What Cowboys players do you think might be exposed in a trade?

Nobody anyone would want.

I am sure you will hear rumors about shopping Alfred Morris or something, which is a little vain on our part.

This is not a roster where we have underexposed talent that can be flashed for picks in a draft like this.

None. I think the front office now recognizes the trade value for players is never lower than during the draft and will not use them as a commodity to broker a deal.

We haven't traded a player in 9 years.

I can't think of anyone on the team that is tradeable with good enough value TBH.

We need all of the players we can get on defense---offensively, we don't have the depth to trade anyone besides Alfred Morris, I don't see that happening.
You should do some more research if you think we haven't traded a player in 9 years

Dez would be the only one but Dallas isnt doing that, of the rest left. none have any trade, i dont even think Sean Lee does because who knows if hes going to be healthy enough. I hope Dallas keeps him post player, he would make a great coach.

Possibly our punter, he has some wheels. Thats a joke, no one , well, anyone digging up Davis anytime soon, techincally no one should trade for a punter, notice i had to think on that.

Picks are coveted this time of year and player value might not ever be lower at any other time of the year. Nevertheless, players are sometimes shopped to move up or down in the draft. What Cowboys players do you think might be exposed in a trade?
None...we don't have the FO personnel capable of making trades in our favor.

Dexter Coakley was the starting WILL back in the debacle before Parcells came in. The defense was bad with holes all over it but one year Coakley who was fast got a couple of picks and was chosen for a pro bowl after someone got hurt. I don't even think he was our best LB at the time as Dat was better IMO.

From that point on though any time a trade was speculated or a player acquisition was proposed Coakley was inevitably someone's suggested offering. We knew he was an average player but hey he got a pro bowl.

Even after he was gone people would propose him thus the joke.
well said

Hopefully teams think higher of Whitehead than we do. There's guys in this draft that can do what he does better and more consistently, according to the Draft Show. Zero faith in him
They were talking about Adoree Jackson. He will probably go late first or early second as the next Devin Hester. He's supposedly a better CB than Hester and may play some WR as well.

Ultimately. But exhaustive efforts were made to trade him and came up empty. If we couldn't get anything for an asset like Romo, what can we expect for anyone else?

This team has little to nothing in tradeable commodities.
Not sure how exhaustive it was. Only 2 rumored teams and they didn't want to trade for him just sign in FA.

Given that circumstance, it's hard to bash the Cowboys FO for not making a deal. After all, it takes another team willing to give up a pick.

They did trade his corneas for 2 livers and a gall bladder in a complicated three team organ donation swap. I think they made out OK in the deal.

That pic always freaks me out.

Looks like he saw the Blair Witch.

I can think of Anthony Fasano and Antonio Bryant. Fasano was 9 years ago.

I may be missing someone---who you got? Since you said I need to do research, I would assume you can name a few.

Sean Lattimore says hi, but yeah pretty under the radar and not all that memorable. We ended up with a 7th rounder in 2015 (Nzechoa) for him.

Is it possible to swap GM's...say with Denver or NE ?? ..The only "Player" that could generate interest and the club could spare is Bryant!! Say dump Bryant to the Titans to move up for defensive help. Both clubs win...Titans need somebody for Mariota to throw to??
