Face it jerry Jones is cheap. he never goes all in and he always signs players who are bargains/projects. If they were giving DHop away jerr would do it. Don’t expect him to change.
So are you saying we just give the Cards what they want? From what I can see we have:
Pros
- DHop doesnt want to to stay through a team whilst they rebuild
- Is marking his territory by using the media to indicate his preferred destination (to offset the fact that he's lost the no-trade clause and make sure ONLY the teams he wants go and get him).
Cons
- NFL knows we need a receiver who Dak can trust
- in a weak trade/FA/Draft class the one handed WR is king.....the market has elevated DHop's worth (a fact not lost on the Cards).
- Cards dont need to trade him, they have no CAP concerns and would probably value draft capital in order to help facilitate a rebuild. Indeed unless DHop is serious and holds out (unlikely with two years left on the contract).
-Jerry isnt a GM that value's a deal where both sides win, he wants to show how HE won.
Reality
-there is a deal in the offing, however, we're in the posturing stage.
-the next stage is when both sides put away their appendages and actually accept that there's a mutual interest.
-the deal may well involve other players/cash/picks to even out the take .....remove Jerry/Stephen from this aspect and put the football need before any other consideration.
