I know alot of guys wanted him, and hindsight is certainly 20/20, but imagine if the 'Boys had guaranteed $30mil for him and this injury happened. Ranks right up there with the Marco Rivera back injury. Doesn't make whatever moves the Cowboys have made better or worse re: the OL, but this is certainly a bullet dodged.

Nicks responded to a question about his nagging left big toe injury that has limited his practice time thus far:
“I will have to deal with it my whole life,” Nicks told reporters. “Honestly, it is not 100 percent, yet. I plan on playing some this next preseason game and obviously, the third one. We will see how it goes.
“I have all the confidence in the world I will be back to playing,” Nicks added. “I will just have to deal with it my whole life. I would lie if I told you it didn’t affect me at all. It affects the way I walk, the way I stand around. I have to stand a certain kind of way. It is something I just have to deal with. I don’t want to get into taking painkillers and not knowing if it is hurting.”
His comments about having issues when he walks or just stands makes me wonder how effective he'll be if he can take the field—and even if he does, how long will this guy with the $31 million in guarantees continue to play?
