The good news is that this means that conversations are still happening. This isn’t that far apart. You have to think that this deal is going to get done.

Good luck with that

I'd give a second rounder in a flash.

 

[cowboys1981]

They must be thinking this is the Draft Day movie. No chance!

 

[TRUTH87]

get it done already.

I'd give them Schultz and a 3rd. That will teach them to ask for change.

 

[jazzcat22]

Seattle should take our 3rd round and be happy.

Unless they think ET will make us pick 32nd and do not want to pick that low.

I bet Dallas would be willing to offer more than a 3rd. Seattle can get a 3rd as comp. I wouldnt be surprised with a 3rd and a 5th.

A 2 and a conditional 4 (if he makes the Pro Bowl 1st year) otherwise a 5.. I am OK with that to sure up our secondary for 3, 4 years....Earl Thomas has some years left and he's a perennial Pro-Bowler. Sign me up as OK with it.

Seattle already asked for pick 50 during the draft. That's a second without the change.

Cowboys have been firm about only offering a 3rd.

Yawn.......is anyone still interested in this crap?

 

[TheSkaven]

For the record, I’d give up a 2nd in a heartbeat. Not sure about the “change”.

This deal makes too much sense for both sides not to happen. In the end I suspect it will be something like a 3rd rounder that could become a 2nd if Earl Thomas makes the Pro Bowl.

2nd and T. Williams is my offer.

No way would I deal a 2nd. A 3rd and a player, YES. I think something will happen still. If NFL network is reporting this THAT means talks are getting serious between all parties involved. Wouldn't doubt if something gets done by end of the day Weds.

 

[MWH1967]

Change is a player. (Lower roster) or 7th rounder.

 

[Dylan88Wilson]

A 3rd and some change isn’t that far from what they’re asking for. If Earl proves he’s willing to miss game checks, it’s very conceivable they’d be willing to compromise.

Looking at our depth vs their depth, sounds a lot like T. Williams would fit the mold of the "change".

Exactly. Someone leaked this to Rappaport, so discussions are underway. I would also guess that this gets done in the next 24 hours.

that's my take as well. Both sides are starting to get serious in the 11th hour.

 

[Cowboys22]

Just get it done. Meet in the middle. Their choice - a 3rd and change or a straight up 2nd. This is too close not to get a deal done.
