Cowboys Free Agency Thread

[bbgun]

get ready for Jerry to proclaim that "signing our own free agents" is enough

 

[Genghis Khan]

Per Spotrac, the Jarwin contract is way more palatable than has been reported.

Yeah that's actually great.

Jarwin's deal was reported as 3/24 but it seems that that reported number conflated a number of figures, including what he was slated to make this year before the extension.

4/22 is only a 5.5 AAV, which is about what I figured a guy like him should be getting, and is massively different than an AAV of 8.

 

[Donpingon]

Byron Jones to Miami

 

[boozeman]

Well, we have this going for us. Which is nice.

 

[ravidubey]

Yep and now a team with bad recievers and a boat load of cap space can throw their hat in the ring.

Exactly the kind of deal what a decent front office would have ready to at least tempt Cooper with. If nothing else, fuck over the Cowboys' salary cap.

 

[ravidubey]

I like that the Jarwin signing all but guarantees the man more playing time.

It's utterly ridiculous that Witten was in so many pass patterns over Jarwin given the difference in impact downfield.

I just hope they design things to his skill set. He is not an in-line blocker. Get it out to him where he has space.

I do have faith McCarthy will do this, even as shitty as Jerry and son have handled free agency so far at least we are rid of Garrett's stubbornness

Byron Jones to Miami

Although I have to admit I am interested in seeing if his lack of INTs is the result of the Cowboys scheme or just his inability to make impact plays. He wasn't much of a play maker in college either, so I'm betting the latter.

Per DMN:

He started at both safety and cornerback during his Cowboys tenure before settling into the latter the past two seasons. He carries to Miami a streak of 40 straight games without an interception. With two career picks in 73 starts, he is the first defensive back in NFL history to exceed 70 starts during his first five NFL seasons while recording fewer than five interceptions.

I love how people who defended his lack of INTs shared "highlight" videos of him doing something benign like batting away a pass in the red zone. That's nice and all but it sure would have been nice if he picked off some of those passes. That way instead of just holding teams to FGs the Cowboys could have held opponents to 0 points on those drives.

 

[Sheik]

I can’t understand why it’s so hard for anyone not named Jeff Heath to intercept passes with any regularity on this defense.

It has to be the scheme, doesn’t it?

In the same 5 years, Jeff Heath had 7 interceptions...

The silver lining!

 

[Simpleton]

Stephen is 100000% content to sit here and re-sign guys like Cooper, Quinn, Cobb, Collins and Heath and then take a nap until the draft.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Well at least we resigned Cooper now. 5 years 100 mil.

 

[Smitty]

Cooper back.

At least I'm interested to see him in McCarthy's offense.
