Romo?
Austin?
Ware?
Witten?
Ratliff?

and if so, what would you want for them...

For me I wouldn't trade any of them, and not for any price would that change my mind.

All of those but Austin are top 5 at their positions. So, I'd guess he's about the only one I'd entertain the idea on and that's only because he hasn't had a chance to put up the numbers yet.

You don't trade Ware, Romo, or Ratliff for any price because elite QBs and pass rushers are extremely rare. The fact that we have two elite pass rushers on the same team right now is amazing. I think it's safe to say the only other team that does right now is Minnesota with Allen and K. Williams.

Witten and Austin I could see trading if enough was given in return. it hurts to say because Witten is one of my top 3 favorite players in the NFL. But TEs and WRs are much easier to replace, so if multiple high picks are offered, I'd be willing to take the chance.

Anyone can be traded if the price is right - it just depends what the other team is willing to give up. The 90s dynasty was built off of the back of the Herschel Walker trade and many would have said that he should be considered untouchable.

I think it depends on where you are as a team and what compensation is being offered for the player in question.If you view the team as one that is on the decline you would trade away players to a contender in order to rebuild through the draft.On the other hand if you have a team that is considered a contender you wouldn't want to trade away your core players because they are key contributors to your team.

Did you know, Walker led the Cowboys in rushing AND receiving in 1987.

Plus, he played in just 12 of the 15 games that year.

209 Att, 891 yards, 7 TD's
60 Rec, 715 yards, 1 TD

Only Cowboy player to do that and one of the few (if not only) to have EVER done it....too lazy to check. :)

I'm liable to trade anyone at anytime, no one is safe.... on Madden.

But seriously, If the price was right, I'd probably trade any of them. It's still a business. You'd be foolish to trade the key players on your team though, why would you trade a franchise pass rusher? To go and draft one? Or trade your starting QB to go and get another starting QB?

Ive always wanted Herschel to come back to the Boys b4 he did... Just to be apart of the Super Bowl teams. I think he went to the Iggs after the Vikes, but it would have been nice to see him get a ring!

I was going to bring up the Herschel Walker ordeal, but someone beat me to the punch.

It would have to wow me, if I'm Jerry. Otherwise, no.

I'd trade Ratliff for A. Peterson and whoever their nose tackle is.
I'd trade Austin for L. Fitzgerald.

Everyone has their price. It just depends how stupid you want to get with it.

Why would you trade three of your best players in their prime, and one about to be, off a winning team? Championship windows are narrow in the NFL, particularly when it comes to franchise QB's. I dont get it.

Romo - trade for Peyton or Tom Brady.

Austin - Andre Johnson or Larry Fitzgerald.

Ware - three team trade for Troy Polamalu and Ed Reed. Send out a couple of first rounders w/Ware.

Witten - Vernon Davis and Michael Crabtree.

Ratliff - untouchable.

Why trade Romo for those ageing overrated QBs?

Romo?

No.


Austin?

No.


Ware?

No.


Witten?

Would have to be a hell of a good deal in return, only because I think Bennett could step in.


Ratliff?

HELL no.

The only guy on that list I wouldn't trade is Romo, and I'd even trade him if someone wanted to give me another proven QB + a #1 pick.

Everyone else on that list is replaceable, and you can still win without any of them, but the price would be high.

Right now, with our team where it is, the first two guys I'd trade are Austin and Witten...next tier would be Ratliff...next tier would be Ware...and Romo would be untouchable. We don't have another QB we could definitely win with, and it's very hard to replace a starting QB in this league, especially an above average one.

I think they once said Herschel Walker was untradeable.

How'd that work out for us?

Everyone is tradeable. Everyone

Gretzky, Ruth, Jabbar.....

Everyone.
