Signed by Cowboys Cowboys extend Flournoy - 1 year $6m

[Gambit]

It’s a 1 year extension so he’s here this year and next. This in NO WAY affects the Pickens situation.

Correct

 

[Gambit]

We just LOVE our guys!!!!

In this case, why shouldn't we?

 

[gimmesix]

I suppose the advantage for him would be to get an extension now so that if he was hurt this year he wouldn’t enter into his RFA year with no safety net.

Hell, I hope they do give him more money. I mean, they are giving BSF $12m guaranteed.

Yeah, but it's no advantage if there's no guaranteed money. He gets hurt this year, then they could cut him and owe him nothing.

I think he likely got some guaranteed money out of this, whether it was guaranteeing his salary this year as a "bonus" or giving him some upfront money this year or guaranteeing a portion next year.

I hope CD doesn’t get traded. I hope he retires a Cowboy

he legit has a chance of having a HOF career, really hope we see more 100 catch years from him

 

[Coogiguy03]

It's happening!!!!

No idea what's happening but something's happening and wanted to be first to say it!

So, whatever happens next, I told you so!

Easy reality, pretty soon this would always happen and things would be called in the English words NORMAL!!! LOL

 

[gimmesix]

RFA deals are not guaranteed. 5th year tenders are fully guaranteed at time of exercising that tender.

Oops, that's right. I was thinking it was like the franchise tag and fully guaranteed. But they are not.

Still, there does not seem to be an advantage for Flournoy to agree to this extension unless there is guaranteed money involved.

 

[DFWJC]

Nice short-term payday for the kid!

 

[AbeBeta]

This is basically just agreeing to his restricted free agency year deal early.

Someone knows what is up.

We need a board full of people who possess this basic NFL contact knowledge.

 

[big dog cowboy]

now this is a good move unlike the Spann ford contract which will not age well.

What's wrong with his contract? Again, it's $6M a year which is peanuts in todays NFL.

This reminds me of Sam Williams contract getting some up in arms. It was $2M!!!!

 

[Rayman70]

I think we are Bank rolling money by doing these extensions. I bet it's for Pickens. Which could put a big name on the trade block. Could be for a db or Crosby but I doubt it. Common sense says it might be them getting ready to extend Pickens

 

[Rayman70]

So much for using that cap money for any trades. Good.
Now save the rest of it for George Pickens.

Bingo. By doing these extensions it adds more money to the available cap. I think it's for Pickens.

 

[big dog cowboy]

this is a really nice, small move that shows the team is doing things the right way.

Spann-Ford and Flournoy are perfect little deals that helps avoid going through all that in FA when they could likely want more.

Spann-Ford and Flournoy are perfect little deals that helps avoid going through all that in FA when they could likely want more.

Right, it removes Spann-ford from becoming an URFA and Flournoy would have been a RFA. Most likely tendered then the negotiation process.

Basically he has 2 prove it "more" years.

 

[jazzcat22]

Bingo. By doing these extensions it adds more money to the available cap. I think it's for Pickens.

Yes, exactly. Just hope that cap space doesn't burn a big hole in Jerry's pocket.

 

[DarkVader33]

I don’t think it does. Flo is gonna cost $6 mil next year which eats into the cap. Even if they had added some this year, it would mean less to rollover for next year.

 

[KDM256]

Good job by the front office with this deal and not wait until the last minute to take care of business.

I like Flournoy as a player & potential and want to see him contribute more to the offense.

 

[DarkVader33]

Most were high on Flo. Now he gets paid for one year and some are disappointed and think he was signed to early and/or too much. I don’t get it.

 

[fivetwos]

I don't really understand why Flournoy would do this. He'd get at least that on the tender or as a free agent and he's cost himself a lot of money if he has a big year.

I suppose he could always sign an extension anyway, especially if he ends up traded, but this is an odd one to me.

Exactly my first reaction. Makes little sense.

Then again, I realize the stakes are different, but this does set him up for life if he has a serious injury (assuming it’s guaranteed for that) and doesn’t live extravagantly, but I still don’t see the logic overall.

Talk about betting against yourself. I wonder if he is truly worried about losing WR3 snaps to Brown.

 

[Kingofholland]

Flournoy is the guy I probably would have liked to lock up a few more years vs 1, but nice to know we'll have him atleast this year and next.

 

[817Gill]

How is he better?

Just insane to even type that Camden Brown is better than Flo lmao
