The genius of Howie Roseman

[gtb1943]

I think Romo had a cap hit 1-2 years after he was no longer with the Cowboys.......

dead money is another thing we have had too much of

It's not inconceivable that Roseman trades him. Even as soon as this off-season. Win the SB and maybe break-up the band to reinvest.
Roseman doesn't do sentimentality.

Exactly. He will trade him when his value is up. The Eagles like to trade players to get high draft picks. They traded Wentz and used the picks to help rebuild the team. Plus, the Eagles are a team that can win with a weaker QB, as they are doing with Hurts, because the rest of the team is so good.

 

[Creeper]

Not sure if anyone else mentioned it, but what the Eagles do that the Cowboys don't, is the Eagles stay ahead of their roster. They draft guys a year or two in advance of a player retiring or the Eagles trading him. They prepare and plan for losses. The Cowboys lose players and wing it after that. The Eagles drafted Jurgens knowing Kelce would be retiring at some point. Jurgens sat on the bench for a year and stepped in the next year when Kelce retired.

They did the same thing with Fletcher Cox, drafting Jordan Davis the year before Cox retired.

It's called planning and it is what Jerry is very bad at which is why the Cowboys have not won a SB in 30 years.

Yep, it's usually better to go a year early than a year late. Similarly, if we weren't going to compete in 2024, there's a number of players, in final year of contract that we should of traded.

Lurie, unlike Jerry, doesn't mind if he has to move on from a player, even if that still has a little money left on his deal. It's called balancing winning over money.

I'm 100% convinced we don't trade coz we're NOT good at it.........maybe the Joey Galloway and Roy Williams trade still haunt Jerry but it is obvious that they are afraid to trade.

Stephen Jones should be sitting with Howie right now with pen and pad (lol)

This ship has sailed.

 

[StarOfGlory]

It appears they will have to adjust his contract after the 2026-27 season............

If Hurts gets to another Super Bowl after this one, it makes sense. I wouldn't doubt that by 2029 Howie already has his replacement on the roster. I hope we are thinking about Dak's replacement.

Yep, Jerry just keeps getting beaten in the exchange (as with many/most extension negotiations).... just confirmation (if any were needed) that Jerry is out of his depth.

That was what BB did so well for so long. Trade away a player before the decline starts; or let them go to save cap money.
This is a brutal business; if you want to be a consistent contender you are going to have to sacrifice sentiment on occasion.

For what it’s worth, Hurts has a no trade clause in his contract.

On the other hand, I will bet that the Eagles will not give Hurts that second contract like Jerry gave Dak. I believe the Eagles will trade Hurts at some point.

I agree. He’s not the kind of player you pay a lot of money to once the age hits the 30s. His mobility is a big part of what makes him valuable now, but legs typically don’t age well. It’s why I was sweating it when Howie was rumored to be interested in trading for Russell Wilson before he went to Denver. That would’ve been a nightmare

So yes, I think they will look to part with him when he still has value. Issue is he has a no trade clause, so he will have to agree
