2024 Cowboys Offseason Thread

Too bad the neck injury ruined him. Had a great future here otherwise till he started having the probs.

Seemed like a good kid and he was outstanding his rookie year.

It's really not that hard.

Nobody wanted Fields. Nobody. Mac Jones, basically the same deal as Fields. Nobody wanted him.

At least two other teams were trying to trade for Lance when we did, and those two known teams were AFC Teams.

That said, yes I do believe the Jones' got wind of what was going on in Prescott's personal life, and I do think that played a part.

On what basis would other teams want Lance so badly? What did he show in games that would put him ahead of Mac and Fields? I submit not a dam thing.

One of those other teams was my Bills. We can assume that they did not offer a 4th. Other teams that had interest were the Ravens and Lions. Again, only the Cowboys were "aggressive" and STUPID enough to offer a 4th.

A quick Google search revealed that the other teams' offers were nowhere near what Jerry gave up. The articles do not state what they precisely offered, but it is clear that they were not even close.

By the way, the Ravens and Lions showed interest, but did not make an actual offer. They only talked. The Bills were the only team to do so other than the Cowboys.

Report: Bills, Ravens, Lions all showed Trey Lance trade interest

Several NFL teams reportedly showed interest in a Trey Lance trade with the 49ers.

Also, while I'm at it. Ian Rapport reports that 4 teams were in the mix for Mac Jones. Although Jonathon Jones reported that there was only one offer, so it's a matter of who to believe.

As far as Fields goes, there were also other teams, but he requested to go to the Steelers. CBS Sports reported that the Falcons and Raiders showed interest. Although I doubt a formal offer was made given that Fields said he wanted to go to the Steelers.

I get a kick out of talking heads saying, "Well, unless the Jets can call Britt Brown and McCarthy to find out how to manage Tyron Smith, he's going to struggle."

Uhm...couldn't the Jets just ask Tyron Smith?

 

[Aggiepride]

And you believe that?

Why would you believe that other teams made serious bids for Lance, but not that?

The Lance trade stuff was widely reported, and by many different reporters (league guys and team reporters for the different teams involved). We also know from draft reports last yr the Vikings were actively trying to get Lance.

I get a kick out of people that think "practice" today means anything at all, especially to guys with the experience and talent of someone like Tyron Smith.

I think the CBA mandates that there can be only 4 contact practices DURING the season. The rest of "practice" is walk throughs and jogging shit.

"nowhere near what Jerry gave up"

The other teams were AFC teams and reportedly offered a 6th rd pick. I'm sure the Niners strong preference was to move Lance out of the NFC. So of course the Cowboys were going to have to offer a little more.

And I do think we all know why they did it now. They knew about this Prescott case.

Its a 4th rd fucking pick. JFC some of you (including dumbass Zoners) act like we traded away multiple early picks or something. Will he work out? I have no idea. But he is young, he is talented, he's big, he has a very strong arm and he is also very athletic. He didnt flop miserably in the NFL, he got hurt a couple of times and the Niners found a gem and decided to roll with that. I'd rather take a chance on a guy like that (speaking of Lance) in most cases than some mediocre talent type player who was drafted sometime on day three.
