Sam Hurd's name has been popping up on trade block chatter. According to Clarence Hill, an NFL source said Hurd is indeed being shopped.
The Cowboys have denied they are actively pursuing a trade for Hurd, admitting only that "teams have called about him" but they "are not ready to do anything yet." Yet is the operative word.

I like Hurd
but this makes sense to me. Knocking on wood to forestall any more injuries, it’s the deepest position the team has.
FREE THE OGLETREE!!!
There's no need for him
Hurd will never break out and become a starter. And we’re already 4 deep with starters. Add a prospect in Ogletree and there’s no reason for us to have Hurd as a 6th reciever. If we ever need to put our 6th WR on the field we’re done for the season anyway.

and Holley could make the team
and play special teams and be cheaper than Hurd. WE`re pretty deep at LB and CB as well. We really dropped the ball developing our OL.
bleh
If I hear Holley’s name again I’m gonna puke. It’s a good story but he’s not even close to the receiver Hurd is. If Hurd is gone I’d use that open roster spot and carry one of the db’s that’s likely to get cut like McCann or Church. Hell, I’d take Hudgins over Holley.

I would understand this.
And honestly for Hurd, I kind of hope he does get traded. I think that he could have an opportunity to be a 3 WR in some places.

He could probably start in Cleveland.

Chiefs – There is no way Sam Hurd would beat out Dwayne Bowe or Chris Chambers. That is ridiculous.
Skins – There is no way Sam Hurd would beat out either Santana Moss or the group of Joey Galloway, Mike Furrey, Bobby Wade, and Devin Thomas.
Bucs – This is much more of a gray area because most of the Bucs receivers are young but I still don’t see Hurd finishing in the top two of a group of Arrelious Benn, Michael Clayton, Sammie Sloughter, and Mike Williams.
Bills – This might be the easiest team for Hurd to crack in with since their only real legit WR is Lee Evans. Still though, Hurd wouldn’t be a lock competing with the former second round pick James Hardy as well as Marcus Easley and Roscoe Parrish.
Browns – See Below
Simply put, Hurd is far from a lock to start for even one other team in the NFL (with the Bills being the only one I could see him starting on in a realistic scenario).

I think he could be a #3

If there's a team looking to trade for Hurd...
…it’s probably to at least compete for that 2nd spot. Hurd makes less and less sense each year for the Cowboys, but especially as a #6 … this area, at least to me, is reserved for young prospects overflowing with the ever-elusive “potential”
Given the number of special teams contenders in the running, Hurds time here is in jeopardy IMHO.
Original Pet-Cats: Duane Thomas, Roger Staubach, Walt Garrison, Charlie Waters, Bob Lilly
Too bad the Vikings...
just traded for Miami’s Greg Camarillo. They gave up Benny Sapp to get him:
http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/Vikings-trade-Sapp-to-Dolphins-96791885
Wonder if we could’ve grabbed Kleinsasser or a Guard for Hurd? Even at 33 years old, Kleinsasser would be a good stop-gap until Phillips comes back.

If they could get a good solid backup center or guard
I would be okay with trading Hurd, although you always love having guys like Hurd on your team who work really hard to get the most out of their abilities. His character is off the charts.
In Romo we Trust
I would like it a lot if we got a 2nd or 3rd year back up center / G for Hurd
I also wish him luck he is one of the good guys.
I said in the other thread he wouldn't make the cut...
Hurd is probably going to be cut so trying to get something for him makes sense…No way we are keeping WRs….
I think one of the reasons they are wanting to move Hurd...
is to try and retain Holley.

That would be terrible. If they trade Hurd, it’s probably because they only want to carry 5 WR’s and they think they’ll get something decent in return. Holley should go back to the PS.

That's what I'm thinking.
They won’t let him go for nothing. Just because he’s buried on the depth chart doesn’t mean he can’t come in and contribute. He’s not only a ST guy, but they put him in during running/ single WR formations. He has a good rapport with Romo and probably knows Garrett’s system by heart..

I was trying to post from my phone (still working the bugs out) but anyways
I’m with Aaron. Hurd has value now and in the future both on the team or if we trade him. He can’t start for this team but does a good job coming of the bench and playing special teams. If his traded there are plenty of guys that can fill his role on the team.
Hurd’s biggest contribution to the team this year could be to add OL depth through a trade. I could definitely see anther Bobby Carpenter type of trade with a team were its a win win for both sides.

Has nothing to do with the cap...
its a numbers game…and if we aren’t keeping 6 wrs Hurd is going to be cut…can’t be more clearer than that people.
There's no practical reason for 6 veteran wide recievers
Why do you need 6 wide recievers? Do you plan on having 3 WRs out to injury?
The only reason you need to cary 6 WRs is if you’re developing them as prospects. And the only prospect in this bunch is Ogletree.
On the flip side, we have a lot of defensive back prospects. It’s better to invest in all the young defensive backs.

I wouldnt give up Hurd for a 4th.
The guy is a good special teams player and he can cover any WR position. I would much rather see if someone bites and takes Roy for a 2nd or a 3rd.
Playing Miles, Crayton, Bryant, Hurd and Ogletree doesnt sound bad at all to me.
That isn't a clear cut indication he is getting cut.

looks pretty clear to me....
They know they aren’t getting much for him, but something is better than nothing if he is cut. I think they know they can’t swing 6 WRs….
Might as well...he might up in street clothes more than being active this year..
or just holding the clip board most games….
for the record I would keep Hurd over Crayton...
I think Hurd has more speed, younger with just as good hands. I would try to trade Crayton is anything….
Seriously?
Romo trusts Crayton almost as much as he does Witten. If one guy is going, it’s Hurd. No question.
He has had 4 years to unseat Crayton and hasnt come close. Austin took off.
Ogletree has passed him and the fact that Holley is even mentioned in the same breath doesnt bode well for him.

Yeah and what has Burnett done in San Diego besides being injured....
Burnett sucked as a nickel LB and you know it. Our pass coverage on TE’s improved when Carpenter manned that position. If u remember our LB’s couldn’t cover the TE’s worth a lick….Carpenter may not have been starting material, but he did a good job as the nickel LB and excelled on ST’s…can’t say that for Burnett…Let’s just hope Williams can do half as good as Carpenter at the nickel or TE’s will kill us again…
Oh jeeeeeeez
carpenter was not covering the TE’s man. Sensi helped out with that.
He didn’t do good at ANYTHING…. ANYYYYYYYTHING. He is garbage. GARBAGE.

1st time i ever heard anyone say Carpenter was better then Burnett at anything…i thought Burnett was decent in coverage from every game i watched & i never heard 1 report about Burnett not being able to cover or how great Carpenter was.
Fact: they was pretty worried about replacing Burnett w/ Carpenter & from everything i saw they had every reason…
also Burnett might’ve been hurt some but he didn’t miss but a couple games while w/ Dallas, if i rem correct.
Fact: we drafted S.Lee in the 2nd rd for our subpackages & J.Williams is just a project buried on our ILB depth chart, like Carpenter is on the Rams

Hurd
So the Cowboys aren’t shopping him, but others are asking about him? Is that what I am understanding?
Wouldn’t anything they got for him pick wise be worth it? Basically the #5/#6 WR is fairly useless to us other than a ST player (outside of preseason – showing us our 2nd/3rd string QBs).
Trade on the other hand — only really interested in OLine? QBs/TEs/Safety?
if other teams are asking,
about hurd then surely we get better value for him?.

T.Ginn Jr is worthless as a WR
he might be ok as a return man but the guy just can’t catch passes.
i think their should be a few teams intrested in Hurd but its not going to be anything outstanding. if were just getting a 7th pick them maybe Jerry can find someone to set a pick to named in the future from his production so that we could possibly get a 5th if he produces.
Move Over Sweetness, Make A Place For Emmitt!
Cross off the Vikings
They just traded a CB to the dolphins for a WR.
Just one of many trades.....
that should happen. Crayton, Spears, one of the older starters on the oline (this requires a serious replacement in the trading).
They are long DBs and LBs also.
Two better, younger/midrange olinemen are important. A better qb backup shouldn’t be ruled out. TE/FB seems unsettled with Phillips on IR but they may like their current prospects.
3-5 moved in trades, 2 back and hopefully a better draft position next year.
Who is going to trade you anything for all of these guys?

Do you realize...
About 837 players are facing cuts? Sure some will go to PS but even then you have at the least 589 unprotected player to be unemployed. Where are the Cowboys on the waiver list?
Of course they should trade, it’s as important as the after draft UDFA after the regular draft. There are contract extension disputes, expiring rookie contracts, position overlaps etc.
Most of the players mentioned are very ordinary except in Cowboyland. That’s how they get overrated and disappointment factor is always high. They have “probowlers” who are not, like at guard and center. Because of the contracts they tend to overhold players rather than cut losses. Roy Williams is a perfect example of that, given the bonus that will fly on hope. Same for Barber, Newman to a lesser degree.
Watch what happens to the Jets big signings (including Revis who will sign soon), DECLINE-A-STAN. It happens everywhere.
What the cowboys have done with most of the LB’s is the right policy. Keep drafting and replacing. They did part of the right thing with the oline and younger people but they are two years behind. It leaves them with two extra fat guys past peak.
Keep Hudgins.....
he isn’t going to clear waivers.
There are 31 other teams....
go look at the trading activity so far. Teams are filling holes all the time.
You sound like your part of the current front office, they need to get off their hands and make some trades.

as with all roster moves. The cowboys are excess 5 players and short 3 by my count. That’s a tradable 5 in my mind.
Keep the younger players like hudgins, holly, mccann, dixon and sicko. Make the space with trades. bigger trade in the oline shouldn’t ruled out but likely it is due to cowboy culture.

Next time I'm bored...
I’m going to compile a list of all of our players this guy has suggested trading away from our playoff caliber team from last season. It seems like every other thread there’s a different list.
To read some of his posts, you’d think we were the Rams or Lions that need major turnover in personnel.
Did this team need a few tweaks and upgrades? Definitely.
Does it need to try and trade away 5+ players and make wholesale changes? Definitely NOT!
Rabid and luvin' it
Guys I would...
trade for sure. These are progress stoppers;
Crayton, Hurd, Spears.
Excess choices if there is a market for fair exchange, likely for oline developing but not rookies which we have;
Curtis Johnson, Octavian, L.William. We are long one young DB in my count as well if you can live with TWillliams on the 53.
If the prices made sense and they can be covered on the current role; R Williams, Sensabaugh, LDavis or any of the other older linemen some of whom are hurt. At least one older linemen should go this year. It might take replacement trade on the inside. Way too much comfort in that area.
It’s only in Cowboyland fantasy that these guys are that important or you can’t imagine moves like this. Around the league guys of this speed don’t get to the probowl and lifetime/career status. The oline has declined for years, I’m not for big bonus trades either. More Doug Free types.
I thought Brewster might be playing at guard, I don’t see him starting right now at tackle. I’d rather work on the inside line. It would take good prices to move some of these guys, I’m not so sure with the CBA that exists.
Keep Holly, Hudgins, McCann and McCray and Sicko. Surely some above of the listed may have no market or a fair price may not exist. This is true everywhere as well. Changing the oline now to a degree and more picks next year is a logical goal.
Fantasyland?
You still aren’t understanding what people are saying.
It isn’t anything against trading these guys(although I think trading Sensabaugh would be mildly retarded.), its about your idea that you are going to get that much in return.
Spears was shopped, not a sniff. Hurd is being shopped. Not a sniff.
If you think all these players suck, why would other teams want to give up that much? Or do you want 8 7th rounders next year?

Quoting yourself doesn't require your own name attached to it. I'm going to assume if there isn't anyone else's name attached it's yours.
Wait...
you mean this isn’t the Fantasy Football thread?

Haha
Is what I’m saying making sense?

It is to me.
And probably to most others as well.
I see the same non-answer every time someone asks the question about who’s going to give up anything for these players or points out the fact you need two to tango. I gave up trying to talk sense about it after getting nothing after my long response to their proposal to go after the dregs of the San Francisco O-Line in another thread.
Now I’m just using them for comedy relief.

maybe we can trade our starting O-line for the Jets starting O-line?
Original Pet-Cats: Duane Thomas, Roger Staubach, Walt Garrison, Charlie Waters, Bob Lilly
yeah why not?
Why waste that line on Mark, should really have a mustache, Sanchez?

How about Roy Williams to San Diego?
You think they don’t need a reciever there? Not going to happen because of money.
SD doesn't need RW
They have Floyd and Nanuu as starters both of which are better than RW
In Romo we Trust
Is there any team that truly "needs" Roy Williams?

I don't know if Cincy has enough Dallas players.

Oklahoma in the 70s and Nebraska in the 80s come to mind.

Out of 100 oline cuts coming.....
there isn’t one promising guard the cowboys would like ot lock up rather than wait on waivers?
That doesn’t make sense.
