They aren't giving up Minkah if they really intend to build for the future.

They're tanking on purpose, they'd trade just about anyone for the right price other than probably Wilkens since they picked him.

Rumor, and hate linking this prick, but Holy shit that's a lot of years

and.....

The guarantee is what matters here, but that is stupid for a RB.

The Cowboys just handing out money like ****ing candy, Jaylon then Collins...here comes Zeke with more to follow.

So you want to trade a 2nd round pick, to replace our 2nd round pick?

If it makes us better today the yes.

Ok Bill O'Brien relax.

LMAO

Jerry is an idiot if this is true.

FIFY

In response to Zeke news...

Chris Mortensen @mortreport - 7 minutes ago

Sense of urgency for obvious reasons. This deal is NOT done and has real issues to be resolved. Clock is ticking.

All deals are really 3 year deals. Neither him nor Elliot expect him to play out the deal and the guarantees will most likely be up after the 3rd year.

This whole thing has been a fiasco of conflicting information

The sports media has been using the Cowboys as a content mine for Jerrah's entire tenure. When they don't have anything to talk about, they'll talk about the Cowboys.

And when the Cowboys have anything worth talking about, they'll REALLY talk about the Cowboys.

So in lieu of complete information, you're gonna get anything they hear from anybody just as quickly as they hear it. This is just what happens when the Cowboys are actually part of the news cycle (as opposed to their ordinary practice of being irrelevant but forced into the news cycle anyway...)

Honestly, I think the Cowboys are smart doing this.

First off, it makes the locker room happy, and the fans to an extent.

Second, it shows other players in the league that they will pay them.

Third, they are getting all these in before the next CBA where the cap is likely to jump and the team will have even more money, thus making these large contracts look bad now, but very palatable later.

It would be smart of the Chiefs to do the same with Mahomes. Give him $40 million a year before the new CBA kicks in and his agent can ask for even more.

We will have to see how it is structured because the current reporting is 6 year extension on top of his already 2 years left on his deal so it would be for a total of 8 years.

Huge mistake. Jerry is desperate and he doesn't have an elite QB that can win without a stud defense and a pound it RB. They will regret this contract next season.

They are a 6-10 squad without him.

Too much hysteria over contracts that are going to be nbd by the time the actual new money portion would really kick in.

The Chargers reportedly want a 1st and 5th for Melvin Gordon.

LMAO

Everybody talks about the Amari, Zeke, and Dak contracts.. so where does that leave Byron Jones? Is he the odd man out? I would love to be able to trade for him, but I don’t think it’s very realistic since the cowboys actually have a shot to go deep

Goff getting the largest guarantee in history it sounds like.

BoB ain't ****ing fired yet. Can you blame them?

Just waiting for that CB trade that will never come..

It is clear that other teams are asking a lot for any decent CB that Veach might be interested in.

I'd give a 3rd for Melvin. But then I'd have to pay him... but a 1st and a 5th? GTFO

The market for a corner is like OT and QB. Very small and expensive due to lack of quality around the league.

I wouldn’t hold my breath

If the chiefs aren’t planning on signing jones then we could recoup a few picks next offseason in a trade if we trade away some picks for a CB now. Either way I say we go all in for a SB

Think they'd accept 1st round picks in 2022? That's the next time the Jags have a 1st rounder

I wouldn’t give them shit. **** them

Hand me down

Well it looks dead on that trade for a CB front.

I would definitly have expected at least a Charvarius Ward type of trade.

They're going into Sunday's game with a trio of Fuller-Breeland-Ward and terrible CBs behind at this stage of their career in Smith and Fenton.

Using safeties to play cornerback if needed doesn't reassure me.

Anyways, we'll see I guess.

I think they'll just try to get thru until Claiborne comes back, then just roll with Fuller-Breeland-Ward-Claiborne and those other couple dudes.

It looks to me like a pretty big risk that could backfire.

Sounds familiar.

Yeah, I have just read that article where Veach is talking a lot about the CB position: https://salinapost.com/2019/09/01/ch...ter-decisions/

It is clear that obtaining a CB is hard and would require to overpay. When a team tells you they're good, that's when you know you would have to really overpay to get that player.

At this point, they will just roll with what they have and continue monitoring CBs around the league.

I already know though that I wilil be frustrated with the CB play early on.

Yeah, realistically, the time to do something with the Cb spot was in the spring. I dunno if they thought they'd be better there or what happened, but they seem to have kinda had to scramble a bit, again.

It's frustrating.

I wonder if they're just hoping to get by early until teams that suck realize they suck and want to trade someone.

Ward so far isn't bad but he hasn't showed the progress we were expecting during training camp and preseason.

And then I'm pretty sure Veach thought he could manage a trade if need be but now he is realizing teams need CBs and they're not trading away a CB just like that right before the season is about to start.

This is the one position that could derail a SB run.

I think Veach has a price he’s willing to pay and isn’t willing to go over it. He’s said for months that they have been trying to get a corner but that the deal has to be right.

We may be pleasantly surprised at how Breeland (one of the better corners in the second half of last year) performs. Playing for a new deal.

Year 4 was when Fullers brother broke out and was an all pro. Maybe this is Fullers year, too.

Ward played well last year.

Claiborne is average and possibly gets rejuvenated pairing up with Badger again.

If that's the case, that's great that he set his price and won't go over it.

But, in an all in year, wouldn't you be a little more apt to pay a bit more?

It's just been very weird in how they've played the corner back game here.

Who said he isn't?

His actions of not trading for anyone?

Unless it's just that other teams are asking a ridiculous amount that is. Which is possible.

This is probably what he’s waiting on.

If the Cardinals start out 0-5....you’ll start hearing the PP rumors again.

Yeah, I think that's probably where we end up to be honest.

Heres what Veach is hoping for:

Breeland gets back to the guy that earned a big FA deal with Carolina and only allowed a passer rating of 59 down the stretch for GB last year. He does that, he’s our Sean Smith.

Kendall Fuller follows in his brothers footsteps and has a breakout year in his fourth season in the NFL.

Chavarious Ward improves on his solid play from last year.

Morris Claiborne has a career year reuniting with Honey Badger and gives us solid play.

The safety play helps the corners immensely.

The run defense is improved enough to put opposing passing offenses in 3rd and long and the corners can cover for long enough for the pass rush to effect passes.

If those things happen, we will be just fine.

Well I mean it's like, look at the moves he has made so far. When I look at them I sure don't think, "wow this guy is really stingy."

The moves show he clearly does not mind overpaying to get what he wants. Now, what do you suspect the reason is?

Maybe i'm in the minority, but when you need that many "ifs" to happen in the NFL on a certain unit, it's probably not likely

Yeah, he's usually one to overpay and be aggressive so i'm guessing it's just outrageously expensive to get one.

I'm not even really sure who would be available at CB anyway. Most teams are lucky to even have 2 they like.

There will be options, but outside of the Miami Dolphins...nobody is throwing in the towel Week One. Gotta have some patience.

The only one that really lines up with the Chiefs in terms of finances too, is Peterson.

I'd rather trade for a young one, but we can't trade for one and give them a new contract.

Is there a CB available that he can trade a 1st and a 2nd for who's maybe 10% better than someone he could've had for a 3rd and some roster fodder?

{grumble}

Patrick Peterson is by far the best option for the Chiefs.

He's perfect for this team with his two years left on his contract and maybe two last years of elite play. I'm not sure I trust that Cardinals' GM to be reasonable though.

I think they're counting on scheme helping them out as much as anything. Not making guys go man as much should help them from getting burned as bad.

At least I'm hoping anyway.

I'm sure we'll be tired of getting beat in the soft spots of a zone, but hopefully it will be better than getting crushed.

Who we talking about for the 3rd and roster fodder?

Edit: nevermind. You think they'd have traded him to us?

HAVE WE TRADED FOR ANY MOAR GOD DAMNED PIECES OF SHIT YET?

Veach is hoping for several planets to align.

Pieces of shit? No, nothing like that yet.

We did sign that bucket of puke Shady and trade for that giant ball of snot Martinas Rankin, though
