Twitter: Cowboys Signing Aldon Smith to 1-yr/$4M Deal (must be reinstated first)

Flamma said:

It wouldn't make sense for him. I just wasn't sure how much leverage he has at the moment. Because I think it would have made sense for the Cowboys.

Sure, always in the best interest of the team to get people on non guaranteed contracts for as many years as possible

You are asking me as if we are discussing my choice. This is not what I would have done. As you well know, I am not on the same page as many in the organization, in terms of personnel. No, what I am telling you is that drafting a DL is helpful but it doesn't solve the immediate problem IMO. The choice of DL is what Stephen said the team will do.

You are confused.

Wasn't it you talking about the window and the need to draft a D-linemen because of it?

But as for Stephen, as you said, Stephen made that comment months ago, before signing McCoy and Poe. Surely you would allow that circumstances have changed since that comment.

Says the guy who's been here for like 10 minutes. Yeah, thanks for your input. I'll contemplate now.

If you have 52,000 messages as well thought out as your opinions in this thread, then that’s 52k messages where you were wasting peoples time.

How long a person has been here doesn’t have anything to do with their knowledge or the legitimacy of their opinions.

You could post 52k posts of fart jokes. Doesn’t mean you have any idea about the team or the league

Bridges, but not necessarily 1 year bridges. Or at least not in the case of McCoy. I don't know that I've definitively hear what kind of deal Poe will get. Seems like I've heard 1-2. In any case, I agree that doesn't prohibit signing a DT, but I don't think they will feel pressured to get one high in the draft if one they like isn't on the board when they pick.

With 1.5m 2021 guaranteed money now, looks like McCoy is designed for 2. Details aren't up on Poe yet. The contract is only 2 years.

We don't have to reach. Maybe they're even *planning* on standing pat to take another year to evaluate Hill.

Wonder if they're done with Woods. I'd consider it crazy, but it's weird that they haven't signed him yet.

You are making excuses for why Dez sucked after he signed his second contract putting it on everyone other than Dez. There is a reason he hasn’t been signed by another team.

I have heard how if we cut Dez he would be signed to a mega deal and we would rue the day! Well that hasn’t happened yet.

Teams have seen Dez’ workouts because they are being posted periodically. Yet no one has bitten yet. Why do you think that is?

We just SIGNED a guy and agreed to pay him real money who hasn’t even been reinstated yet based on the fact that he MIGHT play this year.

We haven’t done the same with Dez. What does that tell you? They either think he can’t play (most likley) or that he is a real problem (most likley) or both (even more likely). Follow the money trail. It will tell you who teams think can still can play and who cannot.

Look, I don't know what went on behind closed doors, but I do know a motivated and healed dez bryant could potentially be a great piece for a team. Remember, the Saints kicked the tires but he got hurt. You may very well be right and he is done, but knowing the type of competitor Dez is, and all he is gone through, I just not convinced that he is done. Dez Bryant is a very emotional guy, and I'm not sure that he hasn't gone through enough over the last few years to emotionally reset him. At this point I guess we will see whom is right. If Dez gets no offers then he is done in the NFL, but if someone gives him a chance and he is productive, that means I'm right.

Antwaun Woods is still under contract

Glazer also said Smith is absolutely shredded and at his playing weight now

I think it’s all about where his head is at and if he can maintain sobriety. The body should not be a problem

kwyn....oh wow ..shredded ?....Riser said Smith is all Will McClay....i know this might be pipe dream but imagine Smith and Gregory coming back and against all odds tearing it up?..the 11.5 sacks we lost in Quinn turns into 15-20 and Lawrence has another break out year?...these guys along with upgrading interior D line and imagine Dallas is 50+ sacks for 2020?...that would be nice...but of course all pipe dreams are nice in offseason

Hahaha, enjoy that feeling!

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.

Right now, we’re still “beggars” with this particular scenario but it’s fun to imagine what “could be”

Last I heard Woods was still ERFA w/o a new contract.

I was just going by what I saw on overthecap but I might have read it wrong. I don't see anything about the Cowboys picking up the tender.

I must have missed the news. Or spaced it. Good. He's RFA next year. Luv me sum bahgains, and we have him for next year too.

I would want Woods back, but wasn’t there an incident late last season? Maybe it was pot? If so, maybe not as big a deal anymore.

You're right. It was early December. What a tool. Pulled over going 77 with a lit joint and two mason jars of weed.

Lots of charges, one bogus one of tampering with evidence. He put out a joint in a bottle of water. It's not less evidence if it's not on fire.

Maybe we could get Casey Anthony to return punts

ABQCOWBOY said:

I don't agree. The goal is to win a championship. In two to three years, a guy you draft along the DL might, might, be ready to become an effective starter. However, by then, the window is closed and so the opportunity is gone. I mean, that's the whole point right? RDE is what we are really talking about here, is it not? We have young players at both DT positions in Woods, who has starting experience, and Hill who will hopefully develop into a starter. At RDE, the only real player we have who we can say has been on the team the last few seasons is Armstrong. Now I'm very hopeful that he turns the corner this season but to this point, he hasn't really show enough to get snaps so it's obviously a concern. This is the position we are talking about here. It's not DT.

That is the reality of maintaining a roster for a current NFL team. Most agree that the drafting elements are pretty good for Dallas, and has the addition of the current coaching staff for an upgrade.

Some teams are successful at doing just this type of adjustment and getting more effective, both in roster and in the cap. It does happen...

Me, I'm a Dallas fan. I won't substitute emotion and agenda for reasoning and support. That, in a final analysis, is crazy...not just sound basics.

First, you have not explained the dynamics involved at present, to declare why failure and not success is at work in the present. Things have changed that do affect the current progressions. I don't buy a stereotyped agenda, myself.

The defense, at the very least, has a potential to greatly expand play. The past excuses be damned, until logic can be proven wrong.

Such successes based upon selection and gambling has paid off grandly for the Cowboys, twice in their history, with dynasty like affects.

Leave out the my not understanding or your not chosen own stance as the negative. Prove your case now...

LOL... If I want to go there? Your there. If it's a waste of your time, as you see it, feel free to depart. Simply don't respond. See how easy that is. Don't come in here and try and tell me which way is up. I might have that conversation with somebody who has spent time on this board but you ain't that person.

How long a person has been on this board and how long I've known them has everything to do with the amount of BS I'll put up with. If you don't get that, well, that's on you but it ain't my problem. Figure it out.

I could post 52K of anything and I have, which is why you don't mean jack to me.

The problem here is clear. It's not the number of posts. It's the time you've been on this board and yet you think you know what people are or who they are. You don't. You are nobody to say anything about anything. Spend some time here and then maybe you can comment on posters but until then, what good are you? No good is the answer, so that we are clear.

I give less then two craps about your opinion, you don't rate in my book. Some posters could come in and say things you've said. I might not like them much, they might not like me but at least they have spent enough time on this board to know what the hell they are talking about, in terms of other posters. That's not you.
