Signed by Cowboys Boys working deal with DE Benson Mayowa - *Signs Offer Sheet*

Great Thread. I can't stop laughing with some of the wonderful insight.

This may be the worst franchise move since giving up 2 first rounders for Joey Galloway . Not financially but just head scratching .

 

[reddyuta]

He'd be the same here more than likely. The Raiders will match if they think he has a future. The Raiders naturally know more about his potential than anyone else.

not sure about that.we have one sort of proven player in Dlaw but he just had a major back surgery.the rest are nobody's including Gregory who has done so far but smoke so much pot that he failed 4 drug tests.

 

[KingintheNorth]

You seriously can't make this stuff up.

Spent the first week of free agency being financially conservative, passing on veterans who were just too expensive.

Then blow $9 million on a 248-pound pass rushing defensive end with almost zero sacks.


Weird, weird stuff.

Well, Mayowa has a hell of a SPARQ rating.

So does Gregory, but he spells it with a K.

he is over a million more expensive than Long,the scouts better be right here.

 

[KingintheNorth]

Guys, he backed up Khalil Mack. You know he learned something.

 

[Floatyworm]

So, I don't feel like going through 20+ pages, so can someone tell me, why a guy with just 1 sack in each of the last two seasons is worth roughly 3 million? And if he is, why the Raiders, with infinite cap space won't match?

Dude...University of Idaho pee fragrance isn't cheap. Chases most rats, cats and bats away. I'm starting to think the new place has a rodent problem that Jerry isn't disclosing...Hence why he hangs out @ the bus so often.

 

[Manwiththeplan]

I really really hope they match.

If they don't, that means this guy is pointing and laughing at us:

doesn't matter...31 teams will be laughing at us when pass on Wentz and Goff only to watch Romo end the season on IR.

Jerry has done worse since then. Roy Williams WR comes to mind.

No, no. Stop right there. This isn't the end of the world.

This is nothing like that. Nor is it like the Roy Williams trade.

This is just a very very weird hiccup that we might all struggle to understand for a while.

It is called "A PROCESS".

Stephen: Well, we gave it our best shot but there's no way the Raiders are letting go of this kind of talent.

The Cowboys FO press conference for this alleged fodder will be classic if the Raiders retain him.

 

[Risen Star]

Mayowa looks like a very good athlete. That play he made chasing down the receiver 40 yards down the field showed that.

We shall see, but he now has what I like to call Jerry stank on him. That's when we reach for a player or sign someone way over their production and we're all told to wait and see and then it rarely works out. It's death to the player.

Travis Frederick might be the only one immune to this. He's like the Magic Johnson of Jerry stank. It's all caught up in his beard too and he's still unaffected by it. It's weird.

You'll read 20+ plus more pages and still not get a good answer.

Lol at least we all knew who Roy Williams was. Heck some of us were happy when we acquired him. No one has EVER heard of this guy and they are paying him 9 million dollars lol . This is odd . But yes the Roy Williams trade was worst . This is the 3rd worst move by Jerry jones .

 

[KingintheNorth]

I honestly don't know what is worse?

Getting beat on another free agent if they match....

or

Getting him for $9M.

Again, weirdest off-season I can think of. Years from now they might make a sequel to Moneyball from this off-season.

 

[Bleu Star]

We tendered Jeff heath, Nuff said

I would actually consider the Cowboys offseason a HUGE success if I no longer had to see that #38 with Heath on the back running around wistfully again next year.

#sad

We seem to have a thing for the Idaho area lately.

Between the Boise State thing and now Idaho (Toomer, Mayowa) and Wyoming (Nzeocha), I wonder what is going on.

Is there some up and coming scout assigned to that territory that has someone's ear?

It is becoming a real trend.

You mean like the 21 years of hiccups we've struggled to understand so far?
