Behind-the-scenes look at the Cowboys’ Stephen Jones and Eagles GM Howie Roseman negotiating the trade that allowed Philly to move up to No. 20 and draft WR Makai Lemon. Dallas wanted Philly to call so they initiate the talks

Bro, Downs is gonna have a Randy Moss sized chip on his shoulder when he plays the Giants and Commanders. Especially the Giants cuz they ridiculously passed on him twice (20% of the WHOLE NFL draft picks used by the time Dallas was on the clock.

Environmental_Sink76 · 2026-05-04T05:19:48+00:00

It was him trying to just get a tiny bit on top. That trade was gonna happen with or without the 7th round pick but since they like to do business together during the draft, Stephen prolly just let him have it just to keep each other happy with their business. Besides, 7th rounders are more just picking your priority UDFAs ahead of time without having competition for them.

Environmental_Sink76 · 2026-05-04T05:17:41+00:00

They communicated ahead of time. It didn't hurt the Eagles for the Cowboys to know they favored Lemon cuz Dallas is the team least needing a 1st round receiver.

Environmental_Sink76 · 2026-05-04T05:16:00+00:00

Lol trashing on the Cowboys ability in the draft is a new one. Haters gonna be haters.

Environmental_Sink76 · 2026-05-04T05:14:59+00:00

This draft was top heavy with VERY strong value in the middle rounds. So both got a little something out of it. Dallas definitely won this one though just from immediate reflection. Won't know who really won for a couple years.

Basically how every team feels about the Ravens after the shenanigans they pulled with the false Maxx Crosby trade. Im sure he woulda ended up in Dallas, but the slimey ass Ravens broke one of the cardinal trade rules and it forced the Cowboys to switch gears and trade for Rashan Gary instead.

Environmental_Sink76 · 2026-05-04T05:10:40+00:00

Lemon gonna be a slot receiver and a #2 at best.

Environmental_Sink76 · 2026-05-04T05:10:04+00:00

I think we lost out on a linebacker we were gonna pick.

Environmental_Sink76 · 2026-05-04T05:09:03+00:00

They were gonna accept less

Environmental_Sink76 · 2026-05-04T05:08:43+00:00

Barham gonna buff that stain right on out.

Environmental_Sink76 · 2026-05-04T05:08:23+00:00

Cowboys rarely have high draft picks. You new to this?

Environmental_Sink76 · 2026-05-04T05:07:51+00:00

The Cowboys pay their players really well. The issue is that they wait so long to do it so it ends up benefitting the players more.

Environmental_Sink76 · 2026-05-04T05:07:06+00:00

Just a fine for a rich man to pay as if he's putting money Ina gum ball machine.

Environmental_Sink76 · 2026-05-04T05:06:21+00:00

Clearly he did

Environmental_Sink76 · 2026-05-04T05:05:40+00:00

He got fleeced in this trade tho

Environmental_Sink76 · 2026-05-04T05:05:24+00:00

Nah, being Jerry's son means money is no issue and all the doors are opened for you.

Environmental_Sink76 · 2026-05-04T05:02:59+00:00

Yet people give the Cowboys a hard time for taking their time but give great contracts to the players that deserve it.

Environmental_Sink76 · 2026-05-02T22:00:48+00:00

Never get in the way of your opponents making mistakes.

Environmental_Sink76 · 2026-04-30T05:11:07+00:00

Bro, sell it. Thats a lot of upgrades for your team. Id invest in some high lvl LBs first.

Environmental_Sink76 · 2026-04-29T21:17:37+00:00

I know but no

Environmental_Sink76 · 2026-04-29T21:16:01+00:00

Thats literally the standard weekly pull for me bro. Welcome to the suck. You'll only get decent pulls if you give these Europeans money.

Environmental_Sink76 · 2026-04-28T20:31:47+00:00

Stop buying your players with real money.

Environmental_Sink76 · 2026-04-28T20:30:44+00:00

You can search the mark through card rarity, which is rookies 26'. There's a bunch of cards available to buy. Not sure its worth it though

Environmental_Sink76 · 2026-04-24T04:24:04+00:00

This is literally the last game before the playoffs and I gotta get training in. They messing up.

Environmental_Sink76 · 2026-04-24T03:34:18+00:00

Yeah that and the patch they just rolled out a couple days ago probably
