Were the Cowboys really ever comfortable with Kellen Moore?

The Dallas Cowboys need pass rush help, and fortunately for them, there may be a way to trade for it.

Okay, okay. I get it. You’ve seen the image above the article title and thought to yourself, “This is silly”, but hear me out.

Back in April, the San Diego Chargers selected Joey Bosa, a defensive end from Ohio State, with the third overall pick in the NFL Draft. Since then, he has been quarreling with the team over language in his contract.

Essentially, the Chargers want to include offset language in Bosa’s contract. What that means is if the Chargers release him, they are off the hook for his guaranteed salary should he sign with another team. Additionally, they want to prorate his signing bonus over the length of his contract (pay 25% of the bonus each of the four years) rather than pay it all upfront.

Bosa has told the Charger’s that he will sign his deal if they pay his bonus upfront, or remove the offset language. So far, neither side has budged.

Here is where it gets interesting.

The Chargers have until August 10 to trade Bosa, otherwise they are stuck with him. However, if he continues his holdout past Week 10 of the regular season, he becomes ineligible to play in 2016. Should he not sign his contract by the time the 2017 NFL Draft rolls around, he re-enters the draft and San Diego loses his rights and yields nothing from their first round pick.

So, one would think the Chargers would rather rid themselves of the headache.

It is no secret that the Chargers have a bad offensive line. In 2015, Pro Football Focus ranked their unit as the worst in the league. Entering the 2016 season, they have them ranked as the 29th unit, ahead of only Chicago, Los Angeles and Seattle.

The Cowboys have a starting-caliber offensive guard on their roster by the name of Ron Leary. Last season, he lost his job to rookie La’el Collins, and Collins is expected to retain the starting job for the foreseeable future.

The Chargers would likely love to add a player like Leary, as he could immediately step in and upgrade their line. The Cowboys, with their glaring need at defensive end, could use the high-quality help, and can expend some offensive line depth.

Could a trade be in the future?

Hypothetical Proposal: Ronald Leary and Cowboys’ 2017 4th round pick for Joey Bosa and Charger’s 2016 6th round pick.
