Signed by Cowboys Cowboy sign Leighton Vander-Esch to 1-yr deal

[JoeKing]

When you havent fielded a super bowl championship winning team in 25 years you better be preared for criticism. Just sayin.

32 teams, there can only be one champion each year. The rest are not losers. There are some very good contenders in this league. As long as our Cowboys are a contender, fans should be happy. It's only a sense of entitlement that tells you in the last 25 years, the Cowboys should be a Super Bowl champion. I don't share that point of view.

Remind us what the FO has done again.....

Stop being a jerk and intentionally oblivious.

 

[BlueStar22]

No market for him, took what he could get and Stephen will make sure he doesn't reach those incentives.

 

[FVSTONE]

What an f-ing joke....................

 

[TNCowboy]

Unreal. He was impossibly bad last year, they bring him back anyway.

Cooper, Collins, Gregory gone. That's a lot of talent walking out the door, without a scrap of talent coming in to replace them.

 

[Captain-Crash]

jerry had some broke neck jerseys left over so, well um., um you know we need to sell them asap cause he's not coming back after this year.
they will be collector items. lol

 

[DuncanIso]

I'm actually surprised he resigned...thought he might go somewhere wherehe is appreciated. Played his best ball in the playoffs....that's what winners do.

DQ might have something to do with him staying….

 

[DuncanIso]

The fact that he signed for 3 million here tells me that literally nobody wanted him.

he was making 2.1 last season.

both sides got something,

 

[morat1959]

This isn’t the kind of move that’s puts us in the SB. We need all pros at every position to compensate for the great one.

 

[Sully]

He did little nothing nothing at MLB. He can not plug holes and is why teams run all over Dallas

 

[Beast_from_East]

LMAO..............well, at least its a cheap one yr.

I guess this is plan B after Bobby Wagnor looked at their contract offer and told the Cowboys to go F themselves.

 

[cowboys1981]

Why do people keep comparing him to Wagner? LVE mainly plays outside. He's not a true MIKE

 

[Mobinvans]

LVe is a decent linebacker

 

[CyberB0b]

Great idea. Let’s sign the guy with the bum neck to another year.

 

[BobSacamano]

Gotta actually give the FO credit on this one. The elected not to use the 5th year option, retained the player, and saved six million in the process.

Budgeting does have some plusses.

Stop being a jerk and intentionally oblivious.

Ha ha brother Joe, I just like giving you a jab in the ribs to keep you active.

remind me the other 31 teams who have completed roster 2 weeks into FA 6 months before game 1 ..show me these awesome moves by how many teams and you realize for every team who made move the other team got weaker. So show me show me all the outside FA moves but the other 31 teams that make the Jonses look so bad..show us the mighty knowledge of the fanbase who FEEL things. LMao..

most team have done about the same they have either signed their own or lost some of their own and a few made some big moves that cost them money and draft picks but not many, a few .Like every offseason 3-4 teams go crazy the first 1-2 weeks in FA then the rest go build their rosters without the biggest names at the biggest prices.

please oh wise one. show me that list of teams who will no doubt be SB champ over ,moves the last 2 weeks. how many teams and why?

can we wait until the roister fully built and the season is upon us to judge this stuff? truly until game are played you can NOPT judge it not at all.

I know I know, just settle down young buck.
I like the moves made at this point, peeps dont realize how Fowler will be used, but this is Quinn all day.
Washington is like having another Gallup, peeps are going to love this former 2nd rounder, he will be entertained here in this lineup and this is a very exciting signing.
Dont think Im not keeping track, I just get updated 1 time a day and I will comment accordingly.
Well done Jerry on day 2!

 

[Tussinman]

So LVE flashed, and gets paid. Some fans are just as bad as the owners; see flash, give cash.

I wouldn't really say he got paid.

His rookie deal was 2.9 a year and with the cap going up 3x since then plus his experience he only got a one year 3 million deal (he actually got a slight pay cut when you factor in the cap going up, that's not even considering that the 3 million might be incentive-based)

 

[plasticman]

LVE had trouble establishing himself in Quinn's defense. He worked hard in the offseason to get back but it didn't look good at the beginning. However, he began to trend up late in the season.

This may have had something to do with some nagging injuries he had at the end of the 2020 season. When a player returns to the team after an injury that doesn't mean they are 100% as if they never had that injury. I think the same is true in Dak's case as well.

Anyway, LVE ended up with the 3rd most combined tackles and 4th most solo tackles.

Most ironic, LVE played great when the rest of the team played terribly. His three games in which he had double digit tackles were the three most devastating losses in 2021. Those games were the Broncos, Cardinals, and the playoff game against the 49ers.

Brother Typhus, that was a nice shot to the solar plexus.
