I am offended by continuously pretending that my silly comments are serious arguments that you should refute.

NFL arbitrator rules that Jimmy Graham of New Orleans Saints is a tight end - ESPN
This is very surprising. I though that he would have been ruled as a receiver for the purpose of the franchise tag.

Which we'll get back as compensatory so we basically traded a troubled player who's been literally worthless for a sixth. Good luck with him though. Maybe he won't get arrested anymore.
I bought the NFL rewind package the other day cause I couldn't take it. Been watching games from the last few seasons.

You arent getting a compensatory pick for losing McClain so that has nothing to do with the trade, he has to play for the picks to be swapped, so essentially he has to be at least decent in order for you to get our 6th for your 7th and if thats the case its a good trade for us.

I watched some arena football the other night... DESPERATE
One thing I thought was cool though was when the ref went under the hood for the instant replay you got to hear and see everything as he was doing it.

We won't get it back for him specifically but its essentially upgrading that pick to a sixth and we won't really lose anything in the long run since we get lots of compensatory picks every year. Its basically a free upgrade since we weren't going to use the player anyway.

Rolando McClain trade could cost Dallas Cowboys nothing - ESPN Dallas
5 games on the 53 or 3 on the 46 game day roster and the Cowboys and Ravens swap 7th round picks provided the Cowboys have a worse record than the Ravens.
The only way we swap our 6th for your 7th is if he plays half the snaps on defense this year.

Which always happens, we regularly max out our comp picks and regularly are in the top of the league in receiving them. We sent off three starters right off the top of my head and I'm probably forgetting someone so we are probably in line for three or four again. So while not specifically for Rolando, the pick will be replaced, which leaves a potential free sixth rounder for dealing this guy who we wouldn't even place in camp. Sure he might not play but why the hell would Jerry deal for him otherwise? Isn't it because you're thin at ILB especially with Lee out? So it either costs you nothing and costs us almost nothing to finally get rid of him, or it gives us a freebie for a guy we expected nothing from in the first place. Who knows he might play well in Dallas. My original point was more that this is how the ILB market is right now where trades are going down for a guy who's been in limbo for over a calendar year.
