News: Zeke: "We want OBJ"

[ActualCowboysFan]

You're right. Dak has been quiet. Interesting. On another note I wish all of our players were being quiet and following Dak's lead. The more the players talk about wanting OBJ the more leverage OBJ gets. Jerry has not displayed a good history when players have leverage.

It’s a sales pitch

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

He wants a multi year deal

he likely doesn't get that at the end of the year, he can get one and then we re up him next year if we want

 

[plymkr]

Too late for that.

I know, that's what worries me. I want him but not to the point that we overpay. 1.25 million plus incentives sounds great. I just hope all this talk from our players doesn't drive up the price. Maybe it already has. Dallas should make Michael Irvin their unofficial recruiter, since he does it anyway, and the players keep quiet. But hopefully we'll know soon enough.

Stop worrying so much about money. This team has plenty of options and can absorb nearly any contract under 30 a year while not breaking a sweat

 

[This is Our Year]

Just a matter of when not if at that point.

OH PLEASE HE WANTS HIM TOO HE JUST DOESN'T WASN'T TO OFFEND CEEDEE AND THEM

Do you read the post? Or do you just jump into Dak defensive mode if his name is mentioned? If you read the post I clearly stated "I wish the other players were following Dak's lead". How are you interpreting that as against Dak when I clearly stated others should be doing what he's doing? Wow, if you're going to be defensive, at least be defensive when someone is attacking Dak, not complementing him.

So 3 players want OBJ That is not many

Well, TBH those three ones who are openly recruiting...there may be more that want hi but aren't out their on social media saying it.

I am probably in the minority here but I like OBJ and Dez We should sign both

Please shut up you overpaid backup RB. We don’t want or need another helmet tapper after a few plays.

I just re-read my post and I butchered the English language.

I'm terrified of what OBJ will be coming g back from a second ACL. You can see its Stull affecting Gallup and I would expect the dame to be true for OBJ. Dez lost what little but of speed had years ago.

I like both Dez dont need speed he can catch OBJ can also It would not aggravate me if we signed either or both or neither

I don't think it would be a good look for Dak to recruit cause like you said he has to look Gallup n Lamb in the eye everyday, and what kind of message does that say to them...

There's already enough guys on the team and FO making statements anyway. I think it's a very smart move by Dak, but we'll see what he says tomorrow.

i really think you guys need to get this 1m-2m stuff out of y’all’s head. He is not signing for those peanuts nor should he. Even referring to what the rams paid him last year it’s different because he was still being paid by the Browns last year since they cut him. That’s why he was willing to play so cheap for rams cuz he was already being paid. I feel you’re easily gonna have to pay him 7M-9M a year for about 3 years. And I’m all for it, get OBJ here in ASAP

I'm all for getting him as well. My only concern is if we pay him 7-9 million for 3-4 years would that jeopardize resigning Diggs and Parsons? And a lesser extent Lamb. If Lamb was the sacrificial lamb, pun intended, then I wouldn't be concerned but I definitely don't want to lose Diggs or Parsons.

I would assume they would play with the numbers in a way that wouldn’t interfere with Parsons or Diggs. You’re right we must keep those 2 at all costs

 

[phildadon86]

Jane Slater has come out and said that the cowboys FO interest in OBJ is real. Its off of her instagram story so I can post it.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

I hightly doubt they are that Machiavellian

Mods, he's using fancy words!
