Trading his rights equals trading his contract.
Nobody will do that.
Jerry will have to eat this shit sandwich.
Defensive end Anthony Spencer needs microfracture surgery on his knee and is likely done for the season, owner Jerry Jones said Tuesday on his radio show.
Jones told KRLD 105.3 FM "The Fan" that he learned the news Monday night.
Spencer has been trying to recover from arthroscopic knee surgery in July. But loose cartilage remained a problem, he said last week, and bone was still making contact with bone.
Spencer played 34 snaps against Kansas City in Week 2 after a limited practice week. He practiced only one day in preparation for the Rams game and then was inactive on game day.

Spencer has nothing guaranteed beyond this season now. And what he got in franchise money he would have gotten in bonus on any deal as FA

Anthony Spencer may need surgery
By Calvin Watkins | ESPNDallas.com
Dallas Cowboys owner/general manager Dr. Jerry Jones said Tuesday defensive end Anthony Spencer may need microfracture surgery on his left knee, which would end his 2013 season.
"It's a real setback," Jones said on his radio show on KRLD-FM.
Spencer underwent surgery on a troublesome knee on July 25 and has practiced fewer than five times and played in just one game, the Week 2 loss at Kansas City.
Spencer was supposed to play just on third downs against the Chiefs, but ended up playing 34 snaps where he compiled two tackles and one quarterback hurry.
The next day, Spencer reported soreness in his knee but thought it was just normal after playing in a game for the first time this season. When the knee didn't respond to treatment, the Cowboys ruled Spencer out of last week's game against the St. Louis Rams.
Spencer said the knee was sore Sunday morning before the Rams game and it prevented him from even trying to participate in pregame warm-ups.
Last week, Spencer was asked if he needed microfracture surgery and he said no, despite ligament damage to the inside of his knee. Spencer said he was frustrated his health wasn't coming together.
"I have like soft cartilage on the inner side of my knee that's causing [the pain]," Spencer said last week. "It's not stopping the banging of the bone. It's going to take a little bit more time to heal, and we really don't have time right now."
But Spencer, who becomes a free agent after this season, was hoping that wasn't the case.
The Cowboys franchised Spencer, costing them $10.6 million, instead of allowing him to test the free agent market in the offseason.
The reasons were justified with Spencer coming off a career-year where he was named to the Pro Bowl as an injury replacement for Green Bay's Clay Matthews, after a career-high 11 sacks.
"Now here is a case of a guy that you almost have to tie him up to keep him off the field," Jones said. "You got to tie him up to (stop) taking the snaps. He was so diligent in his rehab and so focus on his rehab and the guy, the individual, I have the most empathy for is Spencer, because of the type of person that he is."

Damn Jerry for not being able to forsee Spencer would have a knee problem he never had previously.

The rest of the league seems to think we should be more heartbroken about this
