Just give me a small piece of the delicious pie and then we are square.

Thank you.

Find a way to sign Cooper and Dak and I'm not too worried about anyone else.

 

[Outlaw Heroes]

I don't think either Dak or Coop will view this as a credible threat at this point. So you're going to let your QB1 or your WR1 walk because there's not enough pie to give them what they want but you just signed a RT that you were in a position to replace next season? Uh huh.

 

[CouchCoach]

Lord Byron, you listening?

 

[Blackthorn]

Jerry needs to get M Collins, A Woods, Brown and Jones signed ASAP. They don't need to break the bank with them but compensate them before they can test free agency. Sorta of like they did Jeff Heath a few years ago. Then sign Dak.

Dallas needs to get everyone signed before Zeke. Zeke has one year, an option year and a couple of franchise tags left on his deal. The team should focus on the players that actually aren't an on-going distraction.

I just don't understand the La'El Collins deal. Why shrink the pie for him?

I’m pretty sure they have it figured out. They wouldn’t have signed him if they couldn’t keep who they wanted to keep.

They’ve done well keeping the guys they want and letting the others walk.

Lord Byron, you listening?

We’ll probably be looking DB early and often in the next draft.

a new era of contract negotiations evolving right before our eyes. I like it.

Yeah... that's not happening.

The guy is 323lbs. One slice of pie wont do it.

Because he is a heck'uv a better player than you give him credit for. I am for one love the way he plays. The dude is a stud with power and speed. One of the best RT in the game. Remember Free? He and Martin explode the line on running plays. On pass plays he is often overloaded with several players and gets blamed for stuff he has no control over. Great move by the cowboys. Go Dallas!!!

La'El knew he could get more in free agency. However, he wanted to stay in Dallas. The team stood behind him when he fell during the draft. They gave him a small extension 2 years ago and now they signed him for 5 more. I applaud Collins for his loyalty to the team and fan-base. This is refreshing to see in this greed filled era.

You are not worried about Byron or Woods or Malik Collins or Gallup?

One of the 10 best maybe, not 5.

Not really, no. Their contracts won’t break the bank and, in any event, they are replaceable.

They sure are signing some good players.

 

[JReed1000]

SMH...all the signings so far and the Big 3 still aren't done. Reason: because Jerry doesn't want to set the Market value for the Alpha Players. Mr. Jones....with revenue going up next year you better believe those players and Agents aren't about to give you a hometown discount...Billionaire.

That's how things were done in the Romo era.

Pay a bunch of offensive guys and look for scraps on defense, then complain about the QB when the offense can't put up 40.
