Some of this is typical Cowboys homerism though......... because we didn't bring him back, he's clearly overpaid and not very good. But if we had signed Jones to an extension those same people would be praising the FO for bring back a key veteran.
Very very true.

Brace yourselves for all of the Fan Boys telling us all how that 2021 compensatory 3rd round pick will be sooooooo valuable.
Not sure what being a fan has to do with it but I’ll bite.

You think 3rd round picks suck?

We’ve had both hits and misses, but you can find decent players with a third round pick.

I wonder if he gave the Cowboys a chance to match.
I really didn't care if he stayed or if he went. He was good at covering but was not a game-changing CB. He never seemed to elevate his game in big games.

Dolphins gave him 82.5

Stephen wanted to take 2.5

They are welcome to him for that much of the cap.

He fits right in. Just kind of a half *** motor sunshine type of dude. Run away from tacklers, cover once in a while etc.
Sounds like you're a glass half full kind of guy. He's not Deion, but he's a Pro Bowl corner. Happy he didn't go to Eagles. Probably will be drafting a CB at 17 now.

I wish him well. If will be interesting to see if he begins intercepting a few passes. Something to keep an eye on.

Was Prime not one of, if not the top paid CBs as a Falcon? I'm willing to bet Byron is one of the highest paid CBs right now. My point stands.

Cornerback contracts. Your point does not "stand" because Byron Jones didn't blow up the market, you don't know what you're talking about. A player like Gilmore if he was due for a contract would most likely get "Dion" money.

This is $17 million a year, while he hit FA. Xavien Howard gets $15 million which he got without hitting FA. Trumaine Johnson sucks and is getting $14 million currently.

Stop exaggerating.

I just never saw greatness in him. I do think he can be exposed rather easily...teams just knew they had an even easier target on the other side in Awuzie

No one is exaggerating. I said one of the highest paid. How is that blowing up the market?

I said neither, meant neither. SMH
