I wouldn't want to trade Austin this season either unless they gave us an excellent pick in return. None of that fourth or fifth round shit though. Odds are we miss on that type of pick. This year might be as good as any for the Cowboys with a Romo led team. The O-line is playing well, the defense looks great, we have a talented WR/TE unit and Murray is still healthy.A lot of speculation today on Twitter about Dallas possibly shopping Austin to Detroit since Nate Burleson broke his arm in a car accident.
The Lions did work out Anthony Armstrong though.
Agreed, it'd be a tough pill to swallow right now as I stand here relative to the team that we have now, but I think we'd look back on it as the right move in 2 years.I would move Austin for a second or third rounder. In a second. Clearing off his contract being the primary motivation.
It is a tough decision thinking you are "right there". But with his contract, and his ridiculous hamstrings? If you can get a quality pick, you take it and worry about the regrets later.Agreed, it'd be a tough pill to swallow right now as I stand here relative to the team that we have now, but I think we'd look back on it as the right move in 2 years.
I'd do it for Fairley.It is a tough decision thinking you are "right there". But with his contract, and his ridiculous hamstrings? If you can get a quality pick, you take it and worry about the regrets later.
I wouldn't give him away. But if Detroit offered a 2 or 3, or a quality starter? Bye Miles.
Desperation to make people stop triple-covering Megatron.I would for a second, but why the hell would Detroit do that?
Because they have the same delusions of winning their division in a down year as Jerry.I would for a second, but why the hell would Detroit do that?
And we don't want people to stop people from double and tripple covering Dez? Lions aren't going to win anything this year. Why would they make that desperation move?Desperation to make people stop triple-covering Megatron.
We know he wouldn't. That is not the question really. This is the same man who clutched onto Martellus Bennett for dear life.And we don't want people to stop people from double and tripple covering Dez? Lions aren't going to win anything this year. Why would they make that desperation move?
By the way, no way in hell Jerry would move Austin at this point of the season. In his mind that would be sacrificing the superbowl this year for a second round pick.
I didn't say anything about Jerry, we already know this shit. He thinks everyone on the roster is gem.And we don't want people to stop people from double and tripple covering Dez?

Depends on how safe everyone's job is in Detroit. People will bet their house to get back out of a hole. GMs and coaches have made dumber gambles hoping to turn 8-8 into 10-6.Lions aren't going to win anything this year. Why would they make that desperation move?
My thought with Austin is that he can't be relied on. When the game is on the line and you need to get the win, odds are he is on the sideline with some type of an injury. I have actually been pretty outspoken that we should cut him after this year or as soon as we can given our cap situation. There would be growing pains with Williams but ultimately I think he can be every bit the complimentary player that Austin is in our offense.Yes, we have a good shot at winning the division but at the same time I doubt we'd diminish our chances that much by trading Austin given how bad the division really is.
I wouldn't just give Austin away but if we were to get a top few rounds offer for him it should be an easy decision.
Teams are already doing that, in case you didn't notice in the Giants and Rams games.And we don't want people to stop people from double and tripple covering Dez?
