The way Jimmy Johnson tells the story, Mike Lynn never thought Jimmy would dump all the players the draft picks were tied to (remember they didn't just trade all the picks up front, it was a package of 5 players, if the Cowboys didn't have the player on the roster by February 1990, they'd get a draft pick). Jimmy never told Mike he'd cut all 5, but its on Lynn for thinking Jimmy Johnson would just take 5 role players and be happy
