Fish: Byron Jones likely gets squeezed out

[Hawkeye0202]

Hate to say it but I agree.....probably out of our price range. Don't be surprised to see CB with one of our top 3 picks.

 

[Corso]

Huh... I thought he was up next year.

 

[Bowdown27]

I know they stated we want to resign all of our main cogs but this could be right. We will see

 

[gmoney112]

Squeezed out? There is no squeezing. The cap is fine with Byron's money.

And if we let a true #1 go, who's an ironman and 99% percentile athlete at the position while never missing games, for $14million, we'd be stupid. Really stupid.

He's the one on my list as well.

Can't pay everybody and I think he's at the bottom.

A fine player, but not a 'must have'.

 

[Risen Star]

That's what I figured. You can't pay everyone and he's probably the guy they won't pay.

 

[Hardline]

There's got to be a way to start paying a certain amount of these players under the table and off the cap.

 

[JayFord]

Are the cowboys poor?

 

[QuincyCarterEra]

If we let Byron walk in place of Zeke I'll start bashing the front office like everyone else.

 

[charron]

Trade him. Or just sign him. We can make room for 14/ year.

 

[gmoney112]

We actually can pay all our own dudes. I know, it's hard to imagine. First time in a while we can say that, but we can do it and we don't need any fancing cap accounting structures either.

We could pay Dak, Amari, DLaw, and Byron $30million/year and still be under the cap in 2020. Haha.

Because, Byron's deal wouldn't hit the cap until next year.

Just for example, if we paid (in 2020)

Dak: 30mill
DLaw: 25mill
Amari: 20mill
Byron: 20 mill

We'd still be about $30mill under in 2020 with no other cuts, releases, etc.

Byron won't get more than $15mill a year, so it's a no brainer really. I'm not sure what this "squeezing" is all about.

LOL....get your horn ready coz seriously doubt FO see him as valuable as Zeke.

At the end of the day $14m is the same with the Cowboys or the Commanders, really does not matter where it comes from when the career lifespan is so short. Get what u can baby and then call it a day...

this is quite a bit premature and off base to boot

this is a 2020 discussion

Yeah I don’t know why they keep talking about someone getting squeezed out because of money. You can’t be cheap and not sign free agents. One has to give.

Thank you for the confirmation, my erudite colleague.
Your word is enough for me.

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

If the Cowboys are smart they will trade him and get a draft pick out of it.

 

[rags747]

We didn’t win with the above 4 in 2018, what makes everyone think that we will win with those 4 in 2019, Bigger contracts will make them more clutch?

If you think those four were the problem, you are sorely mistaken.

 

[Rayman70]

That's what I figured. You can't pay everyone and he's probably the guy they won't pay.

^^^LOGIC^^^ Folks on here seem to think we will sign everyone. The math says otherwise.
