2023 Cowboys Free Agency

[boozeman]

Would you guys give up those picks plus the contract for a young Chris Jones or Fletcher Cox?

Because that's basically what he is.

I realize we are conditioned to learn that draft picks are gold and that since we "draft well", that means they should be clutched to our collective bosoms.

I am telling you this right now, if Simmons is part of a fire sale in Tennessee and only costs a first and a fourth?

I’d be so in.

Simmons is arguably the best DT in the league after Donald, I'd give up 26 and a 4 for him and then would be more than happy to give him 24/year.

But that would never happen obviously.

Simmons is a strong, strong player.

If someone wants nothing to do him, then...well...I think they deserve a dur.

Oh I think we all would take him. But it's not that simple.

the cap is real.

I'll be honest I do too. I get the argument for doing it but the contract is the real difficult part in these trades. You're not just giving up a first round pick. You're giving up a player on a cheap contract for the next 5 years.

And doing it with your eyes wide open. And a smile on your face.

Funk the draft pick when you could gain a sure thing and in their prime. Of course modern NFL salary structure depends on young talent with low salaries, but you have variances like Taco Charlton who cost nothing and repay the favor by giving you nothing. Or like this, in the other direction.

And you keep him out of Philadelphia, except once a year.

Simmons for a first and fourth would be a no brainer, but I'd guess there are teams with more draft ammunition than us willing to give up more if he were on the block.

 

[mcnuttz]

The Eagles have two 1st round picks, they'll get this guy...it's just what they do.

We draft OL, they draft DL.

[Cowboysrock55]

Yeah sounds like the sides are getting close now.

 

[armadillooutlaw]

Good sign. He's the main key at this point to keeping a top-5 defense intact.

 

[Cotton]

 

[boozeman]

Feh.

[Cotton]

Can't beat the price.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Perfect, wonder why it took so long to agree to a 1.5 million dollar deal. But anyway, glad to have him back.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Feh.

Yeah, he isn't even worth talking about.

That'll do, pig. That'll do.

If they get Watkins back, they might consider things done though. That's a crowded room.
