Trade deadline thread


SuperBowlBound

Recommended Posts

I've seen a number of threads regarding specific players before tomorrow's trade deadline.

Realistically, does anyone expect Hurney to do anything? We're already without a 2018 4th from the Andy Lee deal (a pick that the Browns will undoubtedly bungle) and I'm not sure how steep a price they would want to pay to upgrade certain spots.

@Jeremy Igo, any educated guesses based on what you've observed?

Again, if there is any year to do it its this one. But Hurndawg doesn't personally benefit from rocking the boat so I imagine they'll sit on their hands and talk about cliches that involve the words "process" and "trusting" and all the other stuff that's never put a trophy in the case.

i can see him making small move for a backup oline in exchange for a 5th. Id trade our 3rd rounder for a above average LT. That way we kick kalil out to RT and even tho its still expensive its not as bad as i see him being better especially with how our scheme has the RG help the RT and the LG slide over his man and then help C here and there.

We should definitely be inquiring about Hilton. We desperately need a field stretcher. Enough of this always focusing on the future type of approach. Strike while the iron is hot. Seems like the future never seems to actually get here with this franchise. 

Are you willing to give up a 2nd or 3rd round pick for him? He has around $4M in salary left for this year which isn't a big deal but the last 3 years of his deal carry salaries of $11M, $13M and $14.5M. That's market value for him during his last 3 prime years, but it also probably means we have to let Norwell go after the year.

Yes. Some of that base could be converted to bonus if we needed it for cap flexibility. 

As for Norwell, he's a guy coaches and fans love due to his effort level but in terms of talent he's fairly easily replaceable. If he's going to command big money for an OG I'd let him walk anyway. I just don't think you can afford to carry two big money OGs. It'd be reminiscent of the days when we were limited by the Double Trouble contracts.

Fair enough. I tend to agree on Norwell. Watching him on pulling plays is very frustrating. He clearly doesn't have the athleticism to do so.

    • I like that a lot; Ware from Troy and also Khalil Mack who played at University of Buffalo
    • I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛
    • bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
