After Cowboys traded Micah Parsons to the Packers last year, Jerry Jones compared the move to Herschel Walker trade in 1989 Today, Jerry did it again. You could say those picks got us key players, but the main thing is that Herschel Walker trade did, it caused me to be more aggressive and caused us, if you will, take more risk because we had more picks.
Jerry and Sting, y'all, man.
**Chad Johnson** (0:29)
We're gonna stir it up every time, man.
**Shannon Sharpe** (0:31)
He what, Ocho?
**Joe Johnson** (0:32)
He was, he is.
**Shannon Sharpe** (0:33)
Micah sacrifice one of the best defensive players in 2026 for a first round pick in the 2027, a second, a first round pick. And did you hear the tackle, Katie? Clark, for Walker, he had 1,000-yard performance in three NFL seasons. The Cowboys have worked with three First. round picks, three second round picks, a third round pick, and a sixth round pick. How is that comparable?
Now, if they had traded, if that was Barry Sanders, okay, sure.
Herschel Walker was not one of the best offensive players. He was the best player Dallas had, but he was not one of the best players in the league. Cause you do realize like, Jerry was in the league at that time, right? Joe Montana was in the league. Bruce Smith was in the league. Reggie White was in the league. All those guys were in the league.
**Chad Johnson** (1:24)
Hey, what I mean? I mean, at the running back position, wasn't Herschel Walker that boy?
**Shannon Sharpe** (1:28)
Barry was that, Christian Okoye was that boy. Barry Sanders was that boy. Thurman Thomas was that boy.
He had 1000 yard season, Ocho. Like I said, he was the best. He was the only thing the Cowboys could trade. Do you realize what the Cowboys got for Herschel? Three first-round picks, three second-round picks, a third-round pick, and a six-round pick.
**Chad Johnson** (1:53)
Yeah.
Who would get that right now in today's game? Those exact numbers.
**Shannon Sharpe** (2:02)
Prior to the injury, probably been the Holmes.
**Chad Johnson** (2:07)
He's the only one too. Three first-round picks?
**Shannon Sharpe** (2:17)
Game different. Three. Game ain't the same. Y'all better go back. Man, look here. There was some, like I said, he was the best player Dallas had. He was the only thing that Dallas could trade.
Right.
**Joe Johnson** (2:30)
I would think of the value that they had.
**Chad Johnson** (2:31)
For that matter.
**Shannon Sharpe** (2:33)
Micah, for me, I think Micah was a top-five defensive player. Yeah.
So, I don't think it's the same. Jerry's going to make it seem, maybe Jerry, that's wishful thinking. And all it has to do is Jerry says, if I win a Super Bowl, that's all that matters. That's it.
**Joe Johnson** (2:57)
That's all that matters.
**Shannon Sharpe** (2:59)
He just want him another Super Bowl before he go off. He does. That's it. That's all he want. And you know, it seems like, the farther, the more time pass between you and the one that you just want, the one that you want, you're like, damn, it's going to happen? Am I going to win another Super Bowl? Or, because think about it. Jerry brought the team in 89 By 95, they had three.
By 95, they had three.
So, you know what happens when you have that kind of success so early, Ocho and Joe. You think, this is bad. This is bad. This is, like, Ha Ha Davis said, this is about to be a breeze.
**Chad Johnson** (3:48)
Breeze. Oh, no.
Oh, no. Well, listen, it was a breeze when you had that kind of college you had.
**Shannon Sharpe** (3:54)
And you had that kind of coach that could drive them.
**Chad Johnson** (3:58)
That too, until the rest of the league caught up.
**Shannon Sharpe** (4:01)
If you Kansas City and you came to Kansas City from 2019 to 2024, all you know is going to the Subo. It is. You're like, man, this thing. Man, people talk about going to the Subo hard. Man, we go there every year.
It's normal.
It ain't normal. There's nothing about getting to the championship in your sport and doing it consistently. There's nothing normal about that. You might think it's normal. I'm saying, but when you're making it consecutively like that, you feel like that's normal. You do. I mean, every year you feel like you're going to get back to that point. Hell, then it may become a point here. You don't see that for the rest of your damn career. That's a possibility. You know what I mean? That's how- Look at Buffalo. Joe, your point is Buffalo bills.
