Calvin Watkins mentioned that a deal would take longer because team docs need to check out the knee. We probably won't hear anything until tomorrow.

What's the hurry? No other team out there is rushing to sign him. Let's take our time. I don't want another Spencer who can't play. Compare Melton to Jared Allen and factor in the money and whether Melton can recover from the torn ACL.

Don't worry, things are posted here within seconds of happening and they will be in the Melton thread.

I'm really not sure which way I'm leaning on this. I feel like we've got to be the most motivated team to sign him. With the perfect fit he'd represent on our D, the way our DL has been wiped clean the last 8 months, the Marinelli and hometown connection... I think our intention is to 100% get this done.

Problem is there are simply teams out there that can outbid us. It's gonna be close.

He is a good fit for this defense, and I think Marinelli can be creative in how he uses Melton... if we get him, that is.

Unless his demands are just crazy, I think we have a real good shot of landing him. Then, even if it is a 3-tech, I still think they get another DT in the draft and Marinelli will have much better players up front this year.

I haven't heard about any other stops on his tour, so THAT has to be a good sign, right? when he was going to seattle, we all knew he had a Dallas visit scheduled

He's been in Minnesota and Seattle and there was a report this morning that despite his visit to Dallas, he's in touch with multiple teams (including Minny, who just had a starting DT signed away this afternoon). The competition is real for Melton.

Add me to Team Anxiety. I would like to see this guy remain in Dallas with a deal that doesn't break the bank. Some on the board had speculated 5 yrs 50 million. I think we come in far below that deal. Remaining optimistic and combing twitter harder than WG on a rainy day.

Last thing I have seen is someone whining to Broaddus it is taking too long and he replies "part of the business".

That's over paying imo
