Kosar_For_President Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Some rumors have us trying to acquire Vincent Jackson. Just saying. Anyone hear anything else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gftChris Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Something about Doug Martin, but not the team. Presumably not us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudfly Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 saw a list of 4 teams who were supposed to be in the running on a deal for him......but we were not one of the teams they were discussing.... I dont see us trading for a WR with Gordon coming back in a couple weeks..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosar_For_President Posted October 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 I wouldn't be opposed to it though, if we could get him for a 3rd rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudfly Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 I wouldn't want to do it.......a 3rd round pick for a 10 year veteran doesn't seem like a smart move for a young building team.....and adding 10mil to our salary cap pretty much ties our hands for any future deals.... .....maybe if we were a step away from the SB and he put us over the top....but we're not.... Id rather save my 3rd pick for another WEST/KIRKSEY type player who will help for the next 10 years, than an old-expensive receiver who will only help for 1-2 years...

Axe Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 The problem with Doug Martin is he's run behind an Oline that's absolute trash for the last 2 yrs. And he was injured last yr.. He doesn't even look like the same guy we drafted 2 1/2 yrs ago.. I'd steer clear. VJ is a baller. I would be extremely pissed if all they got was a 3rd for him..

hx214 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 I wish they would go after a legit wideout. Even with Gordon coming back, there isn't much to speak of on this team. And it would never hurt to have another good WR to play opposite of Gordon I like Gabriel and Hawk enough, and they are good slot guys but it would be a huge shot in the arm to grab somebody that can play, esp if Cam misses more time. Austin hasn't put up any numbers, and if the run game continues to get stuffed it's going to be a long 2nd half of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And who's to say we won't trade it to, say, NYJ for them to grab Hundley? Since they're picking 5th, and Winston/Mariota have both gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevfan4life Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 God are we all gonna be hyping up a JFF trade to Dallas? They're not parting ways with Murray or Bryant which are probably the only players we would even think about parting ways with JFF for. Is a low first round pick from them worth it? It's gonna be somewhere near the very bottom of the 1st round so I dunno. I still don't want to see JFF go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not worry too much about trading our backup rookie QB until we've got to the end of the season, seen him in maybe a few series, know what's happening with the starter, and what other options are available in FA.

I don't think there appears to be any real talk of us trading JFF anyway, just fan rumble. It's kinda crazy to talk about trading JFF for their first round pick, and then using it to draft a QB too. While JJ is crazy, he's not crazy enough to blow up their QB position when they're 6-2 and playing in a fairly weak NFC east (minus Philly) Of course everything's on the table but I'm pretty sure there's nothing in play for JF to the cowboys.

Either Jerrah realizes the success of his team rest on Romo literally not being touched the entire rest of the season (not going to happen) and he does pull the trigger on a trade. This will help to endear the fanbase and maintain that 'buzz' even with Tony were to be injured and the season tank. -or- Nothing. Romo will most likely get hurt again and this glorious story of Dallas' return to glory goes down in flames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's because I don't like Dallas and don't mind for them to go down in flames, but JF would be nothing but a happy story in week 9 for them. Protecting romo is their best bet IMO. But Jerry isn't the most rational guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevfan4life Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Right now Jerry's asking himself....can Weeden carry us to the playoffs? Can Weeden at least allow Romo to rest for a few weeks? Maybe Weeds has made strides we don't know, he played decently enough last night from what I understand. It's possible you know....Cleveland is a special place to be a QB. A numpty like Weeden may have been in over his head here. But I guarantee someone shows Jerry that shovel pass against Detroit last year and he's making the call to someone. Who know maybe he'll call in Farve. That would be awesome to see.

Manzier Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Right now Jerry's asking himself....can Weeden carry us to the playoffs? I think Weeden is asking the same thing. I can honestly see him doing real well, in short spurts, for a series or 2, on a good team like the Cowboys. Like he did last night. But if Romo goes down for the season and they are like 8-2 and staring the playoffs in the face, I can see Weeden taking a big gulp, his eyes getting HUGE, and the bad decisions and throws starting. He's actually the PERFECT replacement for Romo. Will look GREAT until it really counts. Then it's pick city! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
