Switzer trade

Surprized no one brought it up. Looks like a good one. Brings back a DT that was a 2016 2nd rounder. After watching the Amazon show I am glad he is gone. Not much between the ears there.

he seemed so intent on being accepted by Dez and being the "cool" white guy and not like dry Beas. But at end of day, Dallas had too many smaller receivers and with Dez release it was always gonna be his buddy to go next.
 
Why did the Raiders give up on Ward? It might be a case of both teams throwing out the garbage.

Most likely trading players that do not fit anymore. As one guy said...trade was nothing for nothing. But it was not meant as trading trash. Just need to see how each work out.
We did not need Beasley and Switzer.
Oakland did not need Ward. and he did not fit into the scheme they were changing to. They drafted a few players that did.
 
Not the same with Jimmy. He picked Walsh as a premeditated calculation knowing he could trade him, or Aikman into more picks.
This FO did not pick Switzer to trade a 4th for 2nd. After we drafted Gallup, Oakland contacted us and said the would like Switzer, and offered Ward, or maybe we said what player on D are you willing to give us. But from what I read they offered Ward.

Doesn’t matter that we didn’t contact them, but Oakland did is a big favor, as they believed they helped themselves too. As Ward did not fit their style of D they are lalnnog to go to.

Of course both Walsh and Aikman cost the team a 1st round pick, and with Aikman it was the #1 overall pick, so it was a gamble the Cowboys would be able to trade either and get back the value they put into it. But they did, and more, so it worked out well.
