Dallas Cowboys: It’s time for Earl Thomas

The Dallas Cowboys might lose All Pro center Travis Frederick for the season, and they are dangerously thin at safety. It’s time for this team to make a trade for Earl Thomas.

Since being diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome, the Dallas Cowboys are in jeopardy of losing All Pro center Travis Frederick for at least several weeks and possibly even the entire season. On top of that, All Pro guard Zach Martin is dealing with a hyperextended knee.

The safety position isn’t much better. Injuries and depth are a concern, to say the least. It’s time the Dallas Cowboys did something. Something to improve the roster to make up for these concerns.

It’s time for this team to make a trade for Earl Thomas. Period. End of discussion. There’s nothing else to talk about.

With the Cowboys facing so many issues on both sides of the ball, this team needs to make a trade for Thomas to upgrade its defense and offset the loss of Frederick.

Listen, the Cowboys foundation is its offensive line, and right now it’s dealing with the loss of the best center in the NFL and Martin’s lingering knee injury.

Now the safety position is feeling the loss of Xavier Woods with a hamstring injury (not expected to play week one); Kavon Frazier has a separated shoulder, and Jeff Heath is dealing an ankle injury.

Ditto the rest of the backups on the safety depth chart. They can’t do anything of importance to help. That’s why a trade for Thomas is imminent.

There’s no need to for Dallas to waiver on the decision, they don’t need to worry about how much to pay Thomas, and all of the other nonsense. Dallas needs to give up a second rounder or more to make it happen ASAP.

Even with DeMarcus Lawrence, Randy Gregory and Taco Charlton—Dallas needs a player of Thomas’caliber on their defense to make it dominant. If Dallas’ offensive line isn’t as dominant, at least it can point to its defense as another cornerstone of the team.
