We learned earlier tonight that the Cowboys were trading cornerback Charvarius Ward to the Chiefs, and now we’re getting details on what they’ll be getting in return. ESPN’s Adam Teicher reports that Kansas City will be sending offensive lineman Parker Ehinger to Dallas.
The 2016 fourth-round pick out of Cincinnati had difficulties staying on the field during his tenure with the Chiefs. He did start four of his five games as a rookie, but a knee injury ended his season prematurely. In 2017, Ehinger was limited to only one game (one start), but the Chiefs apparently had optimism that he’d be able to start at left guard this year.
However, the lineman was benched for Cam Erving during training camp, and Kansas City apparently decided that they were fine rolling with their current backups. That grouping includes Andrew Wylie, Bryan Witzmann, Jordan Devey and rookies Ryan Hunter and Kahlil McKenzie.
The 25-year-old will now try to crack the Cowboys roster, which is currently dealing with injuries to Marcus Martin and Travis Frederick. The six-foot-six, 310-pound Ehinger will presumably compete with Cameron Fleming, Chaz Green, Joe Looney, and Kadeem Edwards for backup reps.
so the cowboys who have a banged up O-line traded for an O-line player who has missed time with injury… ?? doesn’t make sense
Trading a guy that wasn’t going to make the roster is going to hurt if Ehinger doesn’t play.
This guy is 6’6 and 310 lbs so it might cost the Cowboys half their cap space just to satisfy his appetite.
Chaz Green is still in the picture?
If this new guy gets his leg amputated he’d still be better than Chaz Green
We Need! E. Thomas!!
Blah , ha , ha!!!!! That’s sad but true!
