CZ POLL What do you want the Cowboys to do at the trade deadline?

[ChronicCowboy]

Trading for Hendrickson or Fitzpatrick would be a huge mistake. Both of those guys are on the downside of their careers and acquiring them would significantly weaken our draft class. Dallas needs to focus on rebuilding the defense with young players.

Buyers...but in the bargain bin. I like the Logan Wilson trade. I like using late round draft picks on veteran players, even over the hill washed up ones. You at least know what you're getting. Just look at a player like Clowney. You know he's not a part of your future, you know he's not an every down player, you know he's a rental, but you also know he's going to make a few plays as a rusher.

People say they're not just a couple of trades away from fixing this defense and they're right. But they're so far away from fixing this defense that you can't possibly hope to just hit on draft picks. To me using day 3 picks to acquire veteran role players, even as a rental, and saving your day 1-2 picks to infuse young talented rookies into your roster is the way to go.

I look at the 2025 draft for instance and wonder how much better off Dallas would have been trading away their 6th for say a Logan Wilson then rather than selecting Ajani Cornelius? Maybe M. Fitzpatrick instead of Jaydon Blue with their 5th? I recognize that these veterans would come with contracts and financial obligations, but it just seems like a better use of resources. Drafting a 6th round player, taking the time to develop them, and then keeping them under contract seems like too big of a task for this organization.

We are getting a LB that plays Special Teams. Outstanding trade Jerruh.

Jerruh loves late round draft picks because they are cheap. Same reason he loves him some comp picks.

Cowboys have under 3 hours to make this a superbowl caliber team!!! Lol

Eight and a half seasons is enough.
3-5-1 is not a record a $60 million quarterback should have.
Cleveland doesn't want Sanders, so the Cowboys should trade for him and go ahead and play Joe Milton.
No one would question it, and this way Dak still retains some value in the eyes of other teams if Dak were to agree to be traded.
The Cowboys could move on from Dak relatively quietly and pick up another top prospect in Sanders to work behind Milton.

 

[shabazz]

BTW, doesn't the rest of the league want any of our defensive players?

I couldn't imagine why not

Jeruh would rather cut them for nothing, or let them walk for a delayed comp pick.

Some kind of genius he is.

 

[blueblood70]

I just read somewhere that Quinnen Williams is coming from the Jets to the Cowboys what are you all stops on that one...

 

[blueblood70]

How about this They know they're not making a Super Bowl run or even a playoff run but we get to pick up players like Logan to see how he matches up with Overstone and do they make a difference in the next eight games to know that's one less hole to fill next year I heard Quinnen Williams is being traded from the Jets to the Cowboys is it just a rumor I think it's real what do you think about him Will that must have less needs next year and maybe at least be respectable down the road..

Depends on what he traded.

 

[blueblood70]

I thought you wanted players I thought you wanted a defensive tackle well here it comes you can't make moves they're making moves it's just the ones you don't like and you're right too little too late that's what I'm adding to it too little too late for this year but for next year they're looking at what players can do the last eight games to see if they can lessen the needs for next offseason..

 

[blueblood70]

In my opinion you're being hypocritical I think the Jets way over compensated a 3rd rounder for Phillips I wouldn't give nothing but a 4th really he was a 5th But you think it's great because how we test it no that's just how it goes sometimes when you're looking for players you pay with their going rate is but a 3rd rounder for him way over in my opinion but the Eagles did it so it must be special because you're an Eagle fan we already know it your package is a fake cowboy fan but Howie Rogan does it you won't question it and we're going to put this into..

 

[Zekeats]

Of course he does the opposite of what he should. And a defensive tackle just proves what idiots they already are with trading for Clark and giving osa 20 mill a year. Both moves were absolute jokes.

I think you are confused with someone else.

1. I never said I like the trade. How can anyone like a trade, when you don't even know what you traded?

2. Definitely not an Eagles fan.

3. If you believe you are a player away from winning it all, it would be ok to over trade for that one missing piece.

4. If you are trying to over trade, so you fall out of the top 10 in the draft, you're a complete idiot.

 

[big dog cowboy]

The 5% who wanted the Cowboys to be buyers just got what they wanted.

[revospeed]

Trade Tolbert to anyone who will give us anything.

Trade Steele to the Chargers. Start Thomas.

If you are just talking age with Hendrickson, he is definitely getting older. But IMO, he hasn’t shown signs of slowing down.

He has had 17.5 sacks in each of the last 2 years and was 2nd behind Surtain for defensive player of the year last year. He has averaged 14 sacks/year the last 5 years and has only 1 year above a 70% snap count in his career. He usually averages around 65% for the season.

He has played through a hip injury this year and missed 1 game, so that would need to be evaluated. But he had the best year of his career at 30 and didn’t even blossom until he was 27. Prior to that, he was a lower rotational guy. He doesn’t have the mileage on him that many players have after 8+ seasons in the NFL.

For comparison:

• Crosby snap count - 5997 in 7 years.
• Hendrickson snap count - 4578 in 9 years.

As long as he is motivated to play in the NFL, I would give up a second in a heartbeat as long as we resign.

Well I mean you're right they're never going to be happy they're going to say it's dumb it's stupid they overpaid they got fleeced but I'm not sure how I feel but Quinn Williams a big time move isn't it blockbuster trade or not ??

I thought they wanted this dude I mean they've been talking about him for two years and even if it feels a little weird because we already have Clark and OSA, clark can be cut next year for very little, correct?

I mean the guaranteed money is almost nothing from what I understand But what if they make it all fit? If they change the defense some of these guys can fit in a 3-4 or they can maneuver some things around, I don't know how I feel but I understand this guy is big and Logan we get to see him for eight games, he's low price, if next to overshown he shows improvement we have less needs going into next offseason, I don't have a problem with it people don't like it that we're making some moves it's just not the moves they want so it'll never be right..

This is how the draft is in free agency nothing Jerry does or doesn't do will be 100 percent right because there'll always be that crowd that doesn't like it and they'll complain all day every day but they use they say Jerry doesn't try isn't this trying they already tried to inquire about Crosby Hendrickson and Garrett and if you notice they're still all on their teams because their teams do not want to trade them..

I'm just look at this as an 8 game experiment we're getting some of our other players back we bring in a couple other players hell I think they should go get Simmons the free agent that used to be with Denver and Atlanta he's out there on free agency we if we want to make a move of safety too isn't this all up the gut Logan, Quinnen Williams, and you bring in someone like Simmons, I mean isn't that trying to help I mean we're not going to save this season but at least it's doing something versus nothing remember I like our guys how is it whenever they go outside and get other guys all of a sudden now we don't like their guys this place will never be happy..
