Twitter: Archer: Cowboys close on new contract with Dorance Armstrong

[CowboyChris]

Yeah, Stephen is seeing our cap space at almost $40 million and doesn't want to budge.

it would be funny if Armstrong's asking has tripled after the Gregory fiasco and Stephen's head is exploding.

I have no problem with retaining Armstrong - for the right price.

I simply see him as a rotational guy vs. playing the majority of snaps.

 

[plymkr]

Im good with it as long as its under 7 AAV and we get someone else. He's a good rotational player

Dumb and dumber will sign him to 14 million a year.

 

[CowboyChris]

I predict after the Armstrong signing our attention will turn to LVE, get ready boys

LVE and Watkins!!!

Dumb and dumber will sign him to 14 million a year.

And then try to sell it to the sheep.

Once they lock him up, ( and we will still need to draft a starting DE) will Urban be next ?
After all, we're not going outside the organization.
The reason the pro-scouting depth. Isn't any good anymore. Is they've all left. Who needs pro-scouts if you never use them ?

The regular season is nice but the tournament is what you play for. I looked up the defensive stats from the wild card game and we had no sacks. Three players had TFLs Lawrence 1, Parsons 1, Armstrong 1. Gregory had 1 tackle and three assists.

Gregory was a progress stopper....I wanna see what Armstrong can do in a full time role.

 

[Mobinvans]

Who cares, seriously

Nothing. I had hope for him years ago but he's a bum

 

[dueyhemlock]

Yes!!! He is a solid player. People seem to forget or give Parsons the credit for the defensive play when DLaw and Gregory were hurt. He is a good player.

Good rotation piece

 

[DFWJC]

Guess it depends on what they pay him.
He was solid contributor (5 sacks, lots of hurries) last year but I'd think its more for depth.

 

[LifetimeBoysFan]

I can’t wait for the spin when he is given way beyond market value, but someone worth market value is too rich for them and they sign for less than Armstrong elsewhere

 

[tunahelper]

Armstrong is not saying a word when Jerry handed over his contract with language deducting money should he get fined.
Armstrong knows he can walk if he doesn't sign. Jerry has put the league on notice.

 

[tyke1doe]

As Jerry would say, "War Daddy!"

 

[Cboyfan4ever]

No, No. WE GET THIS. We don't need to sign Pro Bowlers. Just starting caliber players, who can come in and start for us.

We are tired of the Nolan Carrolls, Keanu Neals, Cedric Thorntons.

We don't hate signing Armstrong. But go sign a Bobby Wagner, Will Fuller, Dante Fowler, Michael Pierce as well.

We haven’t signed a guy for more than $5 million in free agency. since BRANDON CARR. That was ten years ago

Is that when Jr.(cheepo) started having more say.

 

[snapper]

Really?

Hahahahahaha.

He's a backup. Nothing wrong with that as we need depth at DE. But we really need to stop thinking guys who have been in this league for multiple years are actually better than they have shown simply because they haven't been starting.

If Armstrong is their solution at DE in FA, that's just weak.
