@toddarcher: Cowboys have traded TE Dante Rosario to Chicago for a conditional 7th round pick in 2014. Roster is at 52. Third trade in three days

Not sure how I feel about this. Isn't he our best run blocker?

 

[theebs]

there is room for a veteran cornerback, defensive tackle or offensive lineman now if they have one in mind.

 

[Stash]

That's two trades mentioned that have happened.

Kyle Wilbur for the trifecta?

I'm sure they do.

I applaud getting potential picks for these bottom of the roster guys.

 

[reddyuta]

several zoners were predicting this,i think its a good move as 5th TE wouldnt be active anyway.

I've read that Smith is better.

I think that's why this deal happened.

No he is a receiving tight end. Andre Smith is the blocker and has out played him through training camp. With Hanna and Escobar a blocker was necessary.

I still do...

Good news. Smith outplayed him and 4 TEs are plenty. Like the moves the FO is making to churn the bottom. Getting a 7th for a guy we picked up from the scrap heap is great

Wonder who they are going to bring in?

 

[Risen Star]

5 TEs was too many. Even with a 2 TE offense.

 

[the playmaker]

...5 TE's were tooo much!

Thank god, I was nervous about the 5TE thing

Wilber is definitely a tweener, don't think he fits the 4-3 scheme unless he can put on about 25 pounds and even at that, don't think he'd make a good defensive end

Thank you. I feel much better now.

Thank you. I'm backing off the ledge...

well technically witten is the best blocker of the bunch.

I think the positive here no one will mention because they hate him is that escobar has showed he can handle the offense and he catches the ball. Andre Smith showed he can catch the ball as well as block.

that is two big positives for me. 4 tight ends who understand the offense and their roles and will allow us to play the way we want to.

last year at this time we had a banged up line with the tackles switching sides and basically john Phillips who was never the same after his knee surgery in 2010. We were trying to protect the center, right guard and right tackle position and had no real strength at tight end for a month.

this year is the total opposite. hopefully it leads to good things.

Hopefully another corner, not feeling too great about Webb as the only option as 4th CB. I was hoping an improvement over Weems as the swing Tackle too but I think CB is a little more important right now

So they have five 7th round picks over the next two years? They must really be looking to pad the roster on the cheap.
