This has been a great off-season so far.

It has not been perfect, but when you factor in the deals that are completely cheap and relatively risk-free, it has been pretty remarkable after a slow start.

Merge if ye must. First time I'd seen what we were giving up. 2020 6th is pretty dang good.

Confirmed on DC.com, 6'th round 2020 pick and reworking the last year of the contract to reduce cap hit

For all the smack talked about the front office I have to give them much credit for not caving in on this one like they used to (i.e. Roy Williams, Galloway,etc.)

With all the "going to visit the Saints" talk and "we might just keep him" b.s. they actually stood their ground and gave up minimal compensation.

Although I hope he's not damaged goods. Alonzo Highsmith comes to mind, although losing next year's 6th rounder isn't too much to gamble on. Remember Charles Haley had a bad back too and he did ok.

Props to the front office!
:clap:

The Cowboys pulled off a Howie Roseman!

The fins didn’t get fleeced. This is a win-win deal. The fins get rid of a big contract and gain a 6th round pick. They were going to get rid of Quinn either way. It’s a good deal for us too because it’s a one year deal. This is a good two way trade.

Plus, Miami is tanking for Tua. If Quinn was going to be gone after 2019 anyway, then just get rid of him earlier, put a sucky DE in, and lose more games.

I am waiting for the catch. Seems like there has to be.

If we manage to get Dlaw signed this front office has delivered a stellar off season.

So a pay cut presumably since it’s a new deal and a 2020 6th. That’s pretty damn good and very minimal risk.

I wish they could make it a 2 year deal, so we're not back in the same boat in 2020 with a hole at starting RDE.

Now who's down for trying to work a trade with the Bucs for Gerald McCoy? They are thinking of moving on. I wonder if they'd take a 5th round pick and he'd agree to a re-worked deal?

How much of his salary are the fins going to pay?.......Our wheeler dealer GM might of talked them out of that part.

Last year of the contract being re-worked to reduce the cap hit, whatever that means. Two year deal maybe

Either that or he was caught on video doing something vile. Or gets popped for steroids.

@Cowboys22 whats up bro? Keep the faith!

I don't care if we paid extra cash above and beyond if it doesn't hit the cap.

What will his cap hit be?

I assume it's about 8-9 mil

This makes the loss of Gregory not so bad but we still have Tank to deal with. He says no surgery until he gets a long term deal, won't even consider signing the franchise tag. DWare, please come out of retirement, sign a one year deal and save us.

Tier 2 is the real sweet spot of FA. Thats where you can find reasonably priced production. You still have to be willing to pay decent money, but you aren't paying All Pro, Pro Bowl contracts to players there old team didnt deem important enough to lock up.

We arent there to where we are working tier 2. But this offseason was progess
