That's a stupid argument... even for you. He is finishing his rookie contract and has excelled. So to argue that since he has only made 12 mill, 20 mill should be attractive is laughable at best.When his entire career, he hasn't made even 12 million total.
Dez comes with potential problems, this is why they have him in the mentor/monitor program. No program, no contract and I wouldn't blame Dallas at all.
I think we would still be seeing 300 YPG out of Romo with or without Dez. What, Tony's just gonna take sacks and not find receivers like he's done his whole career?Not sure I'm even arguing with this fool about this. He is the moron that thinks our offense would be just fine without Dez. #anyreceivercancatch
You act like 20 mil is the total, for the length of the deal. It's far from it. And by the way if he didn't like his rookie deal he shouldn't have signed it.That's a stupid argument... even for you. He is finishing his rookie contracted and has excelled. So to argue that he since he has only made 12 mill, 20 mill should be attractive is laughable at best.
His thug representation in the form of RocNation gives me that clue. If you don't think the mentor/monitor program is a sticking point with Dez and his camp, don't know what else to tell you. If it isn't it should be, like you said he's done well off-field. He should be graduating that program.Oh, and in case you haven't noticed, Dez has also excelled off the field. And, wtf are you getting that one of the hangups is him wanting to get rid of any program. Pulling shit out of your ass again?
The hangup is the guaranteed money. That has been made very public. He doesn't think $20 mill in guaranteed money should be his level of pay, and I agree with him.You act like 20 mil is the total, for the length of the deal. It's far from it. And by the way if he didn't like his rookie deal he shouldn't have signed it.
So, his agent should makes everyone with half a brain believe that a mentoring program is the hangup?His thug representation in the form of RocNation gives me that clue. Ifyou don't think the mentor/monitor program is a sticking point with Dez and his camp, don't know what else to tell you. If it isn't it should be, like you said he's done well off-field. He should be graduating that program.
I'm on Dez's side when it comes to that mentor/monitor thing. If that truly is a sticking point and Jerruh and Stephen are still insisting on it, I hang the blame for no deal, on them. On the other hand, they may feel they need SOME insurance still.And no I don't believe he still needs a "handler" to stay out of trouble. Dez has proven he has matured past that point. I don't think he needs a baby sitter anymore.
Well he doesn't like the shitty contract offer now, which is why he isn't signing it. Why should he take less up front then Mike Wallace, Jeremy Maclin and Vincent Jackson. That's just laughable.You act like 20 mil is the total, for the length of the deal. It's far from it. And by the way if he didn't like his rookie deal he shouldn't have signed it.
Sure it does, in answer to any and all references to how well he's done with his rookie deal, and the assertion that means he should get more money because of that. No, he signed that deal and both sides lived up to it and that is over.And, your second sentence in the context of this discussion makes zero sense... even to someone with a third grade comprehension level such as yourself.
You can believe what you want, but it's interesting how a kindergartner thinks he can move anyone "up."He has been quite public with saying that it's the money part of his contract, unlike this nonsense your are spewing.
But even so, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt... show me an article that even insinuates that a mentor program is the problem, and I will move you from 3rd grade to 4th.
I never said he should just take the deal.Well he doesn't like the shitty contract offer now, which is why he isn't signing it. Why should he take less up front then Mike Wallace, Jeremy Maclin and Vincent Jackson. That's just laughable.
You said the standing offer is reasonable. The last numbers I heard weren't. Now if Dallas has a standing offer with a 40 mil or more signing bonus I may say otherwise.I never said he should just take the deal.
Reasonable for what they can pay, not necessarily reasonable for the WR market, which really isn't that well established and is in flux. If Denver is successful in signing Thomas, then we have a real benchmark.You said the standing offer is reasonable. The last numbers I heard weren't. Now if Dallas has a standing offer with a 40 mil or more signing bonus I may say otherwise.
He has laid it out there. He's the guy who went to Twitter to air his grievances like a teenager.Dez hasn't actually missed games yet. If he does, I will be pissed at him.
With this WR corps and Joseph Randle as the lead RB?Do people really think it is that unreasonable to believe that Tony Romo would still throw for 300+ yards a game, still find targets, and still be successful without Dez?
Agreed.Fuck Dez if he does this. There's absolutely no reason or advantage to hold out after the deadline, other than to be a petulant Fuck.
He put them out there to put more pressure on the Cowboys. It's just all part of the negotiation. If it helps to get a deal done with the Cowboys I'm all for it.He has laid it out there. He's the guy who went to Twitter to air his grievances like a teenager.
Right now, if he just farts around in training camp and holds out, he will come off as weak.
The minute he Tweeted that, he escalated things.
I really don't have an issue with his feelings. But now he's put them out there, he will be pressured to live up to his threats.
Without Dez all of our tendencies go out the window. Opponents will be facing basically a entirely new offense, with no film on it. Can be a good thing, can also be a bad thing. I think it is reasonable to believe Tony will do what he always has. If they think they can just pin their ears back and come pall mall after Tony, I'd like to see them try that.With this WR corps and Joseph Randle as the lead RB?
Abso-fucking-lutely.
You think teams will cower?
OMG...it's Romo!
Get real.
They will tee off on him like there is no tomorrow.
And maybe. But the mature thing to do would be to just let it play out.He put them out there to put more pressure on the Cowboys. It's just all part of the negotiation. If it helps to get a deal done with the Cowboys I'm all for it.
