NFL Analyst Believes Dallas Cowboys Should Trade for Russell Wilson
Follow Us
The future of Russell Wilson remains unclear. The Seahawks quarterback has expressed his frustrations with the franchise recently. This led the NFL world to speculate that he wanted to leave the franchise.
However, the Seahawks are showing no interest in letting Wilson leave the franchise. But if the right offer comes along, they may have no choice but to let him go.
Mike Tannenbaum of ESPN believes that the Dallas Cowboys should trade for the former Super Bowl winner. Tannenbaum noted that the Cowboys’ negotiation with the current star quarterback are not progressing the way they had hoped. And should the chance to bring in Wilson come, the Cowboys must jump at it.

“Yes, and then some. I’m going to offer three first-round picks, you can take DeMarcus Larence, (Ezekiel) Elliot. If I have Russell Wilson, I am an instant contender for the next three to five years.
“He’s only $17 million for the next three years. At some point, you’re going to have to redo the deal.”

Tannenbaum added that the Cowboys would get a big win in getting Russell Wilson. Furthermore, even inquiring about Wilson has a further bonus for them.
It allows the Cowboys to tell Dak that he is not the only party that is looking at other options. But it also lets Dak maximize his salary, even if it is away from Dallas.
“But it would be a huge win for Dallas. There’s another great intangible. ‘Hey Dak, you’re looking, we’re looking, so we’re all looking’. It’s actually putting the real fear in Dak’s mind that you’re going to get paid a tremendous amount of money which you’ve earned but it may not be here in Dallas.”
