Colombo Contract Offer from Cowboys entails...

[Crown Royal]

I would offer a 3 year, but with the 3rd year voidable. Put a roster bonus in that year as well.

 

[sacase]

Hmmm, let me get this right. A couple years ago Colombo was on a fast track to the REAL world because of a bum knee. A year later, he gets offered a 2-year deal worth $7mil. Hmmm, minimum wage v.s. $7mil, don't know, that's gotta be a tough choice.....

Why do people always seem to think that NFL players have a choice of being millionares in the NFL or working at fast food places. I guess they need to make themselves feel better.

This speculation is based off of Mick saying that Colombo won't get much more than (Stinchcomb?) got with the Saints. That was a 2-year, 7M contract. I doubt that's exactly what we've got on the table for Marc.

My bet is he ends up a Cowboy at the end of the day, anyway.

 

[burmafrd]

but Pettigout is 3 years older with a history of back spasms. And coming off a broken leg.

All I hear is that the Cowboys want Colombo back bad and yet they lowball him?, I just don't understand this!.

How is Dallas lowballing him? He played 1 season after being injured for most of this career and now Dallas should pay him what more established guys are getting? Right now I'm not seeing any other team throwing big bucks his way or else he would have been signed.

Thanks for using paucity in your reply. It is about time we have some erudite debaters in the fold.

First of all, anyone who talks like that should slap themselves.

Secondly, paucity means scarcity and therefore makes no sense in the context in which you used it.

Funny huh? The guy has a 4 year degree from BC and made millions on his first contract being a #1, but he's gonna make 7 bucks an hour if he doesn't play ball.

Mick didn't pull that about the Stinchcomb deal out of the air. I'm sure Mick picked that up in his conversations around the Ranch with guys like Stephen Jones. I took it to be good info that Stinchcomb's deal is the contract Jerry and Stephen used to make their offer.

It sounds like Colombo is checking out the market to see if that is his true value.

Sure. I'm sure he's had indications that we're using that deal to try to peg Colombo's contract, but that doesn't mean we're only willing to offer two years, or whatever else is being inferred in this thread.

 

[Mavs Man]

Injury concerns aside, it must be rubbing him raw that solid but unspectacular OLinemen are getting contracts this offseason paying more per year then what he'll be paid in two.

Not only that, but, just how in the world is Colombo going to survive on 7 million dollars? I know I can't...I will make a little over 9.7 million this year and I think I might have to file for welfare or bankruptcy...



7 million is not what it was yesterday....

Ridiculous isn't it?

That's alot of frogs! I could live off the interest of that alone!

 

[AmishCowboy]

Luke is older and has injury problems too and he got 3 years, $15 Million with $6 Million Guarnteed. I'm sure Colombo is looking at this and would accept a deal like that.

The comparison isn't $7 million vs. minimum wage. The comparison is $7 million over 2 years vs. $12 million over 3 years or $20 million over 5 years.

He's looking at Kenyon Coleman's contract and saying, "Hey, if he can get that kinda money, shouldn't I?"

I know what he's doing....

But, if you get to greedy in anything in life, sometimes it don't work out all that well.

I'm just saying, if he wants 7 mil, he knows he can get it...and if he cannot live on 7 mil for two years, and then see if he's still a player and can get bigger money, then he's being greedy...



Oh, and if he were to get a serious injury, I'm sure he won't starve anytime soon...

We're all greedy. It's what makes the world go 'round.

Why should Dallas bid against themselves? Evidently Colombo is not getting any bigger offers or he would have signed with someone. Because he wants it does not mean he will get it. Heck there are a lot of things I want and maybe feel I deserve but that is not reality your worth has a lot to do with what others think of you and your ability not what someone else just got paid. I guess that is where I differ from others around here. Is your worth or value based on someone else worth or value or is it based on what owners feel your value as an individual is.
