Cowboys sign Darren McFadden - 2yr deal worth up to $5.85m (200k bonus)

[CATCH17]

I seriously doubt that they are looking for a rookie in the first 3 rounds though.

I don't.


Also...

McFadden could be a kick returner as well.. Don't sleep on that.

 

[Bullet22]

All the negative Nancy's have never seen the guy play much...

 

[links18]

This was the move everyone here wanted...............in 2008!

I seriously doubt that they are looking for a rookie in the first 3 rounds though.

Actually, I'd be surprised if they didn't take a TB in the first three rounds.

 

[dupree89]

LOL at the overreaction. This doesn't change the plan to draft a RB.

Bingo! But we knew the negative reactions would be coming unless Dallas somehow signed the next Walter Payton who mysteriously had slipped through the cracks. They see McFadden signed and automatically think Dallas is gonna try to get 30 carries a game from him.

If you did not happen to watch the three or four games that he was remotely healthy each year, it was kind of hard to watch him.

 

[davey999]

I don't.

He'll be hurt in game one, then. Very brittle.

I would rather have signed Trent Richardson.

 

[Zekeats]

Yuk

 

[reddyuta]

Murray had 5.2 ypc last year compared to 3.4 for DMC, yes its clearly the raiders oline. I wouldn't be surprised if he was cut before the season started.

 

[Craig]

The reactions to a nothing transaction like this make me embarrassed to be associated with a lot of people here.

 

[ferrispata]

The downside is that his name will keep him on the roster and we will cut better players.
You Ryan Williams fans better realize that we will draft a back still so it will be McFadden , draft pick, and only 1 more roster spot. Typically that spot is for a 3rd down back. So Ryan Williams and Randle will be the odd men out.

I don't buy it. They will keep the best players. They know how to evaluate the talent better than we do. They are watching them everyday in practice.

McFadden 3.3, 3.3, and 3.4 ypc the last 3 years is concerning. I get the move...roughly the same age, similar running style, used to have great explosion and speed....can catch the ball.

I just haven't see the guy in a couple of years...

 

[iceberg]

it MUST be the Arkansas connection.

 

[Plankton]

 

[waving monkey]

Always hurt. No more burst. Bottom of the barrel stuff. Pathetic.

Everyone here thought this guy sucked - so we still agree with that correct?

I am not a fan but there is more to be done

 

[Stash]

Well some said anybody could run behind our line.

We're about to put that to the test!

 

[mldardy]

I would rather have signed Trent Richardson.

 

[Alexander]

This is what you called a "throw them off the scent" move. AP is still in play.

Hardly.

 

[MikeT22]

The upside is it's a low cost, low risk move.

The downside is he is terrible and can't stay healthy. Kind of a pointless signing even it is doesn't cost much.
