So he’s getting that 2 million for 14 sacks for sure

This could be the steal transaction of the year.

Everything about his becoming a Cowboy screams feels good to me.

Actually 2 good to be true!!

This is unbelievable Contract.

Cowboys have had some practice put theee type of contracts.

While I am with you all in hoping he has an incredible year and resurrection....can we maybe not crown him a steal until he’s shown a little something in the regular season?

We don't need to wait for confirmation. We already know we're right.

I would sign him to a 3 year contract tomorrow.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

This great deal is so ... so irregular under Jerry.

Homers rejoyce! Great deal all around!

Shame we didn’t try to get two years out of him with this contract.

Love and hate one year deals. This very well could be a rental.

We either get first crack at resigning him, or he walks and we get a big, fat, juicy comp pick for him.

I think he gives us a huge discount for giving him a chance

I don’t see that but if he remains healthy and performs well I’d love for it to happen

 

[Swagger]

Good to see guys genuinely playing for the love of the game and being given a chance. Not all about the $$$...well not to everyone.

It will be interesting to see how they will split the RE snaps.With Mccoy out i expect Tank to slide inside with Smith playing LE on passing downs,

 

[ItzKelz]

Like stealing......

 

[MWH1967]

After 5 years you just have to get your foot in the door. Right?

Actually, I would flip that. Unless Smith drops a TON of weight in camp, he outweighs DLaw by almost 20 lbs.

I thought Smith was listed at 285?

Two nice comp picks for him and Griffin with Anae stepping in to fill the spot for three more years on a rookie deal. Could be a nice situation at DE. They could also resign one if the price is right. Giving Smith a chance and having patience with Griffin might pay off big time.
