00:00all right let's get rid of some of these guys we got enough players let's get rid of some here
00:04in
00:04dallas let's talk about it here in below the belt which is sponsored by window nation the
00:10dallas cowboys are getting ready we're what now uh today's april night so we're three weeks to
00:17the day three weeks today before we have the uh nfl draft or is it two weeks actually it's two
00:21because it's the 23rd isn't it yeah damn it's coming up fast this offseason has been moved by
00:26pretty quick uh over at the cowboys wire they were trying to take a look at what the most tradable
00:32cowboys contracts might be or the most tradable players heading into the nfl draft because
00:38you know they've already moved also to gizua for some capital maybe they look at some things and
00:42go all right we can change some resources around or reallocate some things here in order to try and
00:47get more draft capital in place to cover up some of these holes especially given what this draft looks
00:53like which is not very top heavy and sort of dense in the middle uh so at the cowboys wire
00:58they
00:59decided to look at the five players that could be tradable and we're gonna go through them here and
01:04i might have some suggestions for you other than these five uh first one luke schoonmaker
01:12which makes sense in the in the sense of you wouldn't want him here and isn't super expensive so
01:19it wouldn't like hurt your cap to do it yeah i cannot figure a couple things when we were in
01:26combat we were talking to lunda wells the tight end coach well and you remember he made some he said
01:31something about like man you and you really saw luke take a step forward last year and then shoddy a
01:36couple weeks ago said something to the effect of well he needs to like luke schoonmaker come in prepared
01:42to work and then he took a step up and i was talking to somebody the other day and they
01:45were like
01:46yeah i mean they they really feel like luke schoonmaker's progressing like what is this
01:51brainwashing y'all are trying to do right and as somebody said they're like well if he was a fourth
01:55round pick people probably wouldn't feel the way they do about him it's like yeah but that is the
02:00point isn't it like that he was a second round pick yeah like it's a fourth round pick i'd be
02:04like
02:05i still would probably like how is he still hanging around because he doesn't do anything yeah total miss
02:08but that's is that apparently they i don't know if that's just some sort of collective
02:15like new speak or you're trying to like just change the perspective on him or if they really
02:20they must really seem to think internally he did something different or something productive that
02:25they that they saw because i don't know that we saw any of that on the field no but yeah
02:30if you can
02:30find somebody who would be interested in that i just don't think you're eating anything other than
02:33somebody gonna flip you a conditional seventh right if he's on the roster first week you can keep
02:39the seven get anything for him nothing other than that uh next one this is what i think would be
02:43a really strong trade option for them in terms of just i don't believe that there's a spot for him
02:52now the way that there probably was when they re-signed him his profile has definitely declined
02:59but there are probably still teams out there that view him as a weapon and that's kavante turpin
03:03hmm i think turpin could probably not get you like anything super significant but somebody i would
03:08imagine would pay you like a sixth for him as like yeah he's a field position weapon we'll throw it
03:11to
03:11you i would give up i i would give up kavante turpin for a sixth round why because he's been
03:16such a
03:17mess for them last year he was a mess the one thing he does for i mean okay he was
03:22he was fantastic for
03:23them two years ago returning do you feel like he's has he he was a legit pro bowl return two
03:31years ago
03:31has his return has his returning though even lived up to what you think the rhetoric around it is
03:36people talk about him like he's dante hall around here and he not around here people don't around
03:41here nationally they do i cowboy fans they they they got sick of him last year yeah last year but
03:46i was
03:47saying before that people did talk about him like oh my gosh look at him he's a he's a threat
03:51to always
03:51break it yeah but he never does he never breaks i look if he were to i just want him
03:57to just
03:58hopefully he has put the receiver idea in the bag just forgotten about it and just go back to being
04:04a
04:04returner he just he never finishes catches his return game got much worse last year i i cannot
04:11get over it's it is just flat out negligence to have that fair catch thing happen to you twice
04:19in a season there are players who they go their whole careers without that happening that doesn't
04:23happen in high school very often yeah he had to happen two times in 10 days yeah the weird jump
04:28turn out of bounds that he did that one game yeah it was just what was that a fadeaway jumper
04:34yeah
04:34no you're gonna have to surprise me with what you offer for me to trade him i'm not doing it
04:38for a
04:38six four and a half million dollars is what he makes too so i mean it i'd rather move off
04:43of
04:44because they dallas was last in the nfl last year in starting field position as a guy who is supposed
04:49to be that's his weapon is their yeah but you can't discount the year before um he was fantastic the
04:56year before i think i can discount it if i'm if i need capital like like six round isn't capital
05:02it's it's it's nothing i got news i got news for you it's resources it's not a resource i would
05:08rather gamble on a sixth rounder than ever again throw him a football that's fine i'm fine with not
05:13throwing him a football but you're gonna have to give me some a little bit more for him not to
05:17return
05:17i would i would i would i would lean more towards him being the returner of two years ago versus
05:25last
05:25year what's weird to me about last year is how the the mental decision making just deteriorated you
05:33would have thought that comes earlier and then it improves and gets better and not goes backwards
05:39that that part is weird he is 29 uh i still assume he's gonna be really really fast but he
05:45is 29 i'm not married to him but not for a six what would the what would the number be
05:49like a fourth a fourth i'm key absolutely then fifth is where you're starting to debate it yeah
05:54okay okay fourth is like no brainer to me okay uh next one here but no one's gonna give a
06:00fourth
06:01malik hooker now this is one that i think if you were to go around the league and just teams
06:09were to
06:09look at all right who do they have on their roster who's got an easy to acquire contract who could
06:14come
06:15in here and potentially do something better than the guys we have on average hooker might be the
06:21answer as like the the most compatible with teams yeah the problem is i don't know in all this mixing
06:28and matching and what they're trying to do in the secondary even though they've added different pieces
06:31they acquired two safeties they might draft a third i still don't know that they very easily want to
06:36just move away from malik hooker because i think they do think he's steady he doesn't have a bunch of
06:41problems like out of all the problems we had last year he's one who didn't have just flat out ugly
06:46busts in the secondary right and can play solid here's the other issue with malik and i'm not
06:54relaying this from a team source but it was someone else who was telling me that um they they heard
07:02that
07:02malik wasn't going to play a lot longer so i don't know whether hooker's making that known i don't know
07:08where he's telling people i don't know whether i just disclose information but um if i was another
07:13not and it could be total bs but i was told from someone who apparently is like kind of close
07:18to the
07:18situation uh that this this like could be malik's last year or two so that would that would um make
07:26a trade more difficult not that he's going to disclose i wouldn't be surprised though yeah his body's
07:30been through a lot right yeah he's he's 30 he's had some yeah he's been through some injuries he is
07:36somebody who gosh what year was he drafted 17 so i mean this will be year 10 for him so
07:42i mean he's
07:42he's been around a little bit but i'd be fine for it throw throw me a round pick like a
07:46fourth i'd do
07:48it did you know he's uh i don't think you're getting a four did you know he's recently published a
07:51book
07:52no of poetry well why don't we get him in studio called when the smoke learns my name and it's
07:57a
07:57series of poems that he's written haiku's i don't know they're just they're they're poems we
08:02should get him on to promote it so at least you can pronounce poem he is uh the people who
08:06say
08:06poem poem poem poem poem poem poem i do have yeah i do have a lot of respect for malik
08:12hooker
08:13somebody in that locker room who i think has has done a really good job being a pro through some
08:18times that have not been easy to be a pro uh next up on this list and i think this
08:23is a sneaky one but
08:24this one might be your best chance to find somebody who's a little enticed by the mystery
08:32the mystery about him jayden blue and this is from cowboys wire these are the five candidates
08:39five potential candidates heading into the draft jayden blue are you willing to say ah you know
08:44what i saw him play well at the end of the season he had some maturity issues but uh there's
08:48no other
08:48reason why i'd get rid of him or would you say yeah if i can get that exact pick back
08:52if i can get a
08:52fifth rounder back for him i'll take it uh well this answer has to come from within the coaching
09:00offices if i'm jerry and steven and we're having this conversation i asked schottenheimer and the
09:06running backs coach is how much more mature is he how much more of a pro is he and if
09:13they say
09:13he's on the right path we feel good about it i'm not trading him for a fifth and i may
09:18not i
09:18wouldn't trade him for a fourth either uh if they give those if they gave those answers
09:24if they're like yeah still not there then i would consider getting the the pick back and then i would
09:31do it for a i would want a fourth um but i'm i'm have you heard anything about it whether
09:37it's going
09:37in the right direction he he got a little better as the season went along it sounded like but not
09:43enough clearly to pass even malik davis yeah so if if they head into this year and they go javante
09:47and malik are still ahead of him then you're talking about a third running back that's not going to play
09:51again for another year i might try to get a fifth i'm probably saying no a fourth i'm probably saying
09:55yes if it's not enough professional improvement uh and then the fifth name on this list
10:02kaylin carson cornerback seatbelt former fifth round pick uh also amateur rapper uh he's been
10:11he had inconsistency in 2024 he's dealt with some injury stuff and they're clearly full at
10:15cornerback fine makes sense of the name i've got a different name though that i want to throw in
10:20here yeah you're not you may not get a seventh for kaylin carson savon revel i would call teams today
10:26and try to trade revel why because i know what you're getting i'm not attacking you i'm just putting
10:32this out there this is why players don't want to gut it out sure this is why players don't want
10:38to
10:38lay it on the line because now uh we're sitting here and saying uh i don't have and i'm speaking
10:45for myself i don't have that great of confidence in savon revel well how compromised was he and he
10:50still went out versus just shutting it down so that and that wasn't good i give him respect for
10:55going out there to try and get it out yeah but it's impact i was not i was not a
10:59huge fan of his
10:59coming out yeah but what great you didn't have him as a fourth or fifth no i had him in
11:03like the
11:04second that's a damn good player right but he is a press man corner and they are going to ask
11:10him to
11:10do things in this scheme that i don't know that he can do because when i watched him on tape
11:14at
11:15eastern carolina and and seen what he did last year i don't know that he's going to be able to
11:19bait like run through all the different concepts that christian parker wants if that's the case i'm
11:24calling teams i'm like i've already got durant i've got bland i've got a corner that i'm probably
11:29going to draft i've got you know thompson that's going to play inside some at that point i'm just
11:33gonna like all right i i don't know that this is a fit again it comes down to scheme fit
11:37questions of
11:38can i get capital back if this guy's not going to be the right sort of fit that i need
11:42so
11:43revel is the one that i think i would call that i also think revel is the one you could
11:46probably
11:46convince a team to give you something decent for him it's still early enough would you do it for a
11:51fifth or would it have to be a fourth fourth i'd want a fourth i wouldn't want to lose more
11:57than
11:57around value on what i picked him yeah he got picked in the third i'm leaning towards no
12:03like and christian parker answers this for me christian parker did talk him up when his press
12:08conference said he liked him yeah so no and it's not because of the talent i have in the room
12:11it'd
12:12have to be because of injury and man it's kind of unfair to be like you're not going to work
12:17in
12:17this scheme without like seeing him go out there i mean that's yeah just because the guy has it
12:21doesn't mean he can't get it to osa well we have i feel much better about d tackle than i
12:28do corner
12:28no i know but i say they didn't give osa a chance to even show up and then osa thought
12:32he was a fit
12:32osa thought he could have played it below the
12:35you
12:35you
