Even if Stephen did call, how do we know it wasn't because Jerry asked him to?

It's going to be sweet watching the Giants get their future at QB in April while we sit there waiting for the 2nd round with Mr. Can't throw an out route.

So our opening offer was a first round pick?

Well played Stephen, you sly dog you.

I don't know - when I buy a car, I walk in with the cash money and tell them this is what I'll pay. I've had to walk a couple of times but for the most part I get the deal I was after. I doubt seriously you'd have pulled Cooper for less than a 1. Jerry likes to haggle - maybe SJ doesn't.

not with this GM.
JJ and SJ doubled down on Dak.
no way were they going QB...not until his deal is done.
not saying I agree with that...I think Herbert or Lock should've been in discussion.
but with the way Jones has backed Dak...no way were they going QB.
Yes trading away a first is doubling down. In a sceanrio we did not trade our first....you know the one we are debating...QB is on the board.

I hope we lose every game that's left. Dak needs to go. I'm tired of all his commercials anyway. He's going to win the commercials bowl this year looks like

not based on anything Jerry said...you know...the owner who is GM...QB was NEVER an option.

I'm assuming then, we were going WR 1st round anyway. Had no thought of a QB.
Yes, they are 100% in on Prescott.

All I care about at the QB position is consistent winning, Dak did so with a perfect storm in 2016 but has clearly been piss poor since.

If he can not get it done go get a QB that can in the draft, like some of us wanted in 2016.

They are doubling down on Prescott right now but this move at least puts more focus on him giving up a first for what they view as a difference maker on offense.

I never stay loyal to a player if their production is getting worse and certainly do not want to sign a player long term who has only had one good season.

They got Dak a weapon, get to it or it will be time to look at paying the price and drafting a QB in 2020 when the better QB’s are available anyway.

Consistent production at the QB position is essential to win in the NFL, we have not seen that lately, if it does not change soon, it must be addressed.

Justin Herbert, Carson Wentz and Alex Smith in the Division is not a good sign for the Cowboys Future. Look for the Commanders to find a true Franchise QB before the Cowboys even think about replacing Mr. No Vision

Here's how the call went:

Raiders FO: "We'll take a 3rd rounder."

Stephen & Jerry: "There's no way we give you anything less than a 1st rounder."

Raiders FO: "Deal?!?!"

Stephen & Jerry: [Hangs up the phone] "Yeeeeeeeehaw!!!"
