Costa not gone yet

[Hoofbite]

Strange, a lot of news sources already have him down as released. It's kind of pathetic we'd go to a guy making 1.5m and ask him to take a pay cut though.

Haha. Here's a thought. Draft a late round guy to develop with one of those compensatory pick and just move on.

Save 1.1M

If he's not a guy you want on the field and who you think should be making minimums after multiple years in the league, cut bait.

I hope this isn't true. If they can't ultimatum a backup and stick to it, what happens when they do the same for someone who actually contributed?

Jones: "Please take less money, or be cut"

Player: "No"

Jones: "Okay, it was worth a shot. See ya in camp"

Yeah, that's kind of crazy. Maybe they just call everyone on the roster into the office one by one and ask them to take less money.

Haha. Like phone solicitors. Just hit everyone and let a small but consistent chance of catching the suckers generate sales.

I'm of the opinion Costa will be shown the door. Dallas doesn't want to pay what he expects them to anti up with and we'll likely choose to draft a guard or center to fill his vacant roster spot. It's not like he should be that difficult to replace with someone of equal or perchance more suitable abilities. He's not starter material and another of his ilk or even better should be highly attainable.

the only problem is that we have been HORRIBLE at late round OL drafting and development.
