Signed by Cowboys Armstrong signed. 2yrs 13mil

They did that. His name is Demarcus Lawrence, and he is top of the league in pressures

I think we were looking for a replacement at the same quality as Gregory.

Josh Sweat got got 3yrs 40m for a 6 sack season. What is wrong with this contract coming off of 5?

I think this is where fans get too caught up in statistics. There are players who are disruptive even if their sack numbers are not that high. Gregory got the contract he did because he creates problems for the offense where they sometimes have to block him with an extra player or he forces an early throw with his pressure or his rush creates an opportunity for another player to get pressure. Armstrong doesn't do that near as much. He got five sacks, but he wasn't as disruptive.

Blue light special and Stephen Jones should be one name.

Good for him, but we need to see that garuanteed money in this contract - not the funny money.

Probably somewhere around 8 million garuanteed .

Broadus went into one of his assessments last week sometime comparing Armstrong to Gregory.

He laid claim to Armstrong had 5 sacks and Gregory had six. It took another one of the microphone experts to suggest Armstrong couldn't get on the field most of the season. I have not vetted this, but Armstrong has never been impressive as far as I can remember. For offensive linemen, never hearing their name is a good thing. For defensive linemen it is the opposite.

You're not wrong, but the bottom line is Armstrong had five sacks while starting half the games Gregory did, who had six. I know stats often lie, but this one is interesting at least.

just the fact it's a 2 year deal for one of our own, tells me that they aren't even sure about the player

Blue light special and Stephen Jones should all be one name.

yes and look at what they got paid that’s my point. we’re bickering over 6.5m for a young player coming off of a good season.

a rookie is not going to give you that unless it’s a first round pick

They are in wikapedia

Game. Set. Match

Cowboys philosophy- let the good players walk and resign the easily replaceable depth players.

amazing we can’t win playoff games

He's played 500 snaps for the first time in 2021 and his sack and presser% production improved....he's 24. What are you expecting?

 

[Rogerthat12]

I mean, can it get any worse?

Yes, don’t underestimate the wonder twins…

if indeed they are sold on the player, more than 2 years is what I would expect

Amazing we won 12 games last year
Course the NFC least helps.

 

[CowboyChris]

can't wait to see Micah's excitement on Twitter after this signing.

 

[bleachedwheat]

if they're done in FA for End I will be mad don't want to draft an end, better talent at other positions up top the best ends will be gone by 20

It's basically the same deal they gave Tarell Basham last year I think.

 

[KJJ]

So 6.5 per. for a backup DE.

As of right now he’s probably our starter. The downgrades continue.
