Twitter: Jaylon's Packer salary is $770,000

[TwoCentPlain]

All the money Jerry's wasting on bad contracts, he could have spent on a GM's salary.

And that GM was going to do what differently this year? Draft different players than Jerry drafted this year? Signed different FAs? Cut different players?

We will rue the day …..

or

Jerry Dumbo GM Jones...The gift that keeps on giving.....indigestion.

Bruce Carter, Sean Lee, Jaylon Smith, and Leighton Vander Esch all 1st or 2nd round LB picks with either one leg or no neck. Linebackers with serious college injuries that Jerry thought was a good deal to use premium round draft picks.

So the Cowboys Owner, GM, and defacto HC made 3 mistakes (draft, resign, offset contract language) with one player? Arlington Jonesboys at their best.

The Salaryologist have spoken.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

That'll still buy him a lot of ground swipes.

 

[Whyjerry]

Overpaid

It shows what the league thinks of him. When we play the Pack I would target this fool with seam routes all day. I would also have Zeke on screens run right at him and force him to tackle. Guy will be on the bench in the 2ndQ.

So he is getting about 5-6 million for the rest of the year

Of course, the Pack will pay him the minimum because Jaylen gets paid the same either way, as the Cowboys are on the hook for the rest.

yup.

brilliant move by the Pack.

not so brilliant by Dallas.

we are on the hook for 6.8 mill in dead cap next season.

Doesn't anything he makes offset against his salary due from the Cowboys, such that there is no reason for him to fight for anything over the vet minimum?

 

[DuncanIso]

It’s a pay raise.

770K + his Dallas salary.

 

[khiladi]

So let me get this straight, LVE is mad at us fans because we are excited to let Jaylon go. All the while, the best Jaylon could do otherwise was the vet minimum!!

Think about that for a minute.

And as far as LVE is considered. I had to sit thru the worst defense I have ever seen the Cowboys play in my 50 years of watching them. Anybody is fair game!!!!

Did you forget when Kiffen was here?

Yep. Unless someone was going to offer him MORE than 7 million then Dallas would have to pay the difference so Jaylon could pick anywhere he wanted and focus on winning (with winning driving up value).

 

[Knotamus]

For those in back..

There IS NO offsetting language in his contract that saves the Cowboys against the cap this year! It’s been posted several times already, yet people are still debating this on this site and others.The Cowboys are on the hook for his full salary this year, no matter what he signed for in GB.

Sorry.. just setting the record straight

I bet Jaylon could have made more if he had demanded it. Not a ton. But significantly more than the vet min type contract he's on now.

Dude, they were on the hook for the 6.8M if he was still on the roster. It's sunk cost. I don't know why you keep repeating this and are fixated on it.

What they did was avoid 9.2M in salary for next year. For a player who was not going to start for them, and would, in all likelihood, have a lesser role this season as Jabril Cox gets more integrated into the defense.

Not if he takes his 2021 salary from the Cowboys as termination pay. If he did that, he would be able to double dip instead of being bound by offset language.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Were going to pay him to play for the packers lol

Better than paying him to play for the Cowboys

 

[Aviano90]

Can’t believe his contract didn’t have offset language. What was Jerry thinking?

Have you seen the team this year? They are good.

 

[Bullflop]

All is well except all the money Dallas is paying him

By now, I'm pretty sure Jerry knows he made a big mistake and will have to pay the price for it. Will he ever learn? Maybe not.
