2022 Cowboys Free Agency Thread

Michael Pierce got 3/16 and we gave Armstrong 2/13, cool cool cool.

 

[Simpleton]

That's too much.

Is he really any better than Basham for example, who got less than half that?

I think he's better than Basham by a decent bit but he probably shouldn't have gotten more than 5/year.

You like Armstrong better than I do.

 

[boozeman]

We have like 30 million in space and for what? To overpay Armstrong by 2MM/year and low-ball Kearse?

At least sign someone like Akiem Hicks for like 2/15 (basically what you gave Armstrong).

Just quit wishing logic on the way these dumb asses work.

He was a draft choice.

His new contract is a promotion. So you make it noteworthy.

This is our design.

 

[boozeman]

theyre low balling Kearse, you know it.

And it is not right and it is a bad look.

Kearse signed a 1-year deal for $1.75M.

Double his salary, he sits right at the midpoint for the safety market.

He played outstanding and deserves more.

I think he is better than Basham as well. Still a rotational piece but they probably see this contract as starter money now.

They absolutely do.

He has been promoted.

Man man man….



Even the players think we suck.

You need to get your Twitter together.

His numbers compared favorably to Gregory’s.

His numbers compared favorably to Gregory’s.

His career arc was nonexistent.

It is not like he has gradually worked and improved every year.

It was a contract year for him and he cashed in.

He is the definition of a JAG that we are now paying.

Kind of surprised they didn't completely make him like they did Tyrone Crawford.

 

[Genghis Khan]

His numbers compared favorably to Gregory’s.

The numbers are all well and good, but when you watch them it's clear Gregory is significantly better and much more consistently disruptive.

I agree with others here, he might be better than Basham, mainly because he is not as dumb.

Yeah not even close. I think he is better than Basham but that isn't saying a lot.

 

[boozeman]

One thing I think is that part of the Kearse issue is Dan Quinn.

Kearse blossomed in a big way, out of nowhere. It was very impressive, but is it sustainable?

I am not trying to take the organization's position by a long shot.

If he is asking for a long-term contract, then somebody needs to talk some sense into him.

He was used especially well. He was put into the right position to make plays and, he made them.

If he wants five years and a billion gazillion dollars, then that might be confusing the Cap Tech.

When Gregory isn’t flat out tackling olinemen.

Stephen's organizational philosophy is basically that nobody deserves to be paid unless they were drafted by Dallas. Considering that excludes literally 99% of the players coming into the league I'd say that's a less than optimal strategy for winning a Super Bowl.

It's true. Pretty soon he won't have a choice though and we will see a flurry of bottom of the barrel guys signed. Ones that know they need a one year prove it deal and hit free agency next year.
