Cowboys trade for Porter Jr.

[Genghis Khan]

I think at this point it's just going to be hard as fans to trust our defense until this team can show consistent and sustained changes. We all have gotten so used to the inconsistency even when we have a good defense going back to the Quinn years.

Exactly right.

Always banking on those comp picks. Which by the way sort of assumes you're not going to do anything in free agency. Convenient excuse I guess.

They certainly know themselves well. They'll get a 3rd each for Pickens and Porter as they will make sure to sign no one of consequence

If Porter plays well and they let them both walk for comp picks, while obviously doing nothing else of substance in FA, you might as well just fold up the franchise.

I don't think they will let both walk. But I have doubts they will keep both as well.

I definitely don't think they'll keep both unless Jerry says fuck it because he's 85.

But they have to keep one, letting them both walk would be malpractice, although that's nothing new with how they've approached FA for 15 years.

Well now you can very much see yourselves out, bitches.

 

[Bipo]

Yeah, I'm sure we'll get a player as good as Porter Jr with that 3rd round comp if we let him leave.

You'd think after 24 thousand posts or whotnot I'd realize people have no context into what you might have said at lenght in another post or thread.

Yeah, I definitely think Dallas's #2 need was an elite CB, and with one landing in their laps of course they've gotta go get him.

Of course the #1 need was pass rush, as always.

But the run yardage numbers and lack of impact plays and turnovers tell us, that key as that CB was, the team is more than one player away from being what I'd comfortably call Superbowl-caliber.

But isn’t that the realization almost every year?

And therein lies the problem.

I believe they will extend one and tag the other ..

I mean letting either go for a future third round comp pick feels extremely dumb. So yeah, this is at least what I would do.

First thing I saw when I flipped on ESPN and it was in the scroll. I thought I was hallucinating it along with everything else.

We got Barham at 92, but yeah, you are correct.

This comes down to the cap, and they can't pay Dak, CeeDee, Quinnen, Pickens, Smith, Bland, and Porter. And Hell, Guyton's going to fuck around and become an upper tier salary as well.

Bland just fing has to go, period. He's the Osa of the secondary.

Yeah, if he's not ball hawking INT's he's a barely above average player.

How do you feel about the trade?

Rash and ultimately it won’t matter.
