Cowboys Open To Trading LB Anthony Spencer

The Dallas Cowboys raised eyebrows Monday when they used their franchise tag on linebacker Anthony Spencer for a second consecutive year.

For a team dealing with substantial salary-cap issues, it was a surprising move. Around The League colleague Gregg Rosenthal thought it was classic Cowboys ... and he didn't mean it as a compliment.

Now we're learning the Cowboys could have other plans for Spencer. Citing a team source, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday on "NFL Total Access" that Dallas is open to trading Spencer and his $10.6 million salary if a suitor presents itself.

There we go

 

First or no deal

No way they would get a 1st, so no deal I guess.

 

I like the way you think. But I don't think anyone would be willing to give up a first.

 

If Milliner were to be available at six, I'd have no huge problem with taking him there and giving up next year's first or second to get Spencer. This year's pass rushers may come with higher ceilings but also much higher risk than Spencer.

 

No faith in Mo or Carr? We have to go o-line no other way around it and a safety in the second would make me happy. Also can probably steal Mauti/Hodges in the 4th.

 

My post was from the Browns' perspective. With their LB situation, they'd be nuts not to be interested in Spencer if he's indeed available.

 

If fisher/joechel drop to 6 I would love to see it happen but honestly spencer for a first wont happen unless maybe it's a future first.
