SI: Proposed Cowboys 'Blockbuster' Trade for Saints WR Michael Thomas; Does Move Fit?

[morat1959]

Our receivers are not the problem.

 

[DanTanna]

I approve only if we give up a first rounder and give him $20million.

Just mentioning this because it's out there. Posting the highlights. I think it's an awful idea for the Cowboys.

FRISCO - Injuries and controversies have created for New Orleans Saints receiver Michael Thomas a downward spiral from his heyday period at the end of the last decade. Could the Dallas Cowboys take a stab at a trade that might resuscitate his career?

The suggestion comes from our friends at Blogging the Boys believes. It is delivered without a mention of what the Cowboys might give up in trade, and that might be handy ... because we would suggest the Cowboys would give up virtually nothing in trade.

Thomas has played just 20 games in the last four seasons, has found himself in conflict with his Saints bosses, and last season settled for a salary reduction from $15.5 million to $1.165 million (but with a massive roster bonus of $32 million as part of some cap manipulation, still a sign of a coming goodbye).

Meanwhile, the Cowboys are $20 million over the cap ... and creating more problems there for a player who in Thomas probably isn't superior to prospective Dallas third receiver Jalen Tolbert seems unnecessary.

$1.165 million salary for this year?

Might be worth a day 3 pick, maybe 6th or 7th rounder.

If they want anything more, they can pound sand.

I trade Trance for him. Gets $5M of four books.

 

[tyke1doe]

So a broke down receiver is going to put us over the top?

Doesn't say anything about that in the article.

 

[SlammedZero]

Why was I not surprised to see Mike Fisher's name attached to this?

I swear this guy throws the most random BLEEP at the wall.

 

[Bobhaze]

We need big, tough DL, LBs, OL and some fresh kegs at RB. WRs and CBs aren’t going to move the needle for this team. If moving the needle means winning multiple playoff games next season.

 

[Mannix]

Or with no trade they could sign Josh Gordon as another washed up old hasbeen.

I hear they are looking at ex Bear WR Dick Gordon.

***Must be old***

 

[Kwyn]

Well, that is indeed some speculation. Those fools need to speculate a trade where we get Mahomes

 

[Redsfan_83]

no offense but I stopped reading when it involved Thomas

 

[krs1bro]

LOL....what? This guy has played 2-3 games in 3 years....cant believe im responding but this is ridiculous.

 

[ICP]

Please, no

 

[Sarge]

Always hurt, tires are worn…….hard pass.

I had no idea that SI still existed.

 

[noshame]

IMO we have one of the top WR corps in the league, we've had Cooper, at some point you need to quit rearranging the deck chairs ya know?

 

[cristglo]

We make any trade with that amount of money better be for a DT and LB

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Pass

 

[JW82]

Well it would be a blockbuster alright. As our heads would explode.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

blockbuster ? lol. More like idiotic

Exactly, but that's why they figure Jerry and Stephen might be interested, right up their alley. Speaking of alley, that's where all the dumpsters are anyway.
