Green Bay just improved by a tremendous amount, and Dallas got little in return.
Jerry just went full senile Al Davis. Never go full senile Al Davis.

I dunno. Not having to pay $40 plus million a year to a LB, frees up a lot of cap room to bring in 4 or 5 quality FAs. Then add in the two firsts, which provides flexibility as they could turn some of those into other multiple picks like Detroit did. And Clarke will help over the next few yrs as well.
You could argue losing Donald and lowering his cap hits, helped the Rams get better on defense and they didn't even get any picks to help that retool.
That would have been a lot of cheddar for us. He was worth the trade capital, but probably not worth that kind of cap hit.
According to Snead we've used like 5 draft picks to replace AD. I'd rather have one generational gamebreaking player like AD or Parsons then 4-5 medicore players.
For $40 mil., you're not getting 4 above average players, you're getting getting 4 or 5 players like Michael Hoecht or Samsun Ebukam.
Wow, my opinion is so different than most. Giving up 2 first rounders and then paying as the top non-QB in the league, I'm glad that the Rams didn't do this.
Micah is good, very good. IMO there are many defenders that I would want before him.
Yes the Packers are better this year, maybe all-in. I think that the Packers will regret this though.

After 10 whole minutes of intense thought I came to a conclusion. Matt LaFleur (GB coach) realized as long as the Rams have Verse they're gonna dominate the NFC for the next 5 years, or more. Therefore, his only chance to compete with us was to get the next best edge player in the NFC. Then again, I'm halfway into a 12 pack of tall boys waiting for the Nebraska game tonight.
Parsons is good. All pro caliber type player for the Packers. But 47 mil per year and giving up two firsts? I dunno. Depends on how the Cowboys parlay those picks. Could be a good thing for them long term.
I don't think they were going anywhere this year anyway. Their pick could be in the top 15 while the Packers pick could be somewhere between 20-25. For the next two years. If you're gonna rebuild getting extra first rounders is a good start.

Parsons is not a generational talent and he damn sure is not in AD’s class. He’s extremely good but, that was an over pay they will regret.
The follow up (IMO) is what do they do with those extra picks? That's what will help or hurt Dallas over the next two years.
I kinda feels like Jerra is saying hold my beer to the owners of the Browns and Saints. He might just want that Manning boy playing in Texas.

Parsons always disappears in big games, but that may change now that he is out of Dallas, as choking is deeply entrenched in that franchise.
The two 1st round picks from Green Bay are very likely late ones, but even still, I don't think it's as far off value wise as most people are saying. I'm not a Parsons fan. Definitely a talented player. But would I take him for two of our own 1sts knowing we would also have to pay him that big contract? No. I'd rather the cap space + two 1sts. So it is hard to knock the return Jerry got too much.

The Cowboys weren't going anywhere with Parsons. They save a boatload of money and can rebuild with multiple first-round draft picks. Had they made Parsons available before the draft, they would have gotten more in return.
The chance of equally Parsons impact with two first round picks is very low.
Jerry’s ego or old age impatience is a problem

Jerry Jones is an idiot. You don't trade away your best player and he should have been signed earlier than this. The Cowboy fanbase deserves better than Jerry Jones although I really don't care -lol. Rynie is probably crying right about now.
I just watched Jerry Jones' press conference; and found it embarrassing.
In my opinion, he was rambling. He was all-over-the-place, trying to justify what was a botched negotiation for an elite player that led to a trade that was far-below (also my opinion) market-value.
He came across as an old man, with a huge ego, who was unprepared and ill-equipped to make his case.
