I know this is a bit of old news, but I thought that it was absolutely insane that Dallas got a 6th round pick for Everson Griffen. An depending on how he plays that draft pick could be a 5th rounder.
Dallas signed Everson Griffen on August 16, so it wasn't like that Detroit didn't have an opportunity to go pick him up if they wanted to. The guy was sitting in the free agency market for over 5 months. Moreover, it was reported that if Dallas couldn't find a trade suitor they would've just released him. Just like how they released Dontari Poe and Daryl Worley.
This was clearly a desperation move by Detroit FO and Matt Patricia to save their jobs. Jerry Jones must be laughing that he was able to steal a pick for a guy that he was just going to cut.
