Haven't read through the thread, but seems like a pretty bad deal for Dallas. The Packers were already a pretty good team so those two 1sts are likely to be late in the round, then you get an aging DT whose production fell off a cliff last year that you're probably gonna cut after this season to avoid the ballooning cap hits in his contract. Doesn't really feel like they "got" him as much as the Packers got rid of him.

2 first round picks for a player you were unwilling to spend half your cap space on.

Seems a decent, if not ideal, deal.

Cowboys reported offered him a $200M+ contract.

5 year 202m deal with an apy of slightly above 40m, he wanted to be the highest paid non QB and the Dallas deal wouldn't accomplish that.

I'm just saying, it's not like they weren't willing to pay him an absolute poo ton. Trading him for less than we turned down from the Rams for Brian Burns seems like a kick in the teeth.

Scott Fitterer is one of the worst GM's in the history of the NFL. It's not even hyperbole, he should be in the Hall of Shame if there was such a thing - his goiter neck prominently displayed on his bust carved from hardened pig sh*t.

I mean our picks were supposed to be later in the round too.  Green Bay is questionable.

But the NBA did rig the draft for them though. I don’t feel bad for them at all

The NBA is infamous for that poo. There have been way too many draft lotteries play out way too conveniently for there not to be some smoke.

That trade package for Luka made zero sense on the surface for the Mavs but makes a lot more sense if there was a wink/nod backroom deal that the #1 overall pick was coming back there way with the most hyped prospect since Wemby on the board.
