DE Robert Quinn will be a free agent next year in 2020

[Northern_Cowboy]

Just say if Quinn continues to have a banner year for us in his ony starting year here with the Cowboys
ad he collects 15 sacks en route to All star honors (ala Pro bowl, etc) being that
DE Robert Quinn will be a free agent next year in 2020, he will maximize his prove -it -year and
set the stage on the FA market .....to the highest bidder.

Franchise Tag him ? if Cowboys do not re-sign Dak, that franchise tag would have to be made available for the franchise QB ..so but what of Quinn, Cooper and Byron Jones ?

and we are due plenty of cap amount in 2020 (55 million ?)

i know its so early and he just came off a (controversial) 2 game suspension, but it's looking so promising
for Quinn and what he can do for our much needed pass rush.

You can not franchise him he will be UFA the same as he was when the Cowboys signed him

 

[DogFace]

All I know is he looks extremely fast. Modern “meds” are the **it!

Every play I focus on him he’s beating his man. He will soon free up D-law. So far he looks better than D-law last year.

3 in two games and many more pressures.

At max I would offer 12-15 mil per year if that was the case. If not, hopefully Gregory can be reinstated and go to the draft again but leave Rod at home.

This is why I was against signing Elliott for big money. Guys like Quinn and Jones might be the casualties.

I was getting comfortable with the concept of Jones being let walk but after seeing Awuzie and Brown thus far? Wow, you let Jones go and the CB position is a big need IMO.

They are only "casualties" if the Cowboys view them as such. If they really want to keep them, they will manage a way to do so.

- I can never recall a time where The Jones have allowed their own UFA's that they really wanted to keep to walk free into the FA market.

They are the CORE guys that they build their offense ..or defense around , those are the guys that will definitely be the guys they re-sign.
and again this is not a team that is in the red in terms of cap dollar space. in fact they will be one of the teams that are in better amount and flexibility in that area.

- A decision is going to be made on WR Randall Cobb who is on a 1 year contract deal. How much will the team would want to invest in him to re-sign him again.

What is going to be heavily discussed among the team, is the CORE guys vs solid/decent types. and how do they view Byron Jones. Core/elite or solid type ?
If they view him as Demarco Murray solid/productive but not elite – he wont be offered elite status big money, imo.

if Cowboys see Byron as only a 2nd tier CB,.. not a top paid CB,..not elite level, then that's where they gamble in giving him a 2nd tier take it or leave it offer ..but not top 5 CB contract.
If they do see him as top 5 type , he will paid accordingly as such.

But I frankly do not believe in committing and overpaying for a player because i'm so worried about not covering the bases on the position period. That's panic fire.
and we'll have to see come FA time.

It’s all about how they view a Byron Jones.
And keep in mind, many of us thought Lael Collins was gonna be allowed to walk into FA, before a surprise re-signing long term contract.

Jerry , Pay the guy, give him a 100 million dollar contract ...

Quinn , Once you get paid , Don't worry about being held accountable .


This is dallas baby !

LLLOOOLLL, BOB, BOB, BOB!

 

[John813]

Lol... Gregory

I hear ya. Have zero confidence in him. Just saying there's a chance, unlikely as it is. Especially if Quinn walks, Gregory is our only end that can come close what Quinn currently offers.

the Cowboys never signed Quinn on as an UFA, he was acquired here in a trade for a 6th rd pick per Dolphins

In terms of athletic explosiveness in regards to Gregory, I quite agree.

But his issues with his medical health and addiction substance is proving too much an obstacle to have to rely on Gregory. And i'm not sure about his current contract status.
But the likelihood is, the Cowboys will attempt to re-sign Quinn to finish out his NFL career here. They will want a reliable cornerstone here.

If they cannot secure Quinn long term, DE again will be a high target in the draft in the early rounds, I really believe. (among other things)

 

[TexasHillbilly]

After Elliott DeMarcus and Jaylon performance this year's I'm not in favor of giving anybody a big contract. Let other teams let them get their early retirement checks.

Dear goodness, we have only played 4 games. How about the fan base make a decision (which by the way, amounts to a hill of beans) after say, 14 games.

 

[JoeKing]

I think he would walk because we couldn't afford.

I think this guy just shows up and rushes the passer for whoever offers the most money. I just get that vibe from him.

I get the vibe you aren't aware of all the options the FO has that enables it to afford much more than you know. First, keep in mind the salary cap ceiling gets higher every season plus 2020 being the last year in the current CBA will afford the FO to do things salary-wise that they would not normally be able to do.

I agree with you on your assessment of Quinn. He is what I call a mercenary. I'm thinking he is part of Stephen Jones' and Will McClay's long term plans for this defense. Stephen Jones has become a wizard when it comes to working within the framework of the NFL's salary cap system. I believe Stephen will find a way to fit Quinn's "blood money" into our budget.

I have no evidence to prove what I'm saying is true, it's just a hunch. Him walking to a higher bidder next season is a real possibility.

Just say if Quinn continues to have a banner year for us in his ony starting year here with the Cowboys
ad he collects 15 sacks en route to All star honors (ala Pro bowl, etc) being that
DE Robert Quinn will be a free agent next year in 2020, he will maximize his prove -it -year and
set the stage on the FA market .....to the highest bidder.

Franchise Tag him ? if Cowboys do not re-sign Dak, that franchise tag would have to be made available for the franchise QB ..so but what of Quinn, Cooper and Byron Jones ?

and we are due plenty of cap amount in 2020 (55 million ?)

i know its so early and he just came off a (controversial) 2 game suspension, but it's looking so promising
for Quinn and what he can do for our much needed pass rush.

He's 29......9th season......, he's not looking at more than a 2-3 years deal with 1 year gauranteed IF he continues playing at this level. I hope we keep him. He's one of these guys whose been double teamed his whole life and is now been afforded the opportunity to go one-on-one (thanx to DLAW) ...... and is thriving.

Don’t worry about it, the salary cap is a myth. We just gave an Ewok the second most money ever for a RB and still have to pay Dak and Cooper. Good thing DE’s are a dime a dozen like RB’s. If he’s smart, he’ll take a seat with Dak and Coop until he gets paid or goes to another team. Jerry already set the precedent with Zeke, the rest just have to follow. Sit and get paid.

I'm more worried about the Packers

A reason why I believe Quinn came so cheap in this trade was because of health concerns – primarily his previous back issues that caused his decline in production with the Rams.
And I dunno how much figured into the Fins going to a 3-4 scheme that didn’t seem to suit quinn play either.

For a player that once compiled 19 sacks in a single season (with the Rams) it’s amazing how we acquired him so cheaply.
Cowboys obviously did their due diligence with his character and medical issue. And it was clearly a low risk/high reward that seems to have paid off big time in the early goings.

Imo, contrary to opinions I don’t think Dlaw has anything to do with the success coming from Quinn.
Law not getting double team near as much as people want to give the excuse as such.
What I do believe is out of the gate for the season.. Dlaw seems to have been slowed by lengthy recovery and long layoff, to hopefully there isn’t any lingering effect from post surgery and it doesn’t help
And a very recent bone bruise injury to his leg is making matters more difficult.

But what I’m hoping to see is as the season goes on to this 5th game is , DLaw gradually seems to getting a bit more effective in getting off one on one blocks and he’s showing up
a bit more into the backfield, not quite yet there in ’18 form

 

[kevm3]

Just wrap him up. We've already played that lame 'wait and see' approach numerous times and lost just about every time because we keep ending up paying our talent record contracts.

 

[JohnsKey19]

At max I would offer 12-15 mil per year if that was the case. If not, hopefully Gregory can be reinstated and go to the draft again but leave Rod at home.

Can't rely on Randy at all. I'd try to lock Quinn up now if he's willing. His speed and bend should be good for at least another 3 seasons. If not Quinn, we are left with Marinelli picking another DL early in the draft. Yeah, good luck with that...

 

[J-man]

Early extension?

 

[Reverend Conehead]

Maybe they should go ahead and sign him for another year.

Quinn > Lawrence
