no he wouldn't! Not if we are offering 8 million a year and he just got 14.
So you're admitting I'm right that he didn't actually want to come here, he just wanted the most money regardless of who or where it came from. Thanks for being so agreeable. Cool, cool, cool.

I’m not TELLING anyone how to react so much as reacting to the ENDLESS unhappiness that has infected everything. It’s old and boring and lacks imagination. This is a game, a diversion, a hobby. It’s SUPPOSED TO BE fun! It’s not OUR livelihood, we’re bystanders!

Nobody is saying it is. Don't push a false narrative as an excuse for you trying to telling anyone else the right way to behave or react.

Good

Now that this is over It should be a “ban” if anyone else even brings up earl thomas
The people who run this board will get right on that when they take their hands out of their pants looking at all the free agents other teams are signing.

Dallas fans pitching hissy fits about us losing out drives traffic and discussion. It's what message board people get excited about.

I admit I wasn't as sold on ET as a lot of people were but I also admit this is pretty embarrassing

Dallas could have lived with that contract and he would have been a big help to our young defense and helped in more ways than just his play. Cowboys have become cheap and honestly its pretty pathetic.

If the Cowboys over paid and got Thomas which of Lawrence, Elliott, Cooper, Jones and Prescott are you willing to not get resigned because of over paying an older injury prone safety. Now before the same group jump on Prescott remember no 1st round pick so no QB to draft and that leaves Cooper Rush or Mike White. Don't say trade because again no 1st rnd pick so that leaves what group of players are you then willing to give up to make that trade. The smartest thing the Cowboys have done thus far was to pass on Thomas.

Everyone glad to see ET sign elsewhere will be the same dudes on here complaining how awful our saftey are and how Jeff heath should be on the bench

My personal amusement stems from a year of threads about ET dying to play for the Cowboys while some of us knew all along the dude wanted paid, first and foremost.

If he stays healthy and plays at the level he did in the past he may be worth that contract. If not...

Well, guess they will have plenty of cap space now to re-sign Tank. It doesn’t appear they are going to be shopping outside of the bargain bin again this year.

Moderating is a side gig for me. Personally, it would not be practical going 24 hours straight banning an average of 5 to 10 members an hour. Glad you are kidding because that sounds like WAY too much work.

Lawrence, because he only showed up for 8 games. And if he wants BIG money for that...then give me that old, washed up, terrible has-been safety who had 2 INTs against us last season, who has chemistry with Richard and can lead a secondary.

I would have loved to see him with the star, he is a play-making safety , straight baller you have to account for on the backend. But it is what is, time to move on.

I like Jeff heath but you’re not serious about winning if he continues to start
