Hmmmmm..............very interesting. We've all said Ballard is a man with a plan. This could be a part of the plan.

For a team to successfully land Irving, three things would have to happen:

They’d need to make a sizable offer that Irving would be willing to accept.
They’d have to hope it’s high enough that the Cowboys would refuse to match it.
They’d have to surrender their second-round pick.

Read the link regarding David Irving and some of the posts on the Boys website......i am not sure why if we wanted to try to sign him that the compensatory pick we would have to give up would be our top 2nd round pick? Does it have to be your original slot in the draft? Or the highest you have remaining?

Cowboys fans seem enamoured with him, but can't say that he is a guy i know anything about. A former UDFA, who last year played in 8 games, starting them all and had 7 sacks. They are saying that a 2nd round pick is not enough compensation for the talent that he is, and there are some who were predicting that he could be in line for a contract in the region of $12-15m a year, which in my eyes is way too much for a guy who has yet to complete a full 16 game slate as a starter.

Who is he? Never heard of him, and now he's worth a ton of money and a 2nd round pick? And he only played in 8 games.

Why waste the second round pick? All Suh costs is money.

I've never heard of him either, and that seems like a lot to give up for a former UDFA who is still trying to prove himself.
But I read up on him. 3 seasons. Only played 8 games last year because of a suspension (PED) and then a concussion. But he had 7 sacks in 8 games, which projects to a nice total. And that's coming from the DT position, which is pretty crazy. And apparently he was leading the league in sacks for all DTs when we went down with the concussion.
He also had 6 pass deflections, which projects to double digit numbers there. That's a stat we've lagged in for awhile - did we even have 6 total pass deflections this past season, as a team?
So interesting prospect, but not sure he's worth a big contract and a 2 round pick.

All? He could also cost us team culture, if we even have one.

Or he could bring the nasty attitude the Colts defense has lacked for years.

Pagano would never go for that.
