Twitter: Archer: Kony Ealy Contract Details

[Sydla]

Basically this tells me he's a camp body that could easily get cut if say a guy like Tapper surprises and performs well in camp (yes, I get that is unlikely) or maybe they draft someone and he's a monster.

He's a 4-5 sack guy, which is fine. I have no issues if he makes the roster. He's not an awful depth guy at DE.

Wish they had added a 2nd team option year......hard to see him walk if he gets 10-12 sacks.

Don't worry. If he gets 12 sacks, Jerry will lock him up for the next 7 years.

I would to but I'm sure his agent didn't want to do it. I assume Cowboys would have had to put up a lot more to get that option.

You probably right.....would've cost a lot more

Another very shrewd financial contract for the Cowboys. If they've identified correctly and half of these signings can play, they've had a very good free agency with what they've done.

thats the rub. They have handed out many shrewd contracts in FA last few years. They just don't hit on anyone. The question becomes: If they miss again on the group collectively...who bears responsibility and is their job on line?

Got him on the cheap, but I have to believe the market for him was narrow and shallow.

In the past, the Director of Pro Scouting was yet another undeserving Garrett - Judd.

Within the past year, he was "reassigned" to Soecial Projects, rather than being deservedly fired outright.

It's now being handled by Alex Loomis, the son of Saints GM Mickey Loomis. Hopefully, we will begin to see better results based on this change.

Does this pave the way to cut Ty Crawford, who's been playing out of position at RDE? Ealy is just as good of a run defender and better outside pass rusher.

 

[Bullflop]

That Ealy contract sounds to me like a fair contract for both parties.

Here's hoping Ealy and the Cowboys both see extraordinary results.

Why wouldn't it pave the way for moving him back inside to the 3T where he belongs?

Thought you guys were Boise

And cap room next year to lock them up.

He is an upgrade over Mayowa. He also fits better in this scheme than he did in NY. Good depth signing and he should be a solid rotational player. The contract is incentive laden and he will be motivated to prove his value since he's back on the open market in 2019.

He's never had more than 5 sacks in a season, has 15 total in 4 years having played in just about every game over that period.

The fear that he might get to 12 sacks and we might lose him is probably a waste of a good fear.

 

[CF74]

Here’s to hoping he has a “Breakout Year” with 10+ sacks...

That's an option too. I am Boise, but I also like salary cap space!

 

[cowboy_ron]

Good deal for the Cowboys.

VERY good deal.

 

[xwalker]

(I assume) 46 man roster bonuses are ltbe (active for 15 games in 2017)

Considering they paid Kyle Wilber about 1.75M per the past couple of years and they paid Byron Bell 2M last year, this seems like a good deal.

 

[SoupcanSam]

Honestly surprised he agreed to that

Chalk that up as a win for the Joneses

I'd Like to see what anyone else offered because he choose that for a reason.

 

[Aviano90]

Good job, Jerry!
