Trade for Everson Griffin?

It came out today that Dallas is willing to trade DE Everson Griffin to a team who will pick up half of his $6M salary. With the salary restructures we've done, we could afford it. Griffin is still a productive pass rusher, and we desperately need more pass rush. What do you think?

He and Dunlap (who I liked coming out of college), if we can trade for them... WHY NOT!!??
WTH would we give up? we have no cash and limited on picks

We are under the cap due to restructured contracts
no money because this team never has cap room according to NT

And I wouldn't trade for him.

Yeah like $500k under the cap. Its like wanting something for $20 and you reach into your pocket and all you have is one crumpled dollar bill, a couple quarters, a Canadian nickel and a game token from Dave and Busters.

That's what I thought. Also figured we'd get hit with something for the next season if we trade for them.

Lol great analogy

Man one day you'll understand how the cap works...just because you trade a player does not mean all of his money transfers to the other team...especially someone that they just signed (ward)

Two old edge rushers and one (Dunlap) will cost like $6M toss in he's got another yr left on his deal.

Griffin makes some sense. Not the trade you talked about though.
