So they can sign 30 more vet-minimum QB's?

lol...guess they earned it though.

They still need another corner and a couple more offensive linemen at the very least.

They had the same record as us bruh.

Skins have made some nice moves this week, basically rebuilt their defense in one offseason. if they actually had a QB I'd say they could compete for the division.

I don't see how saying Jerry would panic and sign the top DE available is "bashing."

because "panic" would go against every "calculated" move i've seen "the team" make since all this started.

and it also seems garrett is calling a lot of the shots, so why not have garrett panic and sign someone? i also think it was "patience" that let bowen go, not a "panic" to resign him and match offers just to keep things the same OF WHICH they already are not.

The purge this morning + Haynesworth and McNabb gone + no stars at skill positions on either side = young and cheap roster with room to add Cofield, Bowen and Wilson

Hoping o-line additions such as Ryan Harris are next
 
Thats alot of coin for Bowens.....even if we had the cap space...would anyone of you sign him to this deal?

But this is a loss ....2 players on the DL that I liked are gone....Dixon last year...and it looks like he will get some playing time with the Jets and now Bowens

This is what happens when you set a cap floor....teams are now forced to spend money and you can see now that some average players are making big bucks.

you will see this more and more.....developing players...getting big contracts.

In all seriousness I wouldn't worry so much if I were you. They just need to keep on this track. Suck real bad this year and invest in a young QB. Then the next few years find him a stud WR
 
Mash, you're absolutely right. Skins get a nice player in Bowen, but probably a guy they'll be grinding their teeth over not living up to the contract.

Chris Canty Pt 2.

Yeah, I'm not hip to paying a ton for him either. If he could stay healthy year in and year out, he would definitely be worth the money though.

i would like jenkins and either coleman or smith..that would be a good upgrade for us in a place that we need it...then get elam
 
I'm bummed....I like Stephen as a player and as a person. Good guy. Extremely down to earth.
I'm glad he got paid, but I hate that he's a Commander now. That's as bad as Canty going to the Giants. :mad:

But Jenkins could be Ferguson or Haynesworth Part 2. Will he be hungry after getting paid and getting his ring? Will he stay healthy? Big ifs.

I don't like Bowen. He is the Enemy to me now.

Hope he has a LOSING season. :p:

He is a Commander now. That proves that statement dead wrong.

I agree that the money was too much and they were sensible to let him go, but his absence undeniably hurts. Let's see what Plan B is.


Do you remember Brandon Noble? Bowen is version 2011. Just sayin'.

Would you have panned him in the same way had we re-signed him? Doubtful. Just because he defects to the Skins doesn't make him a bum.

he can't sign everyone and he has to balance a lot of things we as fans simply don't understand. so the blind bashing of jones to me has a long history of being old and out of place.

it's my own pavlovs dogs response, sorry.

and great. i never said twitter was without merit - only i don't want to see it so i avoid twitter, but that doesn't do any good.

If the Cowboys sign a player, it a “good move” if they let one go its because “we can’t sign everyone”. Doesn’t matter, there is no room for criticism in your book. Bowen was a guy Rob Ryan liked. I would trust his opinion. He fits into his rush the passer scheme. It’s a loss, no doubt about it.

Do you realize most of the information coming into the forum is from Twitter?

Yup. I am disappointed he left, just like I was with Noble (who I really liked) . BUT, he was never as much of an impact that Canty was. Cowboys can find another rotational guy.
