Here’s why we need Earl over any other Safety

Mobinvans · Mar 7, 2019

Interceptions....hes a Ball Hawk and Cowboys have NO ONE in the secondary who can make a play and catch the ball ( Jordan Lewis is a ball Hawk but they dont play him for whatever reason)

Landon Collins great in the box, not great in cover...we need a cover safety (ball hawk) desperatley with the corners we got

Earl is basically begging to be a Cowboy, how do you pass on that????

Its just not going to happen because Dallas will need to grossly over-pay for Tank & Dak. This doesn't even factor in Cooper & Zeke. You can make case the OL is over-paid. Dallas simply can't over-pay all over the place.

So we are gonna pay our crappy QB who ranks out at about 20 in the league 28 million a year but cant pay the best Safety in the NFL 13 Million?

Earl Thomas almost single handedly destroyed us last year in one game

At this point you might as well root for a different team.

This just in, every NFL player outside Tom Brady is overpaid.

When healthy, he's the best free safety in the NFL. He changes EVERYTHING.

He had two interceptions against Dallas last year, and he didn't play in the playoff game. That alone would have led our team for the season.

He's the most critical free agent of all to Dallas. It's Earl or bust for the 2019 season hopes.

How many games has ET missed due to injury over the last 2 years? I don't care how good a player is, if he can't stay on the field he can't help you win. . .

One, he's not "begging" to be a Cowboy. He wants paid, preferably by the Cowboys, but paid.

Two, in 19 games over the past 3 seasons he hasn't done anything because he missed the game entirely.

Zeke is not overpaid.

Obviously I was being facetious, subscribing to the thought process that the only thing worth paying for is winning.

When zeke gets his new deal and is the highest paid he still won’t be overpaid. When you’re the best at your position, you deserve it.

I guess the same can be said for Lee...

Start one of our back ups and sign Earl?

I would love to have Earl on this team but he is going to cost to much money. He has three red flags as well. He has had two leg injuries the last two years of playing, he is 30 years of age, and his best years are behind him.

Which Earl Thomas are you getting? You better know with a frontloaded contract.......

This just in, that's why you have to be very careful about who and how much you overpay.

Older players coming off injuries are riskier bets no matter how awesome they were for years before you signed them.

The key thing is, humans are no more likely to re break the bone than you or I.
Or anyone playing at any time.
This isn’t lees hamstrings, or acls.

This time he actually had screws and a plate inserted so technically he’s less likely to break it again than the average player.
It was freak injuries.

Tank will get traded so you don't have to worry about that albatross who will have shoulder surgery soon and never be the same again

Money, injuries, age. It's not rocket science.

We are thru signing Safetys after the ex gnat signing, they will go into the season thinking they are good now.
