So our big LB signings are Sean Lee and Joe Thomas?

Check.

you didnt expect big LB signings.

A first round pick and a huge contract already there. Surely you didnt expect much?

I mean unless the Cowboys are of the opinion that Vander Esch will never play another down of football. In that case it would have been different. But clearly the team doesn't think that's the case.

Yeah, but that doesn't make me feel any better.

This team hasn't exactly been the sharpest at successfully diagnosing and identifying health issues with players and how much time they'd be out for.

Yeah it's not meant to make you feel better. Just a matter of fact that if the Cowboys think LVE is good to play there was no way they were signing any legit LBers. And if they were to sign a new legit LBer they wouldn't have also retained Sean Lee. I get the concern though. It's hard to trust any NFL teams medical reports and the Cowboys seems to be the most optimistic of any.

Jerry has seen the XRays and has spoken. Which means LVE will be retiring in August.

As much as I want Dak to be paid, I shutter to think he will be, for however brief a time, the highest paid player in the league. Hard to fathom.

Hmm, so we'll only be able to land 2 Olawales instead of 3 next year, real shame.

Is it your opinion that that's all we added to our team this year? Olawales?

 

[Simpleton]

No but considering that we had about $30 million in space, including about $15 million remaining, and have mostly prioritized handing out contracts to shitbirds (Olawale, Rush, Justin March, Canady, Darian Thompson) totaling about $7 million, not to mention giving Sean Lee $4.5 for some reason, and holding Crawford's ridiculous cap number, I'm not exactly enthused about how they'd re-invest the savings.

Add up those 5 shitbirds who are unlikely to provide anything more than a run of the mill 6th/7th/UDFA rookie would, along with Lee, plus Crawford's cap hit and you have a cool $20 million against the 2020 cap.

$20 fucking million going to 5 shitbirds, a 34 year old LB who is decent depth, and a 31 year old utility DL who is coming off missing a full season because of a serious hip injury (those always heal quick).

When I say "landing Olawales" it doesn't literally mean only signing Olawale-caliber players, it's a euphemism for the front office being scared little bitches to do anything bold in free agency while mostly putzing around otherwise.

 

[NoDak]

I think that's the first time I ever saw the word 'shitbird' used three times in the same post. There was one in each of the first 3 paragraphs. I admit I was a little disappointed the last one was shitbird free.

 

[Simpleton]

I was close to calling the front office a bunch of shitbirds but opted for bitches instead.

 

[Rev]

He is only going to make Mahomes richer.

 

[Donpingon]

Reality is we won't live or die based on Dak's contract; we will however struggle if we continue to draft terribly

my dad loved to use 'shitbird'. Its a classic.

 

[Smitty]

Prescott going to emerge as NFL's highest paid player, fucking seriously?

We were all on here a year ago saying we'd be ok giving him $20 million a year if we can get him for a bit under market.

I'd fucking trade his ass.

 

[boozeman]

I'd fucking trade his ass.

Trade him where? We have players like Cam Newton who is looking for a new job.
