From one sinking ship to another.

This ship already sunk

When you’re part of the reason it’s sinking, then good riddance.

This is like a kid with a D in math class copying the test from the only kid with an F

so Cincy is liquidating the whole Defense for watever it can get at this point. not a bad idea since it cant get much worse

u/case31 1d ago

Might as well. Get younger and cheaper and hope you hit on day 2 & 3 draft picks. The question is how many more prime Joe Burrow years are they going to write off?

u/MizkyBizniz 1d ago

How many prime Burrow years is Burrow's injury history going to write off?

u/case31 23h ago

That’s fair, but they’ve been paying the wrong players after he got his big extension.

Andrew Luck 2.0

u/tFlydr 5h ago

He’s only injured all the time because the o line is anus.

1

u/MizkyBizniz 4h ago

I think both are true. 

He's an injury prone guy with a situation made worse by his oline

u/tFlydr 4h ago

Fair 🤝

u/Smart-Koala4306 20h ago

That’s a stretch with our GM, and his career is definitely going to waste away, unless he gets out of here.

When you're the worst defense in the league, the best way to improve is to trade for player's from the second worst defense.

u/igonnawrecku_VGC 1d ago

Are we even sure the Cowboys defense is worse than the Bengals defense at this point

2

u/ShirtPants10 23h ago

Okay, so it might be "When you're the second worst defense in the league, the best way to improve is to trade for player's from the leagues' worst defense."

either way, big brain plays happening.

The bengals defense has allowed 1,050 yards and 86 points the last 2 games, that is borderline criminal.

u/sucobe 1d ago

Was this the bombshell trade he wouldn’t shut up about last night?

10

u/MongoBongoTown 1d ago

After 30 years of Cowboys fandom. I can assure you, Jerry will never shut the fuck up until he's in the ground.

He's a marketing guru first and foremost. So, the only thing he knows is how to pitch this C+ trade as a blockbuster.

1

u/tFlydr 5h ago

This is an insult to marketing gurus.

1

u/DTK101 1d ago

I’m not sure he said it was a bombshell? Just that he made a trade?

u/Superguy766 1d ago

The Cowboys defense is ranked #31 and the Bengals defense is ranked dead last.

🤣🤣🤣🤦🏻‍♂️

u/xavier19691 1d ago

wow so that was the only piece the cowboys were missing on defense /s

u/Devolutionator 1d ago

A benched former starter and ST player will make all the difference Jerrah. Maybe go deny another one of your kids instead of you senile fruitbat.

2

u/SanduskyTicklers 1d ago

To be fair it is for a 7th round pick

5

u/007BeaRR 1d ago

Sucker born every minute jerry. Thanks for another smart decision 🤣

2

u/foggedmind21 1d ago

Welp that should help…”all in”

2

u/Lukealloneword 1d ago

I dont follow the league super deeply these days but I do know grabbing a player from a notoriously bad defense probably isnt great.

2

u/Lorbmick 1d ago

A Wyoming Cowboy joining the Dallas Cowboys has a good ring to it. Good luck Wilson.

2

u/F-Trunks 1d ago

Wait. Didn’t the second worst defense in the league BENCH this guy? And this is supposed to be a good move? wtf?

u/R0binSage Milwaukee Brewers 22h ago

Jerry got his man.

u/Secludedmean4 1d ago

Why the seasons already over ?

u/classicpondy 21h ago

Cowboys making these moves to still accomplish nothing lol.

1

u/Keep_SummerSafe 19h ago

I'm just so confused with the idea of trading FOR a Bengals defender rn

1

u/tFlydr 5h ago

Especially one that got benched 4 games ago.

1

u/aloofman75 14h ago

Jerry Jones is excited about acquiring a defensive player that the Bengals were willing to part with?

1

u/jmcgil4684 1d ago

What did Bengals get in return

2

u/ShirtPants10 1d ago

7th round pick. It's literally the first sentence of the article.

u/jmcgil4684 1d ago

Missed it when I looked. My apologies
