Shefter reporting Broderick Jones traded to Cowboys

I still admit in last october that I was wrong on Fields.Some can't move on from that.Everyone can make bad prediction

 

By the way, I don't expect Jones to become an excellent player in Dallas, similar to Dotson with the Rams because of his neck injury, but I'm just saying that if Jones becomes a solid player, it's going to look bad on the former coaching staff who were raw players, in need of development, but who changed positions too often like mentionned in the tweet in post 76.The steelers did not gave Jones any favor

 

He flipped Broderick Jones plus a 2027 4th for Dallas’s 2027 3rd and 6th. Good move Khan.

 

Well it was for for Busterick Jones.

 

I like the term "coaching malpractice" I wonder if we can sue the bumm?

 

I read some comments by Cryboys fans. A majority are excited by getting Jones and think they snookered the Steelers. They must not have seen what we saw.
There was a Steelers coach, I don’t remember who, who said “You’ve got to get them good or get them out”. That holds true in this case. Maybe his neck injury heals and he gets strength back but I would not bet on it. And by that time his rookie contract will be up.
This trade may end up a nothing burger for the Steelers in the end, depending on who they get with the third rounder they got for him. It does free up a roster spot and some salary.

 

Loading up capital to land future Steeler QB.

 

Doesn’t matter when he was picked. It’s clear as day that an entire year out of weight room has significantly diminished Jones play strength. He’s got a long road back to building that strength up to pre injury levels. That’s just facts of his injury and recovery.

Turning that into a top 100 pick is a good thing.

The separate issue of Jones working or not working out as a first round pick is not great. Personally, I think if he doesn’t get hurt he likely would’ve continued his development. The injury just robbed him of strength and his technique is too messy to overcome that.

 

Actually, the Steelers got back their own 3rd round pick that they gave Dallas in the trade for Pickens.

 

Ding Dong the Bust is gone!

 

I normally like Ga players, they are coached right, maybe a change of scenery will help Broderick?

 

No,this is the 6th round pick....The steelers never gave up their 3rd round pick in the Pickens trade

 

The fact that none of the guys listed thrived anywhere in the NFL might undercut the point you and the original poster thinks it makes.

The players listed are scouting failures first. Burns, Davis, Mendenhall, Harris, Jones, and Kaleb Johnson are just guys that aren’t going anywhere in the NFL regardless of system.
