Tuesday’s trade deadline was not short on excitement as several teams made moves to help improve their ball club. Some of these moves involved acquiring draft picks to help build for the future and some of these moves were made to make an immediate impact. Over in the AFC Youth Jourdan Lewis Jersey , the division-leading Houston Texans added former first-round pick Demaryius Thomas to an already strong receiving group that consisted of two other first-round picks, DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller. There were also several key trades over in the NFC, in particular, involving teams in the NFC East. The three teams in the hunt for the division - Washington, Philadelphia, and Dallas all made moves to acquire a former Pro Bowler, whereas the New York Giants are going nowhere and traded one away. Each team was able to snag a good player, but they all came with their own cost. Which team made out the best with their respective trade?Dallas CowboysPlayer: Amari Cooper (first round Jourdan Lewis Jersey Stitched , 2015)Cost: 2019 first-round pickThe Cowboys went big by trading for the fourth-overall pick of the 2015 NFL draft, Amari Cooper. Dallas has been searching for answers to their abysmal offensive performance this season as the team ranks 26th in the league in points scored.Bringing in Cooper should help spread out the defense. It will open things up for other receivers as well as take some of the pressure off of Ezekiel Elliott. And while the moves the Eagles and Redskins made help their teams this season, the addition of Cooper is a long-term investment.The Cowboys paid a hefty price, but good things come with a cost. Let’s just hope we see early returns on this big investment.Philadelphia EaglesPlayer: Golden Tate (second-round, 2010)Cost: 2019 third-round draft pickThe Eagles were also making a push for Amari Cooper, but didn’t pony up enough draft capital to close the deal. Instead, they went after nine-year veteran Golden Tate to help spark their offense. After leading the league in scoring last season, the Eagles find themselves ranked 21st in points scored this year. The addition of Tate is going to give Carson Wentz a great weapon to help get them grooving again.It’s painful to say Youth Xavier Woods Jersey , but Tate is quietly one of the most productive receivers in the league. He’s had 90+ catches in all four of his seasons in Detroit and is on his way to another one this year. He’s eclipsed 1,000 yards receiving in three of the last four seasons. He might be on the north side of 30 now, but he’s not showing any signs of slowing down.The downside to this deal for the Eagles is that Tate looks like a one-year rental. He’s bringing in an average salary of $6.2 million and will likely demand something near that again when he hits free agency after the season. The Eagles are projected to be $11 million over the cap and will have to sell off some overpriced contracts again this upcoming offseason, but they’ll cross that bridge when they come to it. Right now, it’s about trying to keep their hopes of a repeat alive. It would be surprising if Tate was in Philadelphia in 2019, but the Eagles did give up a third-round pick for him, which isn’t cheap so it’s too early to presume how they’ll proceed with him in the future. This looks like an all-in move that would sting a little if Philadelphia is not able to make a good run this year or retain him down the road.Washington RedskinsPlayer: Ha Ha Clinton Dix (first round, 2014)Cost: 2019 fourth-round pickThis move may not seem as flashy as the teams getting a good receiver Xavier Woods Jersey Stitched , but the Redskins added a quality defensive back to an already good defense. The Redskins defense is ranked top five in points allowed and now they get 2016 Pro Bowler Clinton Dix.With Josh Norman and Quinton Dunbar holding things down at corner, the addition of Clinton Dix gives them two of the best safeties in the league.While the cost is only a fourth-round pick, Clinton Dix is only under contract through this season. Washington is projected to have $17 million in cap space so they can make room to extend him if that’s the direction they want to go, but for the remainder of the season they can feel good about shoring up a strong safety position group. And for a team that has to face Odell Beckham Jr. and now Amari Cooper and Golden Tate, the added depth in the secondary will come in handy.New York GiantsThe Giants didn’t add any Pro Bowlers. In fact, they gave up one. They traded away defensive tackle Damon Harrison (2016 Pro Bowl) to the Detroit Lions for a 2019 fifth-round pick. That seems like a bargain for the type of player Harrison is, but Detroit will now take on his contract through the 2020 season. The Giants also traded former first-round pick Eli Apple for a couple day three picks (4th in 2019 and 7th in 2020) from the New Orleans Saints.So, to recap....It’s been an eventful week. It’s getting serious between the Cowboys and Dak Prescott."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Dallas Cowboys NewsDallas Cowboys GeneralCowboys negotiations with Dak Prescott take a big step forwardNew Youth Joe Looney Jersey ,311commentsIt’s getting serious between the Cowboys and Dak Prescott.CDTShareTweetShareShareCowboys negotiations with Dak Prescott take a big step forwardRobert Hanashiro-USA TODAY SportsThe old saying goes - it takes two to tango. Well, the Cowboys and Dak Prescott are officially tangoing. It was a few few weeks ago we learned that the Cowboys had presented an initial offer to Dak Prescott’s camp to open their negotiations on a new deal. In general, it’s thought that the deal will average at least $30 million a year, although Bill Barnwell predicted $32 million a year. To get to some kind of agreement, the Prescott camp would need to enter the fray. According to Prescott, they have.Prescott is playing it cool and staying out of the mix, at least publicly. That’s exactly as he should do. At this point of the negotiations there is nothing to gain from commenting one way or the other. He surely believes he is worthy of a large payday, and there’s no shortage of observers who believe he is worthy Joe Looney Jersey Stitched , although Prescott surely has his detractors, too. The Cowboys have already made it clear they will be signing Prescott to a new deal, if they didn’t they would have to start all over again either with a draft pick or a free agent, unless they’ve miraculously concluded Mike White or Cooper Rush are the real deal. That’s not something the team would really want to do with such a talented roster in place. So they are ride or die with Prescott, now they just need to work his contract into the mix with the other star players they need to sign. One thing Prescott seems to have made clear is that he’s not about a discount contract; he’s been working under that for three years. Sounds like he wants what the market numbers say.Now that the Prescott camp has responded to the Cowboys initial proposal, the game is truly afoot. It’s not a matter of if, just when.
