Signed by Cowboys Texans trade DT Eli Ankou to Dallas Cowboys for seventh rd pick

[KingintheNorth]

Texans just claimed him off waivers on October 19th.

Almost as bad as sending the Raiders a draft pick for a player we cut a few years earlier.

Dallas just traded a 7th round pick for nothing more than a warm body, not any chance of a play maker.

to trade a pick away for a obscure player looks inept to me. This better work out or that was a total waste.

The funny part is that he's not a castoff--Texas just got hm off waivers this week. He never even practiced for them.

Oh, my mistake -- he's not a castoff, he's a never was! Glad you cleared that up!

 

[Rayman70]

Okay then. That's what we need - another WR. Maybe it would be Ventell Bryant's replacement.

maybe so.In my view we need about 9 players to fix the defense.Last thing we should have done is trade away a draft pick for some obscure player that has never done anything. This looks very desperate.

11 days ago and we send a draft pick?

Good Lord we are inept.

How many 7th rounders make a team? He’s basically a UDFA.

 

[Rayman70]

bingo. so as per normal we are a day late and a dollar short. Trading away valuable resources we need for a guy that we could have had for nothing a week ago. STELLAR!

Eli Ankou has played with 4 different teams, 1 of them twice, since 2017. Ugh, not good.

Signed as an Undrafted Free Agent by the Texans in 2017. Since then, he has been picked up by 3 other teams, then back to Houston 2 weeks ago. Now our Cowboys traded for him. Ugh, doesn't sound encouraging.

(2017 -- 2020)
Texans ==> Jacksonville Jaguars ==> Cleveland Browns ==> Indianapolis Colts ==> back to Houston Texans==> traded to Dallas Cowboys.

Holy crap! This has Super Bowl written all over it, I’m shocked they’re actually going for it!

DUMB AND DUMBER. Ridiculous. Terrible business move.

Look at the cleverness!!!

We’re too clever for our own good

 

[Cowfan75]

Pointless at best. Whatever.

 

[Rayman70]

never trade picks unless you think said player makes the entire team better NOW. The guy may be gone before the season is done.

Stephen has this personnel stuff down to a science: he pays very little, and always gets very little, or less, in return. Year after year....

Yeow! Like being thankful for a house fire instead of a tornado.

Okay then. That's what we need - another WR. Maybe it would be Ventell Bryant's replacement.

Malik Turner is already inactive, then there's Bryant. 6-3 200+ running a 4.4 is good numbers, but sheesh they have too many WRs to fit on the roster as is.

Eli is a start, but even this move shows how much they think of DT. However, put big boi on the field immediately.
