Anyone recall Joey Galloway?
The WR we gave up TWO FIRST round trade picks to Seattle to replace a injured Michael Irvin who had to retire and to help an ageing and starting to get injured more and more QB in a last gasp chance to win?
About the only thing similar to the current case would be the two teams trading.
Nobody is talking two first round picks.
We are not replacing a future HOF player who just got injured and has to retire.
We are not trying to trade for this player to help an ageing oft injured QB trying in a last gasp effort to win.
Again...other than the two teams trading I am not sure why we should remember Galloway when talking Earl Thomas....and if you can get Earl Thomas for a 2nd and a 4th max vs 2 first rounders when Galloway was at best a probowler alternative once in his career vs a mutliple pro bowler in Earl Thomas...again...why should we recall Galloway?
I would also say this...the Cowboys have shown almost no interest in Safeties in visits for the draft...that would seem to indicate a few things...
1. They are being sneaky stealthy genius mode to full the rest of the league in our intentions (derwin maybe) which with this team seems to be a long shot.
2. They are happy with Heath and Xavier and will just draft some safety down the draft for depth
3. After getting rid of 88 they are seriously thinking about Earl Thomas .
Personally I think 2 and 3 are real options...#1 only comes into play if they don't get ET and somehow Derwin James starts to really fall.
