All this based on a few games in 2014.

Anyone still think this LB corps is "pretty good"?

I don't know what his original basis for the appeal was so I don't know. That's why I was wondering.
I think if the NFL feared litigation, they would have reduced it.

For them to reject it, they probably feel pretty confident on the strength of their case.

Move Lee back to the middle and let Hitchens play WSL.

I am glad this saga is over.

Well the Cowboys and Lawrence were supposedly confident before the appeal so I'm not sure how much stock I'd put in either sides "confidence level."

And what do you do after four games and Lee is out for the year?

It is not a coincidence he played a full season in 2015 by being protected on the weakside in a chase role.

You apparently mistake the Cowboys' idiotic habit of pathological optimism for confidence.

Lee isn't built to play MLB, especially with a depleted DL in front of him.

Good thing we drafted Jaylon ...right?
Hey!

You can't expect Jerry and Co. to expect everything that happens.

Taking a dice roll on a player everyone knows won't play until 2017 was a great gamble.

I mean, McClain has been such a reliable, dependable player, anyone could have made this kind of mistake.
