OK it's something I heard while driving home on 105.3 The Fan, and it made me hot under the collar because of the stupidity of it. Just wanted to throw it out on the forums to be discussed.
Arnie Spanier their evenings host was discussing a story he had seen either on PFT or somewhere about why the Cowboys should end up trading Austin and how it would be better for them.
He reckoned that since the Boys already have Roy Williams and are paying him so much money that when they "tag" Austin and some other team comes around offering Austin $10 million a year then JJ can't justify paying Roy 9.5 and Austin 10, therefore letting Austin leave in exchange for two 1st rounders. Arnie argued that since we would then have 2 1st rounders this season and 1 the season after then it would work out because he threw out that we could replace Austin with Jordan Shipley from the 3rd round, and get Gerhart in the 2nd, and trade up to get Suh in the 1st with our 2 #1s.
When people called in to say this was an idiotic idea to get rid of such an impact player in Austin, Arnie reasoned that JJ sent Hershel Walker to Minnesota and that made such a huge difference.
My personal opinion:
Arnie is an idiot for thinking they should get rid of Austin for some picks.
1st off, Hershel Walker was going downhill when we fleeced the Vikings for all those picks. 2nd off the Boys when they traded Walker were a crappy team all around with needs everywhere, Boys now only need a few pieces no need to get rid of a vet for a bunch of rookies.
If anything we get rid of RW and not Austin. No way in HELL the Boys trade Austin b/c if they do they'll have a PR nightmare. You don't trade the guy who essentially saved your season (You don't discover a "Tom Brady" and then trade him away the next season for some picks).
What do ya'll think of this dumb plan.
