Sometimes, it’s unimaginable that elite players at premium positions will eventually get traded by their original teams. Sometimes, though, it’s easy to see why the conversation starts. Over the last two weeks, both Micah Parsons and Myles Garrett ended up in situations where the rumors were inevitable.
Stephen Jones, Dallas Cowboys’ COO, executive vice president, and director of player personnel, reflected about how tough it might be to build a solid roster when there are too many players getting top money.
“I think that’s a balancing act that you always got to look at,” Jones said. “Especially when your good, good players get hurt and are not on the field. It totally magnifies the issue if you lose guys like Dak, and Diggs misses games, Zack Martin misses games, and it’s going to magnify something like that. You’re going to say ‘God, are we smart having this much money tied in to the top five to 10 players?'”
Meanwhile, Garrett said he would like to stay in Cleveland, but not for a rebuilding process.
“I want to stay loyal to a team that showed loyalty to me and faith in me by drafting me. But we have to do, at the end of the day, what’s best for us,” Garrett stressed. “So, if we have that alignment where this is something that is still possible in the near future — winning, going deep in the playoffs, putting a great defense out there. I think that would really keep my mind at rest and keep me settled.”
