Cowboys source, Cowboys close to deal with Osa $21 Million a year

[Coogiguy03]

Before yall have a heart attack, his cap the first 3 years won't be near 21mil

I don't care if it were 23 rupees, it's too much for a player like him i'm sorry! We're paying the top tier free agent price, he needs to test the market maybe he gets more

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

why get him we get him and he doesn't pan out,at least if OSA doesn't pan out we can say we drafted our own guys and took care of them!!

now that OSA’s off the FA list, teams either have to pay Milton or get left with nothing. This means he’ll get 25m$+ now

hey at least we signed him early and saved a few bucks

 

[CWR]

This would be a better outcome than I expected. I was ready for them to play the long game, hit him with the tag and then negotiate from there. Getting a deal done early could mean they are getting ready to actually do something in free agency??? Maybe I'm too optimistic on that one....

There have been hints for awhile. We'll have to see if it actually comes to fruition.

You think it's all on him?

I’m not so sure that’s what I was getting at, but this team has been awful at stopping the run lately.

Does retaining him for that money fix that or keep it the same? It’s fine if they continue to add to the position and the middle of the defense, but this contract likely means they will not invest much more than a late round pick in a DT.

They feel that since they used a first on Mazi (as if him busting isn’t a possibility) and gave Osa the bag, it’s all settled, while I’m expecting more of the same. .

This move will be so bad that it would ruin the entire offseason for me. Nothing they could possibly do in free agency or the draft could make up for paying this JAG starter that kind of money.

It really depends on how this deal is structured. If it's say a 5 year deal that's really a 3 year deal with an out, then maybe its not the worst thing in the world.

I hope that's what it is,Micah too

I see that a lot of naysayers of this potential move are appropriating Stephen Jones’ logic.

Wait to make a decision on Osa till free agency starts. Risking driving up his price even further. Which we know everyone in here loves.

Or approaching free agency looking for a ‘budget-friendly’, two for one deal to replace that one contract.

Or having to hope the Cowboys can hit on Osa’s replacement in the draft’s 1st two rounds. Seeing how much success Dallas has had there when selecting DT’s.

Funny stuff.

funny how great OSA is that's why he's getting this huge offer, well let's think he's the same OSA that's in there when we're getting ran on, he's the same UNDERSIZED osa that struggles getting to the QB

 

[slick325]

Oh, boy. Guess that means they won't be taking advantage of the depth at the DT position on day 1 or 2.

 

[bottleKids]

Why will we pay this guy like a top 5 DT in the NFL but will wait on Parsons and at the time CeeDee?

 

[gtb1943]

I figured the moronic we like our guys thing would not change

He’s not great, but I’d rather Dallas be proactive in keeping at least some core guys together while supplementing them with the 1st and 2nd waves of free agents and the draft. As opposed to letting everyone of substance go, penny pinching their replacements with wave 5 and 6 free agents and draft selections.

Very true. Depends how the deal is structured.

Have to look well beyond the AAV to make that determination. If it’s like 5/105 but structured like the Cooper deal it’s not so bad. That last season could also have a large salary that he will never see, making the deal look larger than it actually is.

If they continue doing that same usual crap where they have to either guarantee a salary in a given March (or cut the player right then) for the season FOLLOWING the upcoming one, which is already guaranteed…then it could be a problem, and they better hope they get the player we saw in the latter half of this season because the one we saw prior to that wasn’t worth that money.

The biggest problem is if Jerry and son now figure the position is fixed because they threw money at it.

that only applies to guys that we didn't draft

We will see what the actual numbers are but $21M wouldnt even make him a top 10 DT in the league.

Oh, just wait Risen! They will do something that is absolutely more idiotic before the end.....

 

[BobSacamano]

Whether Dallas doesn’t spend money on OSA because for whatever reason he isn’t worth it. Some of yours logic.

Or not spending money, or barely, at all in free agency. Stephen’s logic.

They’re both about not spending money and it has been killing the Cowboys.

 

[Zekeats]

Terrible, Terrible signing. What a waste. Zero run defense and disappears way too much. Horrible signing, huge waste of $.
