Cowboys and Brandon Weeden agree to 2-year deal

[Doomsday101]

I think this is no more than an insurance policy, I think Weeden still has to make the team this contract does not lock Dallas in with him. It is a low contract in case Orton chooses to retire if not then those 2 will battle for the backup spot

SF gave up a draft choice for Gabbert. We're on the hook for $75K if we keep Weeden.

 

[big dog cowboy]

what a joke,these guys are not even trying anymore

Actually it's just the opposite. Weeden will allow Romo to take it easy in OTA's. The last thing we need to do is push Romo in his recovery. Unless protecting your franchise QB coming off back surgery isn't trying anymore.

THANK YOU!!!

 

[BoysFan4ever]

Put this into perspective, we get rid of players like Demarcus ware and Jason hatcher and sign players that the CLEVELAND BROWNS released ....

Why ke-mo sah-be why?

I actually had to look that up but I like the Lone Ranger too. Reruns!

 

[jblaze2004]

i guess not bad if and only if orton retires or is cut. I prefer retired.

SF gave up a draft choice for Gabbert. We're on the hook for $75K if we keep Weeden.

Plus we didn't give him a single dollar of bonus money, so we could cut him at any time and not be on the hook for anything.

Now fire Orton into the sun and use the millions of cap savings to help our defense (Melton+).

I still remember this game, I was actually there and Weeden wasn't absolutely horrible.

Talk about twisting the story.

LOL, .. is Weeden here? Are Hatcher and Ware here?

What twisting? Two facts.

Weeden's job interview probably went something like this.

Jerry: Hey Brandon, how ya' doin'?
Brandon: Good Jerry. I know I can make an impact for your team and wanted to discuss my play last sea-
Jerry: Wheat or white?
Brandon: Uh... what?
Jerry: Wheat or white?
Brandon: Uh... wheat.
Jerry: Good answer. Here's a check. Welcome to the Dallas Cowboys.

 

[Beast_from_East]

Welcome Brandon!

LOL...................soft lob to the sideline......................wow.

 

[mmohican29]

Not horrible. Nothing wrong with a functional QB who is compensated like someone expected to throw the division losing interception, vs 20 million between 2 other options to do the same. Personally, I think Weeden isn't as shabby as other zoners. I've seen him throw the ball well against the Ravens only to be let down by his running game and O-Line in losing efforts.

SF gave up a draft choice for Gabbert. We're on the hook for $75K if we keep Weeden.

His contract is more than $75k, that's just his cap hit - but point taken.

 

[WhizKid]

Wait for his first pick. They'll be loud.

Lol yea probably

You have to remember though, this Cowboys defense can make Stephen Hawking look like Dan Marino back there.

 

[17yearsandcounting]

If you are collecting camp arms, it might be a decent idea to collect camp arms that are better than 50% accurate.

The case for Ware and Hatcher not being Cowboys anymore has nothing to do with signing Weeden. Your reaching.

 

[pjtoadie]

I am not a fan of Weeden at all but the fact we aren't on the hook for much makes sense.

 

[Floatyworm]

I'll be the maverick and say good. He does have some talent and anyone should get one more look beyond that dumpster fire that was Cleveland.

If he proves he can't develop any more pocket awareness than Chad Hutchinson, just dump him.

Most of all, he should be way cheaper than Orton, and of course we can use any cap space we can scrape up.

Somebody had to Josh Gordon. I'll take it. Plus wasn't he Bryant's QB @ OSU?
