Chris Long Rumors

What was his deal this year? Was he still recovering from the ankle injury? He's been invisible for two years. So would we be getting a guy who is just a name at this point or maybe someone who is now far enough away from the injury that he might get back to his old self?
 
long will sign with the team with the most money or if the money is close he will sign with the team that gives him the best chance to go to the superbowl and that's the pats.

Precisely why I would work him out. Hard.

If he isn't in shape, move on.

No reason to show him the trophy case, Jones Bang Bus or anything else.

Get on the field.

Hyper-extended knee last year. Ankle the year before. Reminiscent of Ware but from the other side. He was hammy then quad.

If New England signs him, it's a team contending for a Super Bowl adding a vet who will be their third or fourth end (behind Chandler Jones, Rob Ninkovich and Jabaal Sheard), and supply additional leadership and work ethic to their team.

If the Cowboys sign him, it's a team contending for a playoff berth adding a vet who would walk in as a starter, and one who has battled injuries and declining production for the last three seasons.

Personally, I don't think that it would be a good signing for the Cowboys.

I don't think he walks in as a starter. I think he is considered a rotational piece and Dallas will draft Bosa to be its starter. It's a role that's suitable for Long's age and health concerns. I view him as an upgraded Mincey.

If the team does thing he's the last piece of the puzzle on the defensive line, the coaches and front office are more stupid than I thought.

Just say no to Bosa

I think it's a good signing as well. I would like to call Long the "Gregory back up plan". If Gregory gets caught again with drugs prior to the preseason I would feel better with a veteran already signed then us scrambling for someone. I don't trust Gregory and am not planning on him playing this year. Just a hunch on my part, no information to back that up, but just a strong hunch that Gregory will not play for us in 2016.
 
Avoid the unproven Bosa at all costs. Sign a proven vet in Long reasonably or resign Hardy cheap.
 
I hate to say it, but if the money is close I think he goes to the Pats.

Free agents don't come to Dallas for a chance at a ring, we have 2 wildcard wins in 20+ years?

Free agents only come to Dallas to get paid..................hate to say it, but its true............free agents don't view Dallas as a place to get a ring right now.

You are right, but I am hanging my hope on his pride.

In New England, he would not start. In fact, he probably would not even be their 3rd best DE as Sheard, their back up RDE, had 8 sacks last year. In Dallas we have a big fat hole at one defensive end spot. He would be penciled in as a starter the second he signed his name on the paper. Even if we draft a DE pretty high, as it has been stated, we can't really rely on the kid as a rookie. I am hoping he wants a chance to come in a prove himself again. Maybe he bets on himself and takes a one-year deal from us with a very high chance to get a lot of playing time.
 
honestly if Elliot is out of the equation id rather take Jack than bosa his ability alone can make up for mistakes he make in his 1st year and we know how this defense is when Sean Lee is out too... imo for our team and how it is structured man I hope Myles kill it today so he can jump bosa on our bpa
 
It's pretty obvious that if Long takes a bigger contract this week than Dallas can offer the team will accept
the facts on the ground that the DE positions this year will be manned by young players. I see
Lawrence, Ryan Russell & Bosa at WDE and Jack Crawford, David Irving and the toking kid at SDE if
the kid actually comes back. You can't have expensive All Pros at every position on a team. Marinelli
will have his hands full and will have to do his best coaching job to get them in a position to succeed.
