Our only shot at Gilmore was in a trade as a 1 year rental. . . Gilmore is gonna want multiple years and the Boys can't provide that
Problem with some Cowboy fans are exactly comments as such. People comparing what transpired with Smith as a precursor to what will happen with Lawrence. People dont get how important it is to have DLaw in the lineup every game. He helps the D in so many ways and he is unreplaceable. He is actually the piece this D needs right now to make this team take the next step. His demand of double teams and ability to be an excellent run stopper as a DE is something that this team is needing right now.
With Parsons and Gregory being able to get after the QB now, offences can no long double team DLaw alone. So yes maybe DLaw is getting paid to sack a QB but up to now its been him and only him on the D side of the ball that was a threat. Today and so far this season, the defensive scheme and players brought in will open things up to Lawrence to not only do the things he does extremely well already but also get back to getting at the QB for sacks.
I just find it funny that some put him and Smith in the same category of overpaid. DLaw has tremendous value even if he doesnt get at QB. But in time when hes back fans like these will see what this scheme will do for the stats that they are only looking for.
The way we are playing now I would rather sign Gregory to a less money shorter deal and dump D-Law but we can’t because of his contract. The list of players up for contract next year that is contributing now is long. We lose Gallup. I am convinced. Neal is up Williams is up Gregory is up. I hope to have another awesome draft but looks like we will be drafting late. I hope last.As many have pointed out between J. Smith's poor play and the other players stepping up and his contract, Dallas didn't want to be on the hook to pay guaranteed money to Smith next season if he got hurt.
That said, I hope this sends a message to some of the overpaid veterans who aren't living up to their contracts (DLaw, Collins)
YepI am too tbh. He seems like a nice guy. Just not a good player.
Yep with the guaranteed salary, I am scratching my head.I would LOVE to know what the final straw actually was.
Was it Quinn finally stepping up and saying, "look this guy is a liability out there?"
Still, given the guaranteed salary I may have kept him around, but if you take a closer look, we are going to have roster numbers problems coming up soon.
Still, I'm really surprised at this.
Yep with the guaranteed salary, I am scratching my head.
Is this true? Was Jaylon restricting who he was helping with his business programs?
Some fans, indeed. Idiots.
I dont think you get to break the huddle pregame if you don't have some leadership qualities. Jaylon has a magnetic personality that I'm sure drew teammates in. I don't think his brothers in arms feel anything like we do about him. Although it's hard to imagine they aren't aware of his limitations.
Laugh all you want, I feel comfortable with my assessment....thus was a money issue....simple as that.
Board.....we need a new Fall Guy nominee.
