Signed by Cowboys C. Thornton signs with Cowboys

[Vinnie2u]

I remember his family member posted here.

And you knew that had to be true because they said they were.

It was his Father.. Felt real bad for him

 

[Doc50]

Golden cock... that is difficult to get rid of.

Just requires the right antibiotics.

 

[Fredd]

Me, on my wedding day.

perhaps, but the groomsmen likely weren't happy about it "keep it away from me"

 

[Risen Star]

You expected me to bathe in the glory very long?

{With the fourth choice in the 2016 NFL draft, the Dallas Cowboys select, Carson Wentz, QB, North Dakota State}

Me: How on earth are we going to get his reps split so he can get experience???

I was listening to Philly sports radio a bit ago and the host was taking shots at Wentz, since Eagles fans now think they may get him at 8. Yeah, he looks great but it's inferior competition. He's being rushed by and throwing against lower level defensive linemen and secondary players.

That's true. But nobody ever mentions he's also has the same level of pass protection and receivers.

 

[DeaconBlues]

Church and Carr are in danger of being cap casualties. The Cowboys won't even have enough to sign their draft class after this signing. If they don't sign anyone else, they could probably get enough space to keep them and only do one more restructure. If they sign even a few minor deals, something is almost definitely going to be done with one of those two players contracts.

Not true. Depending on the contract structure, doubt more than 2.5 million against the cap this year. Dallas had over 10 million before restructuring Crawford.

Goodbye, Golden Cock.

Now that is optimism. Would be easier to get rid of this guy...

I'm pretty sure Thorton went undrafted and spent a year on the practice squad in Philly. He's a solid player that can play both tackle in a 4 man front, or defensive end in a 3-4.

He's a solid player that won't take over a game, but he won't hurt you either. I really like this guy.

And he got cut by Philly for some bum and resigned to the practice squad a second time.

 

[Risen Star]

Still like the guy?

 

[pgreptom]

Still like the guy?

Yes. That's called class.

LOL, that's just wrong, but I couldn't stop laughing at it.

I remember those threads, must have been brutal for him.

 

[Plankton]

I am very happy with the signing, but it is kind of amazing what qualifies as impressive for us these days.

I'm all about the hyperbole.

I like Thornton - he's a guy who can hold the point against a double team and even split the doubles and make plays against the inside run. He's not much of a pass rusher, but the DL is better with him on the roster.

They still have a lot of holes to fill, but this is a good signing that fixes a problem spot on the D line.

Everything I have seen had it just under 10M.

 

[Alexander]

Yes. That's called class.

I would have preferred a middle finger and enjoy your new spaz DC that did not want me. But that is just me.

 

[punchnjudy]

You stole my Procter answer!

Shiver was worse anyway. Had pro bowlers to his left and right and still killed us. Hell, he even had pro bowlers behind him.

 

[Risen Star]

Everything I have seen had it just under 10M.

Are you accounting for the rollover 2015 cap space?

 

[Doomsay]

Dont be so sure, probably the other McClain.

The worst push in the league somehow gets B's here, LOL.

 

[AzorAhai]

Not true. Depending on the contract structure, doubt more than 2.5 million against the cap this year. Dallas had over 10 million before restructuring Crawford.

Not according to overthecap they didn't. They had both the Leary and Heath tenders and had 8.3 million. They also didn't have Mcclain on there which is another 4 million+ in space gone. They had around 4.3 before Crawfords restructure. After this deal and the Thornton signing they will probably be right around 6.5-7.5 million in space assuming overthecap is right and they are usually the most accurate site for cap purposes.

Where he lost me was the fans. "And most importantly those 50,000 scumbags in the stands. Whenever I see a man being assaulted or a woman being puked on, I'll think of you."

No. Let me go back and count my beans again. BRB
