Twitter: Cowboys talking numbers with Peters

[ESisback]

And if dak gets knocked out with peters playing then what?

Bottom line is does peters give us more depth? Yes

Can we play the bucs with who we have and win? Yes

Peters is not the end all be all, he will help bridge the gap and improve depth, let's not over magnify the impact he will make

You’re probably right, but an OL of:
Peters, Smith, Biadasz, Martin, Steele sure looks better than last year to me.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

The media has spies all through the Cowboy's Organization. If something happened, someone would know.

Again with the assumptions of unknowable knowledge.

it might be, and then again peters might be out of shape and over it, who know buddy

all we can do at this point is hope for the best depth and trust the coaches right?

 

[Cowboy-33]

Couldn’t they announce a deal is done but the actual signing not til Tuesday? I know I’ve heard that before in the NFL.

oh well it’s gonna play out however it does and we just have to wait

Yes sir. If healthy how do you lose there. So the weakness is a strong point and we have a Defense that’s looking like wow.

Yep … FRISCO - All the parties involved seem to like the concept, and one source close to the Dallas Cowboys' negotiations with offensive lineman Jason Peters tells CowboysSI.com, "It looks like it's going to come together.''

I don’t think so. I mean there has been no transactions in the NFL since / after the negotiations started

Fish said deals can not be announced because they have to go through the league office first, and since the league offices are closed till Tuesday, no official announcement can happen until then. BUT.... he strongly hinted that it would get out if they reached an agreement, so it would leak before then.

Thanks

 

[glimmerman]

Thanks

Lots happening. Sounds like I will do it but I want…

 

[DandyDon52]

ok so we have to wait until tue or wed to see if anything official is announced.
NFL evidently suspends operations for the holidays ! lol that is funny, I mean they have been "off " for months, but got to have their holiday!

It's possible but those type leaks are usually from the agent.

Exactly and the Bucs don't know what to scheme the OL will be until the announcement.

 

[Ken]

if it’s the expected 1 yr deal, that money will be re-available next year anyway

Yes, but not the additional amount of whatever he signs for.

For instance, if they sign him for 4 million dollar this year, that will be 4 million not ADDED to our cap room for next year. So if the cap is 100 million.....we could spend 104 if we don't spend that 4 mill this year.

interesting. i didn’t realize it operated that way.

 

[CowboyRoy]

They aren't going to blow it. The deal is probably done. They already created space for him on the practice squad. The league office was closed when they came to an agreement is my take. It doesn't reopen until Tuesday. We should get official word on Tuesday. The take on here will be either Jerry paid too much and got fleeced or Jerry is cheap and they never sign high dollar free agents. The truth is Peters is a good player and the Cowboys did an outstanding job in building a good roster.

Theres that word again you keep using. "Good"

I disagree. Peters at LT and Smith at guard is worlds better than Smith at LT and Mcgovern at guard. Night and day. With the Peters at LT combination we have a fighting chance with the run game and pass protection. The other way there is little hope. The run game will be almost non existent again and penalties will be through the roof.

 

[Diehardblues]

Tell me again why Peters is available?
