Saquon Barkley expected to sign with Eagles

[Aerolithe_Lion]

It's funny because they always lose

Teams in the last 7 years with 6+ playoff appearances, 6+ playoff wins, multiple SB appearances, and a ring

KC
Philadelphia

End of list.

Paying 15 mil for Saquon is stupid

I agree, that’s why we only paid him 12m a year. It’s 15 if he proves to be worth 15. Then if he does it wasn’t stupid

Barkley was not a difference maker in NY against us. So he won’t be in Philly either. Even being on a better team.

Final.

There goes his legacy in NY.

 

[GuitarBytes]

Good, he doesn't scare me at all.

Now go sign Derrick Henry.

with what money? the cowboys haven't even made any more adjustments to free up salary space, they are in pathetic mode

12 Mil is still stupid. How many superbowls Noone cares about playoff wins.

We've already reworked Martin and can rework a few other contracts and have lost like 5 players to free agency. We have enough cap space to sign Henry for 8 million. If he wants 12 forget it.

You’re not allowed to say that on this board. You’ll depress everyone

I didn't think RB was a big need for Dallas anyway, I mean we still have Deuce Vaugn right?

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

Because they are all young and don't understand

 

[Sydla]

Of course they are not. He'll make his mistakes but Howie is aggressive.

And before any of you yahoos rip him, he's built two SB teams in the last 6 years.

What's our brain trust done?

 

[Staubacher]

LOL.

So let's rely on a rookie and our slop already on the roster to fix the running game?

Doncha know? We're fixing all the holes in the 2024 draft. 7 new all-pro starters on Day 1. Go Cowboys!

In fairness, $12MM for a TB especially one with Barkley's injury history, is a pretty big risk.

 

[Rockport]

The Eagles are always all in.

Yeah, remember the Dream Team? How’d that work out?

There is definite risk specifically with Barkley. Howie specifically targeted him over Jacobs or Henry for a reason we’ll find out in a bit… But 12m$ today was 8m$ a few years ago when Zeke was signed for 16m$. The cap jumps have been enormous since then.

I agree getting away with paying less at RB is a strong strategy, but this is better than paying Swift/Pollard 8m$ (or starting Gainwell).

Key point here is this is Kellen Moore’s choice at RB. And Saquon is a major threat in the passing game.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Yeah, remember the Dream Team? How’d that work out?

They won the gold metal in the 1992 Olympics.

Kids here are too young for that

 

[Stash]

If healthy, he should have a good year.

I think this is a bad move. Demarco Murray part two.

 

[Staubacher]

They've had a much better run than we have had in the last 20 years. 3 SB appearances, 1 win.

They keep taking shots, some of them actually work.

 

[CTcowboy203]

It’s a contract the cowboys would never ever do and likely shouldn’t but it likely is restructured or he’s released in 2 years. No issues cowboys not doing this but again Philly is being aggressive and as much as I hate them they are a very well run organization and have had more success than us in the last 2 decades or so.

Hopefully the cowboys have a plan intact with the draft or trades to keep up with the arms race that is the nfl
