That one missed start wasn't injury. He was benched last week
He is, and will be our second best LB. But when you announce this big trade that everyone has to wait and see what it is, this isnt earth shattering. Wilson is slightly better than the guys we have not numbered 0
I think the Cowboys will make another move.
I guess the one positive is all they gave up was a 7th. Still I fail to see any point in the trade. They got so many holes on D. The offense has been sloppy. Ferguson too many mistakes. Offensive tackles too many pressures. Too many penalties .
well the other positive is we put an actual MLB on the roster to help teach the position.
I definitely don't hate it. Not on an expiring contract or anything. I do think it is a clue that they are not leaning on using high picks on LB next draft. which is a shame
Be careful what you wish for...
Exactly. Another way of looking at this...the Cowboys paid $7.5M. This kid will cost them like 2.5M this year and $6.5 per going forward. So about $10M this season. Just spend the $10M on a better player in the first placeBe careful what you wish for...
The pass rush got good things done on defense. Nothing else was good on defense
Not sure who you are referencing? Logan Wilson? He has no guaranteed money left in 26 and 27. Worst case scenario he costs us a 7th and this years cap hit (under $3M). If he is on the roster next year he costs us about $6.5M with his current deal but good chance that is reduced I think. He was going to be cut so I'm guessing he doesn't expect $6.5M next year but if he does we can just cut him as well. This year is meaningless of course.
Yeah, but why give up the 7th if it is only for this season? We have 8 games left and need a 7-1 finish against the toughest schedule in the league to make the playoffs. 9-7-1 loses out to every 10-7 team. So that ain't happening. And if we are going to pay him $6.5M next year, why not wait and see what all is out there? The kid is a decent player who will certainly help this sorry group, but it seems to me this team should be selling not buying
Lol, the same could be said why trade a high 3rd for a guy (Pickens) that is only here for one season? But it will lead to lots of media exposure for sure.
I don't think it will be for just this season or at least will only be that if he plays like crap which is possible. I really like this move. Worst case scenario you give up a 7th. How many 7th even make the squad? I think he starts here next year at less than $6M per. low risk move though either way which is why I like it and do we have a bigger need than a LBer who can tackle?
What you say is the only thing that makes sense. I think they plan on having him here next season.
