A further of confidence for the LT position

The New Orleans Saints have traded two-time Pro-Bowl left tackle Jamaal Brown to Washington. Adam Schefter reports for ESPN that the the picks are conditional and most likely will result in the teams swapping picks in the third through seventh rounds. Brown is in the last year of his deal, so this amounts to a one-year look.

This could mean a win-win scenario for the Cowboys. Either Jerry thinks the options currently on the team are better than Brown (win for our O); or Jerry's assessment of Brown is that he isn't worth trading down two rounds in next year's draft (win for our D).

Of course it's possible that Jerry's assessment is way off, that Brown will return to form. It's also possible that Loomis won't deal to Jerry. But this sort of deal used to be Jerry's bread and butter: a one year look-see deal on an elite player coming back from injury. The old Jerry couldn't have passed this one up, which says a lot about this team and its management; and it says a lot about the fans' expectations that a bunch of posts didn't immediately go up that Jerral missed out again.
