Wish people would think about the consequences of flashing the devil horns... it's not some innocent thing... the man upstairs is watching everything you do...it was a big turn off this year seeing the whole defensive team doing that...

Left up to Cowboyszone fans, we'd never extend any player who we drafted and has earned a big deal. "Oh you want to get paid the market rate? BYE!"

True... unless a "discount" is involved, go away. We like our mediocre seasons while keeping cap space.
Cap space is KING! All hail Cap Space!

They'd rather spend big in FA than reward our own guys.

Eh... I get @Verdict - he isn't about letting Tank go, but he's super worried about his price.
We want playmakers on every level of the D, but playmakers cost money. It's a tough situation.

I get the peeps saying he wore down, but was that him, or his injury, or him carrying that damn line all season?

He got 17 million last year, about what he deserved for his play... has no reason to whine about money... he's got plenty of it compared to the average guy... sad that money has become such a big part of football talk...

When Lawrence played on the tag, he was taking a huge risk. That money was not guaranteed against injury. Let's say he got hurt in week three and missed the rest of the year. That would have cost him around $14 million.

And on top of that he would have been entering this offseason as damaged goods and would not get the kind of money he would have otherwise. Lawrence played "good soldier" for the Cowboys and it worked out for him.

I agree with you that the money thing in sports is sad, but let's try to look at this from Lawrence's perspective. He does the same thing guys like Khalil Mack and Olivier Vernon do and should get paid as much as they do, too.
