I don't think that's it, the Giants are really thin at LB and just cut their leading tackler from last year.Sounds like the guy sucks. I wonder if the Giants didn't sign him for insight into our defensive scheme.
Yeah it is a sensible signing on both fronts.I don't think that's it, the Giants are really thin at LB and just cut their leading tackler from last year.
You heard right.Heard on NFL radio that cutting Brinkley before the start of the season allows us to claim another comp pick. Something to do with the formula of what we lost vs what we gained tipping the scales in favor of another pick. I'd bet that factored in once he showed he wasn't going to be contributing all that much to us. Lose the guaranteed money, but might as well get something in return.

The #Cowboys released LB Jasper Brinkley this week after guaranteeing him $2M. Now he’s headed to their rival #Giants
We won't get his signing bonus back but we will get his guaranteed salary subtracted from whatever the Giants pay him. I think we guaranteed $750k worth of salary, but I imagine he is going to sign for the minimum .Cowboys will gets offsets I hope.
Love the player, but I don't like the sound of that. He hasn't earned big money yet.
To me it's the perfect time to pay him. I really expect a breakout year for him this season. If we can sign him up before he has a 7-10 sack year and probowl I think it's a pretty good idea.Love the player, but I don't like the sound of that. He hasn't earned big money yet.
Yeah that sounds about right and we know the Cowboys have been pushing team friendly deals lately.I'd be fine giving Crawford around 6-7 a year, anything above that is overpaying at this point, although I do think that it is very possible that he could command around 8-9 a year after the season if we let him play it out.
I don't hate the timing, I hate the phrase "aggressively working". Jerruh getting "aggressive" makes me nervous.To me it's the perfect time to pay him.

Should have been MVP last year.
Jer is getting some new hardware, so his aggression is in check.I don't hate the timing, I hate the phrase "aggressively working". Jerruh getting "aggressive" makes me nervous.
I think it's supposed to be 2 from the offense and 2 from the defense.Replace church with Dez and it would be a better list.
