Cowboys and Brandon Weeden agree to 2-year deal

[garyv]

Yes they signed Weeden. The bad news none of the Receivers were there to help work him out, so Jerry lined up on one side and Steven on the other and they said his passes were very close to the to the locations they ran on the routes. FYI only.

The release of Ware was due to 16 million reasons. Hatcher was a FA and too the money and ran. Neither one has any relationship to the Weeden signing which means actually zip. He can be cut at any time with no real cap consequences.

That's why he said you were spinning it....which you were.

People are just frustrated because we're letting go big names and not signing any big names to replace them.

 

[wileedog]

Yeah, I just don't get the whining over a guy they got to be the 3rd QB for little to nothing. If one thinks logically, they need the arms for the offseason. If he doesn't make it out of training camp, so what? It costs nothing for the Cowboys but traveling fees.

It also costs a roster spot. It also costs time and practice reps and coaching that could go to a young player who could develop into something more than a 31 year old turnover machine.

I don't really care about the money, at some point we need to replace Romo and if Weedon is getting in the way of anyone in anyway that might develop into anything than its a bad idea.

There is nothing whatsoever that would stop them from cutting Weeden if they draft a QB worth developing.

 

[17yearsandcounting]

He is a slow witted former baseball player with a massive wind up, terrible accuracy, and a knack for the turnover. I have seen this story play out in Dallas before.

 

[Beast_from_East]

I would have signed Vince Young over this scrub, even Tebow if we are going dumpster diving for QBs now

Wedeen..........LMAO

 

[Manster54]

I don't really see any downside to this deal. From what I saw in a few games against the ravens, he has an accuracy problem. What third stringer doesn't?

 

[silver]

Last time we signed a former Brown first round QB (Kosar) we won the Super Bowl. This is probably Jerry's reasoning as to signing Weeden.

 

[Super_Kazuya]

I'm okay with the move. As others have mentioned, Weeden has lousy pocket presence but a really good arm and size. Maybe Romo could introduce him to his buddy Interceptaverde, who had similar attributes and a pretty bad pro start.

i actually dont mind the signing
hope that he turns into what he was supposed to be when he was drafted
he has some talent but i think he had an inflated sense of his worth/competence and was thrown into the fire unprepared
maybe he improves by sitting and watching romo, he can learn a lot

 

[RS12]

Orton isnt retiring. He would owe the Cowboys 3 million bucks if he did.

 

[dstovall5]

Does this deal bring josh Gordon along as well?

 

[Setackin]

I honestly think this means romo has 1 more yr.... romo has never had an inexperienced backup... well I guarantee we dont go 8-8 next yr lol

Pretty simple actually.

and likely Dallas has no plans to use a high draft pick for a QB that is not news. Dallas plans on going with Romo the Weeden deal is not a big contract or long contract that prevents Dallas from looking to a QB in the near future.

Is this a joke?!?!? Seriouly????

Yes it is.

Tebow has a higher QB rating. Let that sink in.

Practice reps?

Romo ain't going to be taking many of those reps, Orton may retire. You need 4 QBs in camp and likely 5 with Romo rehabbing.

I really hope you didn't think he was serious....
