SI: Cowboys' Johnathan Hankins 'Doesn't Want to Sign Right Now'; A'Shawn Robinson Interest?

[armadillooutlaw]

2yrs/$7M get the job done?

 

[conner01]

I guess minimal wage doesn't agree with him......

It will begin too at some point

 

[BossRhino]

I tend to think this is not overplaying his hand but simply Hankins just isn't motivated now to sign, show up to mini camps, etc. I suspect what he's going to do is just take a vacation and then around July or August, he knows teams will want his size and he can sign then.

Now if a team gives him a ridiculous offer today? Sure, he'll sign. But he knows his likely market and market rate and for that, he can just relax for 2-3 months and then start getting ready to play.

I agree. But everyone is always replaceable. Hankins is replaceable.

 

[conner01]

That throws a red flag for me. He knows that JJ don’t like paying DT. He needs to get over that. D-Law sucked up a lot of the DT budget. But that’s JJ fault. It’s an impact position. Don’t know why they ignore Safety and DT.

They’ve addressed safety pretty well when the opportunity arose
Same will happen at DT

 

[conner01]

I agree. But everyone is always replaceable. Hankins is replaceable.

His price will come down just like last year
A guy who plays 30-35% of snaps isn’t gonna get big money

 

[Risen Star]

Not worth waiting on. Dude had 10 tackles last season. He improved the run defense but most any 330 pounder will.

Tell that to Quinton Bohanna.

 

[Risen Star]

You have to wonder if it's something you guys said that has him hesitant to re-sign here.

God I hate reports that don’t really report anything. Lol

All about "clicks" my friend.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds058]

Truthfully, we need 2 sign a DT now. Maybe 2.

Lol, not maybe we need 2 for sure.

Resort to the draft and move on

 

[Cowboysheelsreds058]

Yeah I do. Hankins is an average NT….FACT.

Lol, if he is average what are the rest of the current DT on the team?

 

[Cowboysheelsreds058]

LOL.

Yeah the front office is definitely on top of the DT situation.

You suckers fell for it……. Again.

Lol

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Tell that to Quinton Bohanna.

He’s a 6th round pick….the front office obviously hasn’t prioritized the position. But that doesn’t mean a slight change in philosophy won’t net us a more talented player.

 

[Ranching]

I guess minimal wage doesn't agree with him......

 

[gimmesix]

Yep, 6 whole picks later. Funny things to be seen here.

Well, trading down six spots does net another pick, so that adds to the value of it. I don't have a problem doing what we did when we drafted Frederick if Dallas wants Smith but thinks his value is somewhere between our first and second picks.

 

[DanA]

Yep, 6 whole picks later. Funny things to be seen here.

The difference between 26 and the top of the 2nd is equivalent to a 3rd-round pick. That's actually a big difference.

 

[Alexander]

Mike Fisher now glomming off Broaddus?

Fake on fake crime.

 

[Jake]

I guess minimal wage doesn't agree with him......

Vets like Hankins, and TY Hilton, aren't interested in OTAs and training camp. They've already got money, know they won't get huge deals, so they value their time.

Not worth waiting on. Dude had 10 tackles last season. He improved the run defense but most any 330 pounder will.

He had 20 - he came to us mid-season and was inactive in 2 games and missed 4 games.
