Twitter: Stephen Jones On Trades

[Section446]

Explanations like these are why the Cowboys are the way they are.

We have part-time employees doing full-time work

The fish rots from the head down... we have an owner playing owner.

 

[Rayman70]

Who you do you think they target if they do go up?

If I may...I think we target Sutton honestly IF and ONLY if we move up. If we think he will be gone at 19 and another team in front of us has a need at WR...say,in the top 12...I can see us trading up. Not sure but I would prefer we stay put and take either Payne,Hernandez or Edmunds at 19. I see Edmunds being a safety under Kris Richard...like a Kam Chancellor type.

 

[CATCH17]

Jerry has been in check too long and the draft is in Dallas. Get ready for a splash. He knows fans are angry too.

We desperately need something to be optimistic about going into next season and the draft class is not going to cut it.

The coaching here stinks. Everyone knows it.

Rookies are going to be rookies unless you somehow land a phenom which is rare.

Dallas fans and I would say even the players on the team need someone they can point to on the team that gives them a feeling of change.

2017 offseason negativity lead us right into a negative season.

2018 is not off to a great start.

Management needs to create a spark and these tiny coaching changes have done nothing.

 

[Aven8]

Actually, he talks in a less rambling fashion that does not need a decoder ring to translate.

On the down side, since he is easier to understand, his comments expose him. Just as they did here.

A lot less "umm's" and Jerrys favorite word "trite" for sure.

And money for season tickets is due just before the draft, there are more than a few of us re-considering if it's worth it.

Only positive I've seen this offseason is people thinking that Richard is going to come in here and magically make our secondary the Legion of Boom. Lol

 

[Rayman70]

Man, Jerry has actually passed the torch to Stephen and he's blabbing away just like Daddy!

lol...learned from the best. I have no clue wth Stevie just said. lol....guess its lying season again...ie draft time.

I for one NEVER thought this. But what I do see is a pretty significant improvement. I think we will also add someone in Free agency.

 

[CATCH17]

That is the thing, there really is not that wow player up there that can make you say that.

And yes, I am absolutely considering the likes of James, Fitzpatrick etc.

Derwin James and Fitzpatrick both would make us significantly better at the safety spot.

I like Fitzpatrick but I can't help but think Derwin James is going to be the better pro but I think he needs to be around the box to really have a huge impact.

Usually we are pretty transparent. You have to read through the tea leaves but we certainly don't try to deceive anyone.

The secondary is going to be better but if our linebackers are as terrible as they were last year at covering it won't matter.

 

[Alexander]

I think a lot of you are missing the point.

He acknowledged they are open for business to trade during the draft. That is not really a question.

This was more about trades involving veterans. Either their own or others.

 

[Rayman70]

Depends what it is...but yep...and that gets frustrating when Diddy or Junior speaks then inserts foot into mouth. Its almost without fail.

 

[Alexander]

Not significantly better that I am giving up what moving from #19 would cost.

 

[Rayman70]

Nah I get it. He would be foolish NOT to say that. Its good business.

 

[Alexander]

Usually we are pretty transparent. You have to read through the tea leaves but we certainly don't try to deceive anyone.

But that still does not stop fans from screaming "it's a smokescreen!" when either Jerry or Stephen Jones come out and say something.

Normally, if you can figure out what they are saying, they are literally telling everyone what they are going to do.

Agree 100% and I've been saying the same. Our GM spends time booking concerts, WWF and soccer into the stadium...Let's not forget the marketing. Real GMs live, breath and sleep football...But hey, our marketing rocks!

Apparently it is simply asking too much for Cowboys front office spokesmen (Jerry, Stephen) to be quiet about what they’re thinking. It appears that if you want to know what the Cowboys’ mindset is during the offseason about the draft, trades, how they value certain players and who they might cut, just ask the Jones boys and they will tell you.

This is not a problem in well run organizations. You never see quotes from NE, Pitt, GB, etc. talking with this much specificity about offseason thinking.

The Jones boys are powerless to not speak to a microphone. The most powerful entity in the Cowboys organization is not Jerry or Stephen...it’s a microphone.

Relevance of the brand. That is priority.

Love Nelson.

But will kill Jerry if he moves up into the Top 6-7 to get him.
