Caller had a great point earlier (Talking Cowboys) that I hadn't thought about regarding Earl Thomas. This assumes Seattle is only asking for a 2nd round pick...
The Cowboys have spent so many picks in the 2nd round just hoping it works out... Gregory, Jaylon, Sean Lee, Bruce Carter, etc. Even if Jaylon is the man this year, we lost 2 full seasons with that 2nd rounder. Gregory is still a huge ? and Carter is currently out of football.
Why the hell are they, all of a sudden, so cautious with their 2nd rounder? He also made a good point that we gave away our 2nd & 1st to move up for Claiborne a few years ago too. But yet we won't do it for a guy that is proven to be elite.
You answered your own question.
