Rod Smith. Though I believe your last 3 might be right (unless Dallas doesn't want to be on the hook for 3 million with McFadden if he is on the roster week 1).

Edit: I may have read that wrong... you may have been talking about Smith with the ST contributor part.

My bad, forgot about Rod Smith, surely Dallas will try to find a spot for him especially considering he is Jaylons' brother.
