Jerry Jones should get RG3 released because of a ridiculous trade proposal from the Dallas Cowboys

Jerry Jones should get RG3 released because of a ridiculous trade proposal from the Dallas Cowboys

Jerry Jones made plenty of headlines earlier this week when he appeared as a guest on 105.3 The Fan with Shan Shariff, RJ Choppy and Bobby Belt. When the three hosts questioned the Dallas Cowboys roster changes, Jones became agitated.

The Cowboys owner/president/GM decided he also had control of the radio show and threatened to replace all three men with someone who would ask sympathetic questions.

Jones then defended his plays (or lack thereof) this offseason and reminded us all how great he was 30 years ago.

It was later said the Cowboys wouldn’t look to add more talent at the trade deadline. That makes sense considering Jones has been telling the world how good a job he’s already done. Apparently Robert Griffin III didn’t get the message because he just made a trade proposal that could put him on the list of people Jones fired.

RGIII says the Cowboys should reach out to the New Orleans Saints and see if they’re willing to trade Alvin Kamara.

RGIII’s proposal is ridiculous and will never be implemented. Trading for a running back would essentially be an admission by Jones that all the people “with a microphone” were right when they said he made a mistake by leaning on Ezekiel Elliott, Rico Dowdle and Deuce Vaughn.

It would also contradict his claim that they couldn’t afford to pay a running back.

Jones insisted that paying Dak Prescott killed their chances of getting someone in free agency, which is why they wouldn’t pay $8 million per season for Derrick Henry.

Even leaving Jones and his ego aside, such a move makes little sense given Kamara’s recent decline. If Dallas wasn’t willing to pay for Henry, why would they pay Kamara — who will make a base salary of $10.2 million this year and $22.4 million in 2025? That’s a lot of cheddar for a guy who ran 3.9 yards per attempt in 2023.

He has the same per-attempt average this year, but his numbers are artificially inflated by his 115-yard, three-touchdown performance in Week 3 against Dallas. When he’s not playing defense, he’s average at best.

So, thanks for the idea, RGIII, but that will never work.
