Why did the Steelers trade him? They traded him and then turned around and are in the market for a WR, why?

He's a locker room headache who thinks he's an all pro #1 WR when he's a solid second option. Our GM thought he was getting a bargain. Sadly not the case.

This says a lot about Coker

Nice. DJs trade value must’ve been sunk by his well known bad attitude and tendency for pouting

I just find it baffling that the Cowboys would even consider this trade in the first place. All the yapping from Jerry about going "all in" in the offseason and they didn't go after someone like Derrick Henry. Then they play bad football while the Eagles and Commanders are well ahead of them in the NFC East. Finally, they may not have Dak for a good while and so all signs point to no playoff run. So now is the time to make a trade? And for a guy that is unlikely to make an immediate impact and for that much compensation?

Jerry Jones "All in" = Jonathan Mingo

I actually think I DO understand lol.  I understand that when you're losing players will say things that are out of character. Diontae did not earn this super diva reputation people are trying to paint while here. The soft teams just go trading those talents away.  Diontae was easily one of the top names on the WR market, and we gave him to a team with championship aspirations for a 5th rounder. Not only that but we also gave up a pick as well.

For me it's the equivalent of when I'd trade in a game at GameStop and they'd offer me $2 to turn around and sell it for $30. I'd rather hold on to the game, and if I play it I play it, than get robbed bc I just wanted to move that piece. Part of the role Dan has is negotiation, negotiate something better (as shown in this trade.)

Managing a pro roster like you think of used xbox games...

Good stuff.  Huddle delivers.

From a production standpoint, Dionte did produce, he just wasn't worth the headache.

I was never upset what we got for Johnson. 

Even though a ravens 5th and a panthers 6th is like 3-7 picks apart?

Honestly the core of Legette and Coker is good. Can always supplement with vets. Overall, great trade for us. 

I’d rather bring in a solid vet WR and spend most of those picks on defense. A QB needs to be drafted somewhere
