I'm actually not mad at this move. I think he'll be a decent LB. Plus, I saw that we've added Rashaan Evans to the draft visit list, so this could actually turn out to be a solid LB core, and I actually like this move.

I’m just glad you finally decided to show your face around these parts. We gotta get @Trouty to come meet us for beer and a game next year. He’s down in Sherman Oaks I think it is.

In all seriousness ...
What has this kid done that he's lead you to believe he will be decent ??
For that price tag...

You didn’t even make it to the new pad this year. All good I ordered new reclining coaches and chairs for the living room to go along with the 70 #boom

How much are we paying him?

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

I see that we're paying 4.6 mil, but I don't know for how long. https://247sports.com/nfl/green-bay...y-sign-former-Packers-LB-Joe-Thomas-116540673

I didn't make it because I got the 75'
But I'll cruise over for sure ...

2 years ...
I'm sure there is a way for us to get out of it ...but the parameters haven't been released yet ...
So we don't know what the dead money would be ...

Yeah, and, since we're not expecting him to be a camp body, I think it might be reasonable. I mean, I don't know much about this guy other than the stat link from ESPN that I posted, but I'm not opposed to the signing. Like, it's not great, but it's not bad.

It's a depth move for sure ...I just think that money could have been allocated elsewhere in free agency...especially since we are in the 3rd-4th wave of it ..
I'd rather have a extra 4.6 to throw at hurns and draft a couple linebackers with our picks...but hey ‍

Well, to be fair, we don't exactly have a lot of LBers, and there aren't many good options at LB around in FA. Beggers can't be choosers, and I still think this is a decent move. I'd give it a C+. Not awful, but not great. About average. Plus, them not signing Hurns yet just tells me that they're not sold on the WRs available.

Looking forward to the change in perspective here when the Cowboys are 11-5, in the playoffs and ready to roll.

Sounds good my next question would be
Is Jason Garrett showing up to work once the playoffs start ? Lol
If so ....

Hey, we have seen Garrett win a playoff game as a HC, so we have that going for us.

We might get to the playoffs but I doubt we roll.
