A bombshell trade proposal.
Getty Cowboys LB Jaylon Smith Because the Dallas Cowboys are “loaded” at linebacker, and in light of Jaylon Smith’s demotion, Bleacher Report believes a trade is best for both parties. Specifically, BR’s Alex Kay proposed the Cowboys send Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders for defensive end Clelin Ferell in what would qualify as a “ blockbuster deal ” amid the infancy of the 2021 NFL season. “Smith accounts for $9.8 million against the cap for the 2021 season, too much for a player who logged 25 percent of the defensive snaps in Week 1,” Kay wrote. “Unless the coaching staff plans to get him more involved, it would be more beneficial and financially sensible to trade him. “The Raiders would be an ideal landing spot. Vegas started the season with a victory but gave up 27 points to the Ravens. More concerningly, it allowed 189 rushing yards to a depleted Baltimore backfield. “Although Smith only played 25 percent of the snaps against the Buccaneers, he recorded four tackles and earned a 68.4 PFF grade.” The latest Dallas Cowboys news straight to your inbox!
