Cowboys Trade ‘Rumor’: Trysten Hill for Patriots Weapon

FRISCO – Even after the NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys discover themselves skinny alongside the defensive position, particularly with regard to skilled gamers. However that does not imply the prevailing gamers aren’t expendable. Particularly if it means a chance to bolster the offense.

Welcome to the Dallas Cowboys Day by day Blitz from CowboysSI.com and DSP Media.

A commerce was not too long ago proposed by a nationwide media outlet that might ship Cowboys defensive deal with Trysten Hill to the New England Patriots in trade for wideout N’Keal Harry.

The proposed commerce – one thing shy of a “rumor” – signifies it could profit each groups.

It is no secret that the Cowboys most likely want so as to add a veteran broad receiver after the lack of Amari Cooper by way of commerce to the Cleveland Browns, mainly in trade for a can of beans.

Even after the addition of James Washington in free company and drafting Jalen Tolbert within the third spherical of this yr’s draft, Dallas may benefit from expertise at wideout. Particularly when you think about the present youth within the broad receiver room.

In trade for Harry, the Patriots would obtain Hill and can be addressing an space of want on the inside defensive position. 

Sounds good on paper, proper? Nevertheless it’s not. It is fairly ridiculous, really. 

The proposal says, “… a commerce between Dallas and New England may very well be the right manner so as to add to these areas whereas additionally shifting two gamers that want a change of tempo …”

Whereas it is fairly potential each gamers may benefit from a change of surroundings, it is extra possible that neither participant can be of any assist to their new group.

Hill has persistently been an underachiever whereas with the Cowboys and is at the moment listed as second on the depth chart at proper defensive deal with. And when given alternatives to start out he hasn’t precisely shined.

In 2021, Hill registered simply seven tackles, three assists, and one sack, incomes an total grade of 65.3 from Professional Soccer Focus. Why would Patriots coach Invoice Belichick have any curiosity in an underachieving participant like Hill?

Whereas we’re discussing underachieving, Harry hasn’t precisely been a manufacturing machine in New England. As he is coming into his fourth yr within the league, Harry has amassed simply 598 whole yards on simply 57 catches on 103 targets since 2019.

That does not sound just like the veteran management that the Cowboys are looking for at broad receiver. A lot much less, a participant that may assist Dallas attain the subsequent stage within the playoffs. PFF gave Harry a grade of simply 69.1 for his 2021 season which included 12 catches on 21 targets for simply 184 yards and no touchdowns.

The one potential manner both group would profit from this commerce is that if it is a last-ditch effort from each groups to get “one thing for nothing” as an alternative of simply outright releasing the gamers.

However even then it simply looks like buying and selling your downside for one more particular person’s downside.
