I heard all the rumors to trade for King Henry to run to the Super Bowl. However, there is a player on the block that is 32 years old with a large contract that would really send this team or any team in contention for a Super Bowl to the Super Bowl.

Aaron Donald is on the trade block. Ignore the outlandish initial talk, LA is not going to keep a 32 year old DT on a rebuilding team. So kick the tires because RB may win games but defense wins championships.

Also, there is a way to get Henry and Donald if you use a 2 year plan and willing to let CeeDee Lamb walk (any real football GM would do it).

Donald is going to fix the offense? That is the #1 problem on the team.

Until you fix that, nothing else matters. It's just an exercise in spending money and draft picks.

You don’t win a Super Bowl these days with an RB leading the way. Those fans who think Derrick Henry is going to push the Cowboys over the top are wrong. In his last three playoff games his best rushing performance was 69 yards and he’s only scored two TDs. Teams like San Francisco and Philly will shut him down. Plus the Cowboys have OL issues.

..wow, didnt know Donald is 32. Thought maybe late 20's. Very likely ending career with Rams.

Some fans can keep talkin about Derrick Henry, Davante Adams ...and this and that player ... blah blah blah ..
but we are hurting REALLY BAD on offensive coaches - McCarthy has been given full authority of the offense now and doesn't have a damn clue how to scheme design players

We have one of the fastest players at both WR and RB, ..and Mac prefers dink n dunk and trying to use an all purpose
back as a pounding bell cow.. and a speedy WR as a possession guy.
Look at Jax's Travis Etienne Jr. .. Alvin Kamara,.. McCaffrey .. you have all purpose that work off tackle and in space, but McCarthy wants to force Pollard to be 2-3 yrd up middle Zeke.

Dak was one of the better deep throwers in the NFL (before this season)
- but Mac is so scared of Prescott, he's more in the mode of" protect the ball " and play Not to lose,.. rather than go for the throat aggressive mentality.

Jimmie Johnson once said:
" if you're gonna fight a gorilla, you don't come tap him lightly,.. you hit 'em with all you got !! ".... :rolleyes:

Heres what we need that is actually doable. Get the oline playing good and that dramatically improves the offense. We aren’t trading for Donald and Henry. Let talk about real options
