[Rumor] Cowboys to #12?

The "other rumor" was They give us Miles Austin and swap positions in the 1st and 3rd...in wich case I will go streaking around my block if that happens. :up:

The rumor making the rounds about a week ago was Austin to Miami for a swap of 1st and 3rd round picks (Miami would drop back in both rounds but keep. On my draft chart that would be the equivalent of trading the 36th pick for Austin.

It would cost a big contract (bigger than #12 would get), but it would allow us to add a WR and a player like Hughes or Odrick at #27.

I would do that in a heart beat. I'd even drop back from 12 to 27 and give up the 3rd probably.

no way for crayton and barber

I wouldn't do it for Barber and Crayton. Barber's contract is way to much and Crayton is not much better than what we have. Their 2nd, 3rd would be a start.

Nope.

I would love a trade but I would want only their draft picks. 1st and 2nd and maybe another draft pick and I would bee thrilled

I would do the trade as well. I think Bryant will be the better WR, but Austin would be good enough and I think there will be some very good options at #27. I'm not sure I'd throw in the 3rd though.

BTW I'd say no to the Barber/Crayton deal.

I'd do it.

For Crayton and Barber= HELLLLLLLL NAHHHH

For Miles Austin and Swapped Picks=HELLLLL YEAH!:up:

I dont see the cowboys trading miles austin
agree with you no thanks on crayton and barber

I'd be pi$$ed if we did it for Crayton and Barber. That would be a terrible trade. Plus, Barber is due something like 8 million this year. It's not happening.

I'm pretty sure the whole swap of picks with Dallas and get Austin thing was just Dave Hyde throwing it out there as an idea after he heard about Dallas bringing Bryant in for a workout,

The most interesting rumor for Dolphins interests is that Dez Bryant will work out for the Cowboys, according to ESPN.com Joe W. tipped us off to this one.

Dez Bryant won't be there for the Cowboys at No. 27. He might not be there for the Dolphins at No. 12. But if he is, doesn't this workout support another trade between the Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and his former employee, Bill Parcells?

Swap of first- and third-round picks and the Dolphins get Miles Austin?

If we do trade down i'm pretty sure it'll be for more picks not players, which is also why I doubt it'll happen anyway.

The Austin trade would be phenomenal, kid is a playmaker. I got to watch him a lot this last season and almost every game he was making 1-2 plays where I just wondered how the hell he did that. No question would I pull the trigger on that, and then spend the late first on a defensive player or maaaaaaybe Gresham if he fell.

For Crayton and Barber? Hell no. Crayton is a good special teamer, and he can make plays when left open, but he is very much a supporting player.

Are you serious? You wouldn't do it for Miles Austin and swapping draft positions?

That source looks like a joke.

If all we get is there 1st, Barber and Crayton HELL NO!!!! that would be a horrible trade IMO we better either get this years first next years first and this years second or Miles Miles Austin and this years 4th along with swaping firsts

Miles Austin for swapping first round picks, and maybe we throw in our sixth rounder too. That would be a good deal, as we get a proven WR and can still get the best OLB left at #27.

I just don't see why Dallas would want to do this trade, unless they really want Dez Bryant or the best LT remaining in the draft at #12 to replace Adams?

What if they offered to swap first rounders, WR Roy Williams and their fourth rounder to trade up to #12? With no cap this year, it's the a chance for Dallas to get out of his contract.

Apparently, Jones is having cash flow issues since building that new stadium. The #12 pick will probably sign for $20 million to $30 million less than Austin. That's the only reason I won't discount the rumor entirely.

Not sure what the article was implying but it would have to take more than Barber and Crayton for us to move that pick. Something like those 2 and their 2nd rounder and a later pick maybe but just those two? I seriously doubt that would even get a seconds consideration.

I think one thing we can take from this is that now that Adams has been released, the Cowboys are unlikely to be in the Dez Bryant sweepstakes.

They've put themselves in a position where they pretty much have to find a left tackle in the draft. And whether they stay put or move up, I'd say that first rounder is almost guaranteed to be a Tackle.

They might just think this draft is deep in the tackle department and feel they can get a young guy on the 1st day that can step in, or they feel they have someone on the roster already. I wouldn't discount the Boys from being after Bryant or anyone really at this point. JJ isn't exactly a guy to play it conservative.

I don't know if the rumor is true or not, but I wouldn't make that trade.

I know the source referenced by this article's author.

That person told me to take it with a grain of salt. That said, this source had the Dolphins-Cowboys talking trade for Fasano two months before it went down.
