The Dean Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Swap of "late round picks" doesn't necessarily mean 7th round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 As an aside, we kind of screwed Cassel over (unless of course he ends up starting in Dallas). Cassel agreed to re-sign as a back up because his wife is pregnant (and close to delivering) and they already had become settled in the Buffalo area. For his sake, I hope he and his family see this as an opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 @RQUINN619: Not one, but 2 teams gave up assets for Matt Cassel in a 6 month span. What a time to be alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Swap of "late round picks" doesn't necessarily mean 7th round. Swap of late round picks would imply something higher for cassel and a lower round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 That's not what that tweet said... More likely we are getting a 5-6 and sending over a 7 The tweet actually said nothing. No idea what picks are involved at this point. But if you think we're getting a 5th for meh, you're dreaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackInDaDay Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 So in the past 14 days we have cut cassel, signed him, started him, and traded him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) Swap of "late round picks" doesn't necessarily mean 7th round. Why would we swap if we are planning on finishing ahead of the Cowboys in the standings (unless they are giving us a higher round pick for a lower round pick - as opposed to a 7th for a 7th). Hmmm.

Prickly Pete Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 It means EJ is back to being #2! He has been. Cassel was the guy that would finish a game if Tyrod was injured, EJ was the guy that would start the next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you think we're getting a 5th for meh, you're dreaming. Swapping late round picks would imply a higher round for lower round typically, not a flat 7 like you replied with. That may be what it ends up but it's not what that tweet portrayed was my only point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 @ESPNStatsInfo: Cowboys acquire Matt Cassel. His 34.6 Total QBR since '12 is 4th-lowest (min. 500 action plays). Lowest QBR since '12...Brandon Weeden, 26.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Didn't we give up a 5th and 7th for Cassel and a 6th? Yeah, we did. But I can't imagine we would get similar value for an in-season trade. If DW can squeeze a 6th for Meh and a 7th, I would be thrilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
