Watkins: Turpins will get a 2nd round tender ($5.3M)

[Aven8]

Who's giving up a 2nd rounder for an expensive undersized 28 year old WR with questionable hands albeit great speed?

No team is that dumb.

I could see Andy Reid calling. The kid is the most dynamic ST’s player in football and KC would have him all over on offense

 

[baltcowboy]

I don't see any way a team offers Turpin a big contract and willing to give the 2nd round pick.

If your KC, Philadelphia, Buffalo, and Washington, a late second round pick for a weapon like Turpin would be well worth it. Turpin is our most explosive weapon and it’s not even close.

 

[conner01]

Yes keep Seig and Anger. Lawson and Golston can test the FA market.

Is Turpin worth losing for a 2nd round pick?
Especially if no one expects Dallas to even make the playoffs. Do you want that draft pick.
However, they need to let Osa walk to get the comp pick in this same situation.

Or is $5.34 million a cheap price to pay to keep. Then lose him to a comp pick next year. This is probably the right answer. If they bring in other FA's to actually compete for a playoff spot.

Lawson interests me. But depends on the price

And basically a 3rd round pick for them since it’s at bottom of the round

 

[Kwyn]

If someone offered a second round pick for him today, I’d be pretty happy. No way someone does that though.

This was a good move.

 

[Kwyn]

Trade Osa

He’s a free agent.

I hope so. While Turpin will make some big plays on special teams, in some games he will be a non-factor. As a wide receiver, he'll never be more than a seldom used 3rd WR, and most likely the 4th to 5th WR. He's just undersized. He'll drop a pass for every big gain he makes too. He's also not young.

A second round pick has the potential to be a solid starter for years to come. An every-down player on the offensive line for example, or a three-down RB that opposing defenses have to account for. Very importantly, that second round pick will also be cheap.

Agreed zero chance

Lol, trade Turpin for Schoonmaker or Jaylon Smith? No thanks…..

Not to mention that for the most part the owners do not even negotiate with restricted free agents. Cannot prove collusion but it does stink.

It's so uncommon that when it happens it becomes news in and of itself.

 

[Mr_437]

Judge the FO by what they do in March and so far they not doing a bunch nothing.

 

[atlantacowboy]

Fingers crossed. I Like Turpin but this team needs talent at positions more important than kick returner.

 

[John813]

Wish there was more tender options outside of 1st, 2nd pick wise

 

[cowboyec]

golston may be looking for a reunion with dan quinn.

Turpin time again...

I'd take the 2nd rounder if someone offered. Especially considering he was a UDFA signing.

 

[Chasing6]

He’s a free agent.

Not if he is tagged.

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

For 2nd round pick? I'm fine with letting him walk.....he's good but we have too many holes.

Nobody would give a 4th for them...much less a 2nd

I bet you would LOL.

No team gives a crap about these guys. Maybe they'd give up a 7th or something...MAYBE

 

[Praxit]

.....Lawson was coming around. Hope they can keep him.
