Oh the very first people to text me and also hit FB were my hater friends, even though they know I'm not vested in the Cowboys any more.  I tease one of them that he cares more about Dallas than I ever did. 

Yeah I have a friend like that. I always tell him he's a bigger Cowboys fan than I am. He texted me like 5 mins after the trade yesterday. I didn't see it for an hour because I was busy and just texted back the "Oh no! Anyway..." gif.

It's a horrible trade for numerous reasons.   Imagine the haul they could have gotten in March if they put it out they were going to trade him pre-draft.   THAT could have been something like the Herschel trade.  Instead, they traded him when they had a gun to their head.  Beyond idiotic.

Yeah, any spin on this besides Jerry Jones being a fucking idiot is laughable.

If you truly wanted to deal Micah, you do it before the Draft when teams have more resources and you can spend the picks pronto.  If you're trading away a future HoFer in his prime at one of the most important positions in football, why the fuck are you paying tippy-top dollar for Dak and CeeDee?  Are you rebuilding or are you trying to be competitive now?  Plus you've got a brand new coach and you've dumped this in his lap a week before the season starts.  I'm sure he's thrilled about that.

If I was anyone at the top of the Cowboy's org I'd be looking to have Jerry sent to the nursing home and getting power of attorney.  Non compos mentis.

The gut punches and the punchlines from this will continue for ages. Just wait until the next Cowboys star with the same agent is ready for a new deal. Jerry won't deal with him, it will go about the same. Shitty.

Micah seems to have sort of a child-like mentality. He got manipulated by Jerry thinking they were all in and agreeing to a handshake deal, being a Cowboy for life like he wanted. Then he got manipulated by his agent to stage this tantrum hold-in bullshit so he could put on the squeeze for a deal that sounds more impressive, but probably not that much different. Neither Jerry or Micah got what they really wanted. The team didn't get what they wanted, some false hope of relevance and thinking Jerry cares about them and will take care of them. Probably half of them are counting the days until they can walk for more money and a better situation. The other half are scrubs or has-beens just happy to get a check for having a star on their hat. Cowboys fans get fucked again, losing any hope of being less shitty for any reasonable period of time.

Heard Dan Patrick and Colin's take.  Colin liked the trade.  Said they know they're not gonna win even with Micah.  Next year's draft is stronger. 

 

JMO.  Jerry wants one last run with a big name QB. He's going to move Dak and their #1 (likely top 7) to get into the Allar/Arch sweepstakes
