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

[KingintheNorth]

Meh. Team traded a ham sandwich with no cheese for depth.

Same depth is available on the streets. 100 guys.

Don't care about the 7th round pick. This FO's constant attempt to appear clever is what kills me.

 

[Rayman70]

He's a warm body and we needed a warm body. 7th rounders are lottery tickets anyway, file this under "M" for Mehhhh.

why not simply just poach a player from the PS? only thing I can think of is they were super convinced and sold a bill of goods by someone at the Texans that this kid just needs a chance a change of scenery. HEY...who knows, maybe I am wrong and he turns into a nice role player. If he can stop the run I am on board.

Player acquisition is a 365 day a year proposition. The group I lead is unyielding in turning over every rock to improve the talent on this team.

Oh, and you're welcome.

Never heard of this guy.

He's an Aaron Donald type.

McClay should have his own show in Vegas.

THIS

I literally have a 6'4" 305 NFL DT , fresh off his rehab, staying in my guest room. I wish the Cowboys (or anyone) would sign him. He's killing my electricity and water bills. Plus, I'm pretty sure he's eating all my leftovers.

Who knows, maybe they tried to sign him but Houston convinced him to sign there. Maybe he has upside they like, I'm just not worried about a 7th round pick (which is probably conditional anyway).

Dallas still has 9 picks next year even losing this 7th.

Worse than that. We traded a draft pick that could have the potential (not super good odds) to at least be a contributor to a rotation for a guy who we could’ve gotten for free and has already proven over 4 years that he can’t make an NFL roster. Not a huge deal, but an unforced error nonetheless.

Did people think Woods was going to play 70 snaps a game for the next 9 straight?......

THIS WEEK HE MAY HAVE TO.

these unforced errors add up over time and hurt the foundation of your franchise. This has been a problem here.

"Trade an aggressive move"

aggressive ? lol..THIS is NOT aggressive...wow..the standards these days have really lowered for what looks to be aggressive. This was an act of pure desperation to save face.

this is about to be a comedy site around Thanksgiving

 

[Rayman70]

They , the Texans picked this guy up a week ago for FREE!!!!! Then deal him to booger and the Dallas Cowboys, stealing a 7th round pick in the process. Unless this cat is a decent run stuffer/role player, it will be a waste.

This trade helps with Jaylon’s sunglasses business.

 

[Rayman70]

About the time I didn't think SJ could get worse, we burn a draft pick for a practice squad player.

^this...and think...I bet we still could have elevated a player from our own PS to fill the void at DT at no cost, and we would have had him for Sundays game to boot.

 

[SlammedZero]

Seriously we wasted a 7th round pick on this guy? lol Could have thrown a dart at any team's practice squad roster and probably found just as equal a player.

 

[Corso]

Lol... the hair falling out over this move.
