I thought that for a #4 pick it wasn't a bad move at the time but with Jerry and Stephen all up in Dak's jock strap and soon will be making him the highest paid player in Cowboys history, it was a dumb move on Jerry's and or Stephen's part.
So we basically gave up a #4 for nothing. Yay!
A real GM would have seen this coming, if he had talked to anyone, they would have rightfully, tried to talk him out it. Then he even over paid in the trade. I hope GM Jeruh is not negotiating any contracts moving forward.
Dak's contract made it extremely obviously. The trade for Trance never had a chance and should not have happened. It was not fair to him.
What is even worse is we are chasing SF. We just extended the gap significantly in my opinion.
Basically we gave them
2 4th's - 1 for them, minus 1 for us.
$10.4M - wasted 5.2M in for us and a saved $5.2M for them.
Can we try to resign Trance after this year in an attempt to salvage a 4th round pick? Sure, but why? This kid has not played in 4 years. Next year will be 5. How does he improve.
Why pass on Rush when he has proven to be a legit backup. Just in an attempt to pretend like, it was not a wasted trade?
