Why Collins all of a sudden long term deal?

[blumayne38]

Did zeke have anything to do with this? Did he demand that la'el be paid now? Just seems odd, did we expect collins to get a long term, like this instant? Before or just before zeke may get his multi year deal? Hmm I'm thinking zeke said something to the likes of "la'el needs to be paid, i feel comfortable running behind him." "If I'm gonna take any less then X, la'el needs to get paid." And so on so forth with demands that I can only imagine were said and denied or accepted by the Jones's...lol. Who knows

I think it was the opposite. It puts pressure on Zeke to sign now, since they are dishing out pieces of the pie.

Maybe it’s because he’s good.

Hmm, yup sounds about right. Well hopefully zeke gets the pen out. Or else by week 8 we are gonna be inking in maher for 5 years 50 million

It just kind of came out nowhere.

But its a solid deal. Below market value

It goes to show you that "insiders" really have no clue as to what is going on unless the Cowboys want you to know.

Most money guaranteed a right tackle in NFL history. Very bizarre signing. Pretty sure Collins is not one the top 10 right tackles in the NFL.

Now you're just being childish

 

[Mr Cowboy]

It cleared upwards of $6 million on the cap, helped clear the way for Zeke. they were praising Jerry and Stephen for doing this on NFL radio.

La’el is not good - he’s an average at best at RT. Watch how many times he gets beat to the outside. I’m setting the over under at 12.

Nice. Jerry is on a rolly. He can't do wrong in the media eyes right now. They hang off his every word.

Yeah but let’s be honest. Zeke, Cooper and Dak already have their pies. The piece of the pie everyone else is fighting for are the Byron Jones...

He aint that bad, hes been a complete steal

Nope!

Not any more!

 

[erod]

My gut is that Tyron is about to retire this year or next. They may draft his replacement for cheap.

Now you're just being silly. We don't sign good players to extensions.

Yeah, Zeke was negotiating for Collins.

 

[Corso]

Not any more!

Now it's a tread water deal. At least it's not a sinker.

Excuse me if I don’t take your word for it and instead believe in Will McClay and the scouting department.
