Around SBN: VIDEO: The Daily Show Talks Jeremy Lin

T-Choice

Photobucket




There's a lot of talk coming out of San Diego about TC being traded to the Chargers?

Don't know any details and was curious to see if anyone on BTB knows anything!

I would hate to see him go, he's become one of my favorite cowboys to watch (when he actually gets the chance!). So unless the Bolts are giving us Vincent Jackson or Darren Sproles, Doesnt make much sense to me.

Jerry Jones, C'mon man!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For Cromartie?????

Oh please lord, make this a joke. Cro is one of the worst starting CBs in the NFL. He gets some picks but he is a horrible tackler and takes way too many chances. Plus, after the ’ole against the Jets, I cant imagine anyone would have interest in him.

How about Choice and our 1st round pick

For RFA Marcus McNeil? Now that I would consider.

No way the Bolts do that.

co-sign

that would be a killer deal for us : )

Is playing smart too much to ask?

by silverblue5 on Feb 5, 2010 5:46 PM CST up reply actions  

i personally like the idea

but if this happened, Dallas can cut newman and walk away from his deal under the new rules. If this trade happened, then newman might be gone… which i also like. but I’m a newman hater so im bias ha

Yeah I dont' see anything special in Newman

2009 Dallas Cowboys: better than the Philadelphia Eagles

2009 New York Jets: my super early just-moments-after-the-Colts-game trendy Super Bowl XLV pick; oh yeah, also better than the Dolphins

2009-2010 Dallas Mavericks: 57-25, even though they beat the Celtics and then lost to the freaking Raptors...

by Grady90 on Feb 7, 2010 1:17 PM CST up reply actions  

Cromartie better than Newman?

Insane. I’m not saying Newman is an All-Pro, but I might be saying Cromartie kind of sucks.

by TCBinNYC on Feb 8, 2010 2:09 PM CST up reply actions  

Would Cromartie play FS (with his size)?

Because otherwise I don’t really see how the trade would make a ton of sense.

If I had a nickel for every Super Bowl the Eagles have won, I would have zero nickels.

by Cowboyfan729 on Feb 5, 2010 2:27 PM CST reply actions  

Hmm

that is an interesting topic, where would he play, i don’t think he is a solid enough tackler to play FS, but didn’t Wade draft him?

by nicholas.rodriguez on Feb 5, 2010 9:13 PM CST up reply actions  

interesting

I would hate to see Tashard go, he’s a versatile back who gives us great depth in the backfield and brings great energy and attitude as well, and both years so far we’ve needed him when Marion and Felix were banged up. Having said that, we probably need CB depth more than a RB, and a backup RB is one of the easiest positions to get in the mid-rounds of the draft.

by scottmaui on Feb 5, 2010 2:28 PM CST reply actions  

If Choice does leave the RB I want the Boys to take is

Lagarrett Blount, that dude is a monster, I don’t care too much about the punch, bad decision but he did do everything he had to do to get back on the field and at least it wasn’t any criminal activity

by nicholas.rodriguez on Feb 5, 2010 9:14 PM CST up reply actions  

I think its all bs...

Does not make much sense to me…

by scandrick32 on Feb 5, 2010 2:41 PM CST reply actions  

it makes sense

when u think that Dallas can lose choice and replace him with a late round pick, or a low-mid grade FA, remember dallas can’t sign a big free agent and a 3rd string RB would be attainable. Also, When Barber and Jones are healthy, choice gets used very very little, essentially dallas would be giving up choice, a guy who is rarely used, for cromartie a guy whose talent is unbelievable, also the year Cromartie had 10 ints, WADE PHILLIPS was his D coordinator. if you think about it, it makes very good sense.

Also I don’t see Cromartie switching to Safety, he’s been a corner in this league for his entire career, and I think his tackling is pretty decent, but I’m not sure he is a “sure” tackler.

in the end, we give up a player we rarely use, and can replace with ease, for talent that is very rare, and a player who excelled in Wade Phillip’s scheme. like I said it will be interesting to see what happens to Newman if this actually happens. if not at least this has been something to talk about

No team is going to trade for Barber

His contract is way too big, he has been getting dinged up lately, he is not nearly as explosive and punishing as he used to be, and there is the possibility that the Cowboys will use the uncapped year to shed themselves of big bad contracts, and MBIII is near the top of that list.

In short, the Cowboys will get nothing for Barber

I disagree barbers contract is a "big bad contract"

Roy williams contract would be in that category..Barber still is productive and would start for many squads in the nfl…He still runs hard and is great in pass protection. If you think they just release the guy you are delusional.

by scandrick32 on Feb 5, 2010 8:05 PM CST up reply actions  

I don't think they will but it is possible

and if you think that Barber’s contract is commensurate with his performance last year, you really should not be calling anybody ‘delusional’

Barber vs. Choice

contract issues aside, I would rather us get rid of Barber and move forward with Felix and Choice. I think it’s quite possible Barber’s best days are behind him, and Choice could turn out to be a really exceptional back when given a starting opportunity. But in the realities of the business end of things, I don’t think that’s likely.

by scottmaui on Feb 6, 2010 2:53 PM CST up reply actions  

correction, iCowboy

The Cowboys can sign 1 big free agent. That’s the rules of the Final Eight, which applies to the Cowboys.

by TCBinNYC on Feb 8, 2010 2:12 PM CST up reply actions  

@iCowboy

Yeah, You’re right, Wade Phillips didn’t coach the Cowboys in ‘07, did he? Geez louise…
Since Barber and Felix have both been injured the last two seasons, it makes great sense to keep Choice. Newman played well last season. He will be the starter this coming season, and there is no way that Cromartie is gonna play a back-up role.
The rumour’s a whole bunch bull s**t anway.

by iCowboy on Feb 5, 2010 2:59 PM CST up reply actions  

Hmm not much difference

as well as Cromartie is still in his prime and Newman is on the wrong side of 30, and with this it would give us 4 corners that can play and we might be able to get something for Newman, Wade did draft Cromartie and Cromartie if I remember correctly had his best year w/ Wade as well

by nicholas.rodriguez on Feb 5, 2010 9:18 PM CST up reply actions  

Can you please direct me to the place you got these stats from?

by MartinL on Feb 10, 2010 3:21 AM CST up reply actions  

It's BS

Hacksaw Hamilton pulled it out of his culo (as he does almost everything) and even the other hosts on that station could only say, “well, that’s Hacksaw for ya”.

With that said, Choice probably has the highest trade value of any non-starter on the team, and based on how little I saw of him last year, it makes sense to trade him if they can find an every-down player at another position.

But forget Cromartie. The entire SD fan base wants him cut.

Jerry don't do that!!!!!!!!!!

if they wanna a RB offer barber for a second pick, but if they really want choice stole those chargers the most you can, kinda a straight trade choice for his 1round pick, or marcus mcneil for choice and a low round pick

by ratware on Feb 6, 2010 12:08 PM CST reply actions  

Choice has more value to opposing teams than Barber

And with Barber’s contract and production, you might be lucky to get a 3rd rounder for him. 2nd might be out of the question.

by TCBinNYC on Feb 8, 2010 2:16 PM CST up reply actions  

I love the three headed monster we have

and would hate to see any of them go but logic tells me that all of them are capable of starting and Dallas likes to throw some too. This leaves someone out and after last year, I think Barber lost some juice and noway is Felix going anywhere. That leaves Choice as the only real trade bait and he wants more playing time and deserves it.

by Martin79 on Feb 6, 2010 2:54 PM CST reply actions  

LT saying he's not going to be a Charger next year

I wonder how this Choice story plays into it, but they fit together… if LT feels that the Chargers aren’t going to keep him, that would give credence to their need for Choice.

I wonder if Choice was the mystery "Young Player"

…….that there was supposedly a good offer for early in the season? There was a lot of speculation that it might have been Bennett, or Spencer, but maybe it was Choice?

by John Boy on Feb 6, 2010 3:27 PM CST reply actions  

No

It was Bennett. They supposedly were offered a 2nd round pick from the Bengals.

by Cowboysaficionado on Feb 6, 2010 4:56 PM CST up reply actions  

Bad move

Barber’s a mediocre running back and I still don’t quite trust that Felix’s injury bug is gone.

take the deal

i enjoy the three headed monster we have, and i like choice better than barber…. but there’s no way we can get rid of barber and his contract short of straight releasing him… so keep barber and felix, trade choice for cromartie… this way we have great depth at a position (cb) that will utiilize depth more, and we solve our pr/kr problems
