Cowboys plan to re-sign long snapper L.P. Ladouceur
Posted by Charean Williams on February 18, 2019, 9:29 PM EST


For 14 seasons, the Cowboys have had L.P. Ladouceur as their long snapper. The Cowboys brought in competition — younger and cheaper — for Ladouceur many times over the past 14 seasons.

Ladouceur, though, keeps winning the job.

The 2014 Pro Bowler has never had a poor snap in his thousands of snaps.

So it comes as nothing of a surprise that the Cowboys intend to re-sign Ladouceur for a 15th season, Calvin Watkins of The Athletic reports.

Ladouceur, 37, made the minimum salary benefit last season, making $1 million in base salary and counting only $720,000 against the cap.

He has made $6.61 million in his career.

This guy is worth every penny. Dale Hellestrae was awesome. L.P. Ladouceur has been better.

I only hope we don't have to suffer through the abyss we did after Hellestrae was gone. Damn, we had some shitty long snappers for a while.

I hope he sticks around for as long as he can play, LS snapper is one of those positions that's easy to take for granted when you have a good one.

Funny how we have this dichotomy with Amari, Tank and Dak with such large contracts and then theres Ladouceur, who's played for years on smaller deals. His role is pretty damned important, and he has to be considered a top ST center.
