Hopefully this is code for "it depends on whether or not we get a replacement in the draft".
Hopefully they come out of this weekend with a replacement. His 5th year option is a bit over $9 million and that feels like too much of a gamble when you consider the injuries and diminished level of play the past 2 seasons.

In a perfect world the deadline to act on that 5th year option would be sometime this Fall and not next week.

Matt Johnson.....the man with the hamstring strength and durability of a 96 year old paraplegic.

Drafting Micah Parsons would go a long way towards fixing that concern, and impacting run defense, pass rush, coverage, turnovers, and general playmaking on most every defensive snap.

But we don't need that.

We're going to burn the best draft capital we've had in 5 years on a guy who's going to cover one WR (who might not even always be the most dangerous WR) and help with the run occasionally when it's a rush to the outside on his side.

Oh yeah, we might even get a feisty cover guy.

We drafted a stud linebacker after having needed one for a couple years now and picked up a 3rd rounder that could help the defense any further.

Don't be so dramatic, David.

Wait. I thought he was bringing the Richard D back so our dumb players who couldn't get Nolan's complex scheme could function again.

Yeah I don't get this either. So Lawrence will be standing up again in base? That doesn't make sense.

I love that he doesn't want to talk about the players until he sees them, though. That's old school. Most now days think they have to throw bouquets at their egos, about like these draft shows.

But it sounds to me like he wants to clean house. Good.

I'm keeping my eye on the Cowboys pro shop. Only a matter of time before those #54 jerseys are put on clearance.
