If Trevon gets even half of the INT's he got last season combined with the improvement you would expect from a young CB then, yes, he will attempt to be the highest paid CB. Even worse, I fully expect him to hold out before the 2023 season if he has another All Pro season.

The salary structures in the NFL needs to be amended, there is such an uneven distribution of available cap money throughout the entire NFL. I thought the contract inequalities would have corrected itself by now. You have something like the top 10% making half the cap money and there really isn't that wide of a separation in talent and productivity compared to the next tier of players at that position.

Should the "best" player at his position make five times as much as others ranked around the 5th to 8th best at their position? Of, course, I'm not using an exact example but I'm sure everyone gets my meaning.

- He won't hold out long before season starts as he'll be franchise tagged before an eventual deal with get done ..maybe same year playing with the tag, ... or being re-signed the following offseason.

- But while Stephen does not believe in signing outside vet- middle ground FA's .. he is and will commit to re-signing what he considers his own star-core players ..and Diggs and Micah will
be his priority re-signings

- Seeing what the Rams did despite supposedly up against red in cap space ,i'm not tripping with sizaable contracts,.. people trip too much in this sense.

Quinn had 18 sacks last yr . Not bad . Was sorry to see him leave to begin with . Having said that I would send a 4th nothing more.

Jerry was obviously joking when he said Taco was Stephen's pick.

Jerry is also on record saying he decided not to resign Gregory. He did. Not his fat secretary of a son.

The Stephen runs the team nonsense isn't any more intelligent than the Stephen is our savior in waiting fake news of years ago.

If Dan Quinn had known that they would draft Sam Williams and sign Fowler, I don't think he would have wanted to re-sign Gregory.

Conspiracy Theory:
- I don't think Stephen Jones wanted to re-sign Gregory.
- SJ knew that Gregory was a favorite of Jerry; therefore, SJ intentionally irritated Gregory and his agent.
- That made it appear to Jerry that Gregory made the decision to leave.

Are birds real? I heard birds aren't real. Are we real? I feel real..too real

I don't believe you. Is this based off an insider's intel or reported on by a newspaper or network?

No? Hows you know? Who yous know? So then it's just a hunch?

No. We already have similar type players in Dante Fowler and Dorance Armstrong. Besides, Sam Williams needs lots of playing time to develop.

And ... we spent on DLaw and have our best edge rusher is Parsons.

We've got plenty of DEs. An old situational pass rusher for 8 figures is not what we need.

A DT who could get sacks would be arguable. Not another edge rusher.

Yes. I had a hunch that I watched Jerry stating the fact.

I honestly have no time for you Stephen runs the team geniuses.

5th rounder, heck yes. You can never have enough pass rushers. Especially in Quinn’s defenses.

Cut him after this year and no damage to the salary cap. No brainer.

Of course Jerry runs the team.

My question is why would we trade for Quinn when we already have Dante Fowler.

Very similar players.

I wouldn't trade for a 1-year rental, but their productivity doesn't look all that similar. One guy had 18.5 sacks last year, and the other has 19 sacks over the past 3 years.

You honestly do have time. No need to lie, no hot shots here despite any convictions those may have otherwise. We're on a forum about a game. You have time, I have time..so.. let's keep this going...what were we farting on about again?

Quinn is worth the rental IMO. Just a damn good player, and he's nowhere close to done.

Quinn is a smart man. Coming off 18,.5 sacks at his age he needs to get more money GTD and fast.
That is his entire play here.

DAL wants no part of any of that.
If someone in DAL got hurt maybe but still likely not tbh because Quinn wants those guarantees. DAL def isn't doing that.

Stephen doesn't wipe his own behind unless he clears it with Jerry first.

That's interesting. I didn't know. I was thinking the Quinn we had in 2019. But I'm impressed. When I see Fowler, he reminds me of Quinn. Maybe Fowler is a little bigger, but I see them as similar types of players. If you look at Quinn's stats, he also began sort of inconsistent like Fowler. In 2011, he had 5.0 sacks, then in '12 he had 10.5, then 19.0 sacks in 2013, then his numbers fell to 10.5 sacks in 2014, 5.0 sacks in 2015, 4.0 sacks in '16, 8.5 sacks in 2017, 6.5 in 2018 to 11.5 in 2019.

Interesting fact: Quinn only registered 2.0 sacks during his first year playing in Chicago during 2020.

On a different note, it would be kind of interesting to have even more athleticism on defense.

I'm not the defensive coordinator, but I would like to have players who can stop the run and play the pass. We need more of those guys. That's why Quinn gives me pause. He's similar to Fowler, I think. Our guys on the interior we have now like Gholston, Gallimore, Odighizuwa, Armstrong and Tanks are good players for all downs. For pash rush, if those guys come in heavier and stronger like they said they were, then we have Parsons, the wild-card Sam Williams, and the unknown factor with Dante Fowler, who I think can actually have a big year with the Cowboys working with Dan Quinn.

I would really like to see us improve the safety position, somehow, as well as back up quarterback, as well as center, via free agency without a trade. But I'm willing to trade if it really makes us better. However, I wouldn't give up too much draft capital in any trade. That would be stupid, for the Cowboys, since we draft better than most teams, it would take away one edge we have on competition.

The Cowboys have seen Quinn before, so they know what he can do. I still don't see him as a dominant player overall player, year after year.

But I isn't dumb: I would certainly trade Conner McGovern for Robert Quinn.

Contrary to what the media is pushing, I would not give up any picks unless it's a 7th and if Dan Quinn thought it was beneficial to bring in Robert Quinn over another player already on our roster.

Still, how many pass rushers can we have on the field at once?

We would have the personnel to run really strong, and athletic defensive fronts where we could move Parsons, Williams, Fowler, Quinn around, often times as linebackers because they all have enough speed to play LB and DE.

I don't know, though. Personally, I think Fowler can do similar things as Quinn even though Quinn is technically an outside LB and Quinn is a DE.

I think Quinn may be toxic, though. He's pulling dramatics in Chicago for not getting his way after his 18.5 sack season.
