]]> The off-season officially started Sunday night, after  QB Eli Manning and the Giants knocked off  QB Tom Brady and the Patriots. Myself and fellow writers for the Landry Hat have spent countless hours at the library, pulling all-nighters researching to provide the latest, up to the minute, and in depth content on the web. So to relax our minds for a little bit, lets read about something different than the  Dallas Cowboys needs, who is going to be released/resigned/FA signed/drafted… I bring you something fresh to wrap your brain matter around… the Trade of the Century.

Jan 2, 2012; Glendale, AZ, USA; Stanford Cardinal quarterback Andrew Luck (12) signals to his team during the first quarter against the Oklahoma State Cowboys in the 2012 Fiesta Bowl at University of Phoenix Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Matt Kartozian-US PRESSWIRE

Peyton Manning, QB of the Indianapolis Colts, has just recently been cleared medically by 2 separate Dr.’s to play after k has healed, and Peyton could be back in uniform as soon as he is able to volley accurate footballs into hands of Reggie Wayne and Pierre Garcon.  Without him, his Colts were an abysmal 2-14; bad enough to ‘win’ the 1st overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft.  The prize, the Heisman Trophy Candidate from Stanford, Andrew Luck.

]]> Last week, I suggested we need to make a ‘Herschel Walker type trade’ to speed up our rebuild.  I got a lot of great responses, most suggest we trade Felix Jones or Miles Austin, or both.  These are OK ideas, but what can we get for them?

Felix has yet to prove he is more than just a change of pace back, and as Cj pointed out in his January 7 article:  ‘Evaluating Jerry Jones 2011 Cowboys: Who Should We Blame?’, once DeMarco Murray went down, Felix Jones’ running ability didn’t scare any defenses away from teeing off on Tony Romo.

As for Miles Austin, he never found a rhythm with his quarterback once he got back from the hamstring injury.  Put that lack of rhythm together with the emergence of Laurent Robinson and we see that maybe, just maybe, there is life for the Dallas Cowboys without Miles Austin.  Problem is the rest of the NFL can see that too, so what will they give up to get an above-average wide receiver that was so adequately replaced?  I’m not saying Miles isn’t a great receiver, or even that I would want to trade him, but you’ve got to admit that he lost some of his luster, and with it, trade value.
