Worst case scenario (not that I'm saying it will happen, but just being a realist) is that he does whatever he has to do, whether it be make the initial roster or whatever, gets the $2 million then relapses or gets hurt or gets released, and the $2 million is gone with nothing to show for it.

As always, I'll give him a chance, but I'm not expecting it will work out...

actually since I am a season ticket holder the organization will miss me. As soon as I can sell this damn seat license that is. I don't care what other fans think.

ah yes the org is struggling with money and their wait-list for season tickets says they can't sell them.

so why did you whine about not going after other players because of this signing? signing him has nothing to do with pursuing other players.

It's a message board. The idea is to post your opinions. You don't get that. You would rather everybody agree with you. That's not gonna happen. You better get used to it cause it's going to be an all day thing.

Lets see how many other DEs we go after in FA.

kind of a conundrum. was the ro mcclain deal a good one for us? for two years it was. then it all went to hell in a handbasket.

I think that you take risks like this for two reasons:
  1. Risk vs reward - a low risk for a high potential reward
  2. To buy yourself some time to get another option ready

There is no wait list for tickets for this team, never has been. Most of the tickets are corporate owned. I imagine whoever buys my PSL will be either a scalper or a business. That is what makes up over 50% of the fans in the seats out at sky mirror stadium.

Thanks for that. Yeah, the link at the bottom was to indicate that it was taken from the ProFootballTalk article.

I just copied the information and gave credit to where I got it from.

And yes, it will be interesting to see what they now do with pick #17. My hope is that neither this move nor Gregory's potential return changes their strategy. If a pass rusher like Chaisson is available, I'd hope that they would still take him.

Well the Cowboys have lately been mostly very good with their first pick (Taco being the exception), so we can hope that would be the case!

they haven't signed any DEs before this. they aren't counting on him. they aren't relying on him. nothing says they are. whine away, grandpa.

literal and literally are not the same word. stay in grammar **** school for a while longer.
the deleted word had to do with national socialism, not a swear word in any way.

This Alden Smith signing doesn't and shouldn't detour us from drafting a possible top regarded pass rusher in first round at 17 overall should opportunity arises itself.... :cool:

Not since 2016 in my opinion. LVE is a good player but the injury thing makes even him a question mark.

lol, WUT? literal is derived from literally.........the definition of "literally" LITERALLY mentions "literal":lmao:

literal - "taking words in their usual or most basic sense without metaphor or allegory."

literally - "in a literal manner or sense; exactly."

no, Smith is not in the most basic sense "cancer."

i'm sure they've vetted the info as best as they can. but there's no sure fire way of checking out a man's mental wiring.

Well, at least this in an improvement over your last post. Your showing progress, that's good.

Keep working on it. You'll get there.
