Twitter: Clarence Hill: Anthony Barr is an option for the Cowboys per source

[fivetwos]

Another guy for Sam Williams to have to climb past?

Progress stopper.

Better shot at Williams being something special vs Barr being the answer to our problems.

Williams will play with his hand in the dirt. Signing Barr slows down a guy like Cox not Williams

You mean the ground up tires?

 

[john van brocklin]

Have we signed him yet?

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Why don't we convince Sean Lee to return too?

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

They would get LVE and Barr for a lot less than what Wagner got.

And the trainers would get more practice

 

[Runwildboys]

Why don't we convince Sean Lee to return too?

He's not here anymore???

 

[Hennessy_King]

Even if they sign him. The dumb front office will make it a 1 yr deal so we can bottom bin shop for lber again next year

 

[Typhus]

No surprise but what's the "right" price.

Would be good for depth, just a quick look at the LB depth and we should be easily entertaining all candidates.
We can redshirt Clark, so anyone sold on Gifford maintaining the roster spot?

 

[Bullflop]

Stephen might be interested in Barr but being "interested' isn't what makes a signing happen.

Unfortunately, Stephen is seldom inclined to allow his interest to interfere with his miserly habits.

Don't get me wrong, I'd actually enjoy seeing someone of his ilk sign with this team but I doubt it.

 

[conner01]

To me he’s about as valuable as Fowler
Don’t see a reason for both

Of which, given Barr's injury history, we might get about 7 games out of him, if we're lucky.

Rather start a rookie, Barr is 34 maybe?! Give me youth and craziness as far as I’m concerned.

 

[Teague31]

Due diligence
Honest offer
War daddy
Secret sauce

1. "Progress stopper" I suppose makes some sense in theory, but a serious candidate for a job goes out and wins the job no matter who's in front of him. Progress is earned. And if the so-called progress-stopper is well paid, in the NFL, there's even the opportunity to cut that guy and escape some part of the salary... vis-a-vis, that much more incentive to let progress occur.

2. Would love to get Barr, but there are higher priorities, imo... safety net O-lineman (I don't trust 21 year-olds unless they come into the league with Tyron's scouting report) and temporary starter at WR (James Washington doesn't come to Dallas with starter-quality stats, but worse, he comes to Dallas in statistical freefall... we're not okay there, at least until Gallup returns.).

If a vet is on the roster for game 1 then he can ask for his whole years salary if cut during the season. (they can do this once I believe)

Barr turned 30 in March lol

If only there was some resource on the internet you could type in a question and get an answer.

He just turned 30.

Lol, still rather have a rookie, lol

What's a lot less? Over the next 3 years Wagner gets 26.5M. With a 2 million dead cap if they release him afterwards. That's just under 9M per.
