Earl Thomas time.

Yup. Thats next on the agenda

 

[phildadon86]

Way too much money for a Guard. Idc what anyone says

LOL. Yet you had no issue paying Dez Bryant 16 million this year for 800 yards and 8 TDs. 2 million a TD. Money well spent

 

[Aviano90]

Yes. 2,500 yards for Zeke coming up.

Comparing a Wide Receiver to a Guard is asinine and isnt even worthy of a debate.

I am comparing a guy that shows up to perfect his craft and not cause problems on the sidelines to a guy who couldnt care less about running routes properly, and was a constant distraction on the sideline in his last season. Position has no relevance. I love Dez, and I am not happy he is gone, but saying Martin who has been instrumental in our success doesnt deserve his money, is a joke.

I believe it is. Probably more hope than anything

Re-read my orginal post, slowly. I never said he wasnt worthy of his contract. Im simply saying im not paying a guard that type of money. I dont care who it is. Id rather give Dlaw that money and/or trade for Thomas and give him a contract.

You mean DLaw who finally had one elite season over an entire career of elite from Martin?

Ohhhh, O-line is not important to YOU. Got it!

 

[Supercowboy1986]

Sounds like a bunch of jerruh moves.

Extension values to $14M AAV. Total contract terms are 7 years, $93.341M for an AAV of $13.3M.

Rich man. I wonder if he likes older women, my sister is lookin......

When you are in the mold & career trajectory of a John Hannah, Russ Grimm, Mike Munchak, Larry Allen, & Gene Upshaw, you are going to get paid in today's NFL.

Zack Martin was elite the second he walked onto the field after he was drafted.

So far, D-Law is a one year wonder. In a contract year. He needs to prove it again before he can cash in.

 

[kevm3]

Great move. You have to keep your most talented players.

Yes D-Law, the dpoy candidate. You know, a player that can impact a game more than a guard can.

We havent won anything with Martin. That is even with an All-Pro QB, Wr, and RB.

We need to use more resources on the defensive side of the ball.

 

[gimmesix]

Todd Archer reported we gained $3M in cap space. So It'd be in the $6.3M area

We gained $3 million in cap space?!! We're killing our cap! Now we can't sign anyone!

Oh, wait ...

Who impacts a game more, a guard or defensive end?

And lets ignore that DLaw:

1. Had 8 sacks in a seaon before this one

2. Made the game winning play in a playoff game

 

[Teague31]

Good move. This team goes as it’s OL goes

Did we win anything with DLaw? I’ll wait while the crickets serenade me.
