Twitter: Cowboys were interested in WR Watkins

Maybe Donte Moncrief as fallback? *fingerscrossed*

 

[Alexander]

Expect a lot of this over the next few days.

"Cowboys were interested, but not at what he got paid."

That is how you stay relevant, folks.

Dallas can't even compete in free agency at the moment and have many of the mighty pen strokes to even look remotely presentable to free agents looking to get paid.

This is leaked fluff meant to calm the restless fan base who can't quite understand how they do things.

Ravens are after him.

But we will hear "Dallas was interested".

 

[theebs]

How would Dallas pay another wr?

I have to think they have a zero percent chance of signing a wr. We have 5 of them already.

Well I am glad they are not competing to sign an average player to an elite contract.

I have to think they have a zero percent chance of signing a wr. We have 6 of them already.

My guess would be to then release Dez.

It’s not about winning Alexander, it’s about saving $

Sometimes other teams help us keep from signing a injured player or over priced player.

But we can still complain when we did not sign an oft injured or overpriced player...it is the CBZ way.

But honestly, would you have been happy if it was Dallas paying Watkins $48 million over the next three years?

It’s not about winning Alexander, it’s about saving $

and staying relevant, which was his point.

I'd be curious of Dallas made an actual dollar amount offer and if so, how far off they were. I don't want to pay $16M for Sammy Watkins either but I'd like to know if our offers are realistic.

Even if it was best for the Cowboys there is still complaining.

See I'd argue the CBZ way is to make excuses for this Front Office.

 

[CATCH17]

I like the idea of John Brown or a trade for Corey Coleman.


Moncrief isn't a bad option.

This is the FO floating BS to appease fans.

Hey, we are trying!

If you think we are complaining now just wait and see how this fan base will react if Earl Thomas is traded for only a 2 or a 3.


I don't think even the Jones's understand the backlash they will face.

That may have been at one time...now the negative FAR outweighs that. Not even close now.

Forum has many more bitter old women at the nursing home compared to happy fans in a rainbow room.

Nope but hey if they did, they at least did something. I think most of CBZ would prefer the days of huge FA signings that accomplished nothing like Rivera, Carr, Hamlin, etc.

 

[Carson]

I’m sure Jerry offered him two million a year. But tried to sell the prestige of playing for the star

 

[charron]

Interested in Watkins yes, enough to give him 30M guaranteed no.
