Should Cowboys Trade For Jonathan Taylor
Transcript
00:00 Alright Mike Fisher, do you feel like the Dallas Cowboys ought to go after Jonathan Taylor?
00:05 We did a show on this this morning on the Fish Report and we talked about this at CowboysSI.com.
00:11 I really respect Richie Witt has written a column on CowboysSI.com suggesting that there's some logic to it.
00:17 Sal Palo Antonio, a long time friend of mine, ESPN, says there's logic to it.
00:22 I think there's one logical reason to make the phone call and that's because Jonathan Taylor is a really good 24 year old football player.
00:29 But I have 10 reasons that it doesn't make sense and one of them is I have Tony Pollard and I'm paying him $10 million.
00:36 Let's just do it this way. Show me precedent in a salary cap age when any team would pay top dollar for two running backs.
00:44 Because that means you're paying top dollar for a backup. I made the parallel earlier.
00:49 Quarterback's more important than running back, right? Why don't you do that to a quarterback?
00:53 Why wouldn't you get two $40 million quarterbacks? It's ridiculous.
00:57 So the Jonathan Taylor idea, if he goes anywhere from Indianapolis, and I'm skeptical about that,
01:04 would be to a team that has a void there and a vacancy there.
01:08 Like the 49ers had with Christian McCaffrey last year. They gave up a big bundle of picks.
01:14 The idea being we are this guy away from the Super Bowl and maybe they were had the quarterback not got hurt.
01:19 And maybe they will be this year. The Cowboys already have that guy at running back
01:23 and therefore I don't see a marriage between JT and Big D.
