And there is nothing wrong with that.

Nope.

 

[boozeman]

Nope.

We all understand there are supply chain problems right now.

Whatever can be delivered is perfectly fine.

For now.

sounds ominous

I am not saying overpay him. but I bet what we are offering is basically some dirt deal that they hope he is stupid and takes.

Exactly. Guarantee they are low balling him. I doubt he's being unreasonable, but they don't want to pay even market value.

 

[Genghis Khan]

They majorly downgraded for no real reason.

What is market for him though. And if they are low balling him why hasn't another team swooped in. Isn't that kind of the idea, the market is what other teams are willing to pay. If they aren't then is it really low balling?

In the end I'd probably offer like a 4 year 16 mil kind of deal. Maybe a little more. I sure as shit do not want another prove it deal. I want the guy to continue to learn and expand in this defense.

They majorly downgraded for no real reason.

If we let Gallup go and Washington was our signing I'd feel a hell of a lot better with him as our third to Cooper and Lamb. But replacing Cooper with Washington is a massive downgrade. I think Dallas is really trying to force Lamb as a number 1 WR.

Not paying to read that. What’s the short version?

Mike McCarthy: Departures of Amari Cooper, La'el Collins were difficult decisions

Cowboys fans are fit to be tied.

"We’re still in the first 15 (minutes of the offseason),’’ Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said Saturday, via David Moore of the Dallas Morning News. “The first quarter is not even completed yet. If people are frustrated, well, sometimes games are a little frustrating. We’ve definitely come out with a run the football and take care of your own mindset. Outside of our own roster, we have a mindset where we’re not going to throw the ball deep with every snap.

“How’s that for a football analogy?’’

So are the Cowboys better right now than when they ended the season with a loss to the 49ers in the wild card round? It’s hard to argue they are.


The Cowboys gave up a 2019 first-round choice to obtain Cooper at the trade deadline in 2018. They traded the receiver and a sixth-round choice to Cleveland in return for fifth-round and sixth-round choices. They got nothing for Collins, who started 71 games in seven seasons.

“I mean, Amari Cooper is a fantastic football player,’’ McCarthy said. “He does some things clearly that put him with the best, particularly his quickness at the lateral release is about as good as I’ve ever worked with. That was a difficult, difficult decision.

“Same with La’el. You don’t want to lose those sort of players. But when you talk about competition, there is also competition and a challenge in the financial arena. You have to make business decisions that are in line with the dynamics of your cap.’’

[Sheik]

Sure, Mike.

I'm sure you let all the women and children eat first before you jump in line, too. You're a real patient guy, Mike. Suuuuuuuure.

If FA was treated like Thanksgiving at the McCarthy home, I'm pretty sure we'd be full already and checking out the pies Aunt Bertha brought this year.
