LOL.

I get it. You are in defend the front office mode.
I am in “I don’t like to pay huge money to old safeties coming off of three season ending injuries in a row”, mode.

I’m only defending this move. I’m disappointed that they didn’t go after Collins or Amos, who would play SS. I like Woods and didn’t particularly want to spend huge on Thomas to bench Xavier.

For what it’s worth, I’d like the team to spend big on a couple of free agents like Amos. Young, talented and pro bowl quality.

So no, I’m not defending them although I do understand why they’re frugal. I just don’t come whine about it incessantly, saying the same thing over and over in each thread... like some people do.

They still have plenty of time to get some guys, so maybe they will. I’m glad they didn’t jump on Thomas.

One year is a lot when you’re talking about His pro bowl skills lasting only another two to three years.

They probably had an extension worked out for him last year if they really did try to trade for him. Likely less than he got on the open market.

Yeah but it didn't matter. When they traded for him they were still going to give him a contract this year. That point is moot. Unless you are insinuating they wanted him as a one year rental?IT makes no sense.
HE wanted even more money last year.

Can’t wait to see the parade for the cap space trophy we win at the end of the year. It will be glorious

Jokes on you fool........... there will be no cap space trophy since we are using it to sign our crappy FB to a three year deal.

I’m not even sure why I am hurt. This was expected of Dallas. No expectations are the best expectations for this team as long as Jerry Jones is in charge.

I'm looking at it as a player .
I don't wanna play for a team that's not all in to win.

um, the ravens are "all in to win" for you?
have you seen what's happened to that defense?
have you seen that offense?

Because as a fan, deep down, you want to believe they finally have figured this thing out.

It's what makes us fans........... being complete and total suckers.

He's the best safety in football. He wasn't overpaid.

Coming off another injury two years straight. You better believe he was overpaid. But that's the name of the game. You want to play this free agency game you better overpay. I wouldn't pay it but I have no problem paying it especially in a win now mode.
