Many of us have echoed the same message for many years. We'll never win anything as long as that redneck snake oil salesman remains above ground. And, even after that putz is 6 feet in the dirt (where he belongs), we'll still have Goof Son to deal with.
Just saw this a while ago. They get the man for a third rounder. Unless Young is a total bust, Jerry just got punked again.
Tell us how easy.
I wouldn’t call him injury prone outside of suffering a pretty severe knee injury which I think has taken him a couple years to recover from.
Tennessee was having by a fire sale. A bag of footballs would’ve likely been good enough to open those discussions. You know it just as well as we do.
Yep. Been tons of discussions across the interwebz that despite the brave face on keeping Henry they would have traded him for a decent offer. And, Dallas should have thrown something out there because this running game isn’t taking us anywhere. The “brain trust” gambled on Pollard and like usual they were wrong.
Considering Tennessee said they were not trading him unless somebody came in with a crazy offer, I don't see it.
I negotiate deals for a living. You always say that no deal will be made unless someone makes a crazy offer. And then a lowball one is made and negotiations suddenly open anyway. Our team has proven to be very poor negotiators, so if Tennessee asked (as an example) for a 2nd, we aren’t strong enough to come back with a counter that has merit. We pull off trades every now and then, but Jerry has always been a piss poor negotiator.
The key difference between Jerry and Roseman. One is accountable and not afraid to take a calculated risk to win. The other, well, you know all too well.
Well, considering they were in the middle of a fire sale, as you say, and yet they didn’t trade him…. Like I said. I guess nobody else had a bag of footballs, either.
Yeah. Just like they said. They were not trading him. Not unless somebody blew them away with an offer well above par.
It’s wise never to trust anything that comes out of any NFL executive’s mouth unless/until something happens. From a trade (or draft) perspective, everything should be considered smoke. Personally, I think Henry (among others) was available, but teams may not have been able to iron out terms. I’d suspect that salary retention was an issue. As we saw with Amari Cooper, it’s (usually) hard to trade a player for higher return compensation after he signs a new contract. It’s even tougher with RBs, since diminishing returns happen much faster.
Bling bling.
What in the fuck is that?
