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

[Manwiththeplan]

He honestly played really good in the playoff game. If it’s cheap good signing.

Compared to the 36 or so games between his rookie season and the playoff game?

 

[DuncanIso]

Basically a 5th year option?

 

[Bowdown27]

I’m assuming we go lb early with this signing

 

[jazzcat22]

I am fine with this move.
Wagner can still be in play.

However Wagner's asking price could be very high and maybe wants a long term deal to go with it.

Say he wants a 4 year deal. why over pay, when they will need to use $$ for Micah in a few years.

He improved the second half of the season about the time Gallimore came back. If they could get a good two down NT it would do wonders.

 

[J12B]

LOL let’s bring back everyone that just got ran over in the playoffs!

LVE actually played well against SF and the last half of the season.

 

[Cowboyny]

The issue with Cowboys linebackers has always been the defensive tackles. We need to improve the 1 tech asap.

We know this front office doesn't prioritize the position, it's up to Quinn to demand one.

Cheaper and not fully guaranteed, hopefully, so that's good.

No issue bringing him back but I hope they still make LB a priority in the draft.

Very possible. This is like the CYA signing to be able to do that with minimal risk.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Absolute barf.

See the other thread re: this team doesn’t know how self scout.

If folks are actually okay with this it tells me they don’t actually watch enough football outside of the Cowboys to know what a good linebacker looks like.

We still have Micah for 4 more years very cheap (with 5th year option).

 

[AbeBeta]

Maybe not if they plan on moving Parsons to the edge, Cox is still unproven

Stop. We aren't moving Parsons to full time edge. He is far too versatile to limit him in that way.

 

[Big_D]

You couldn’t be more wrong he played great in the playoff game.

great? That word gets thrown around a lot on here. 170 yards, 4.4 yards a carry, no tackles for loss. Niners we’re breaking long run after long run. Not a single LB played “great “!

 

[mardwin]

I guess I get to rock the LVE jersey I got in his rookie season.

Unless he goes to Cabo.

 

[Redline360]

Yawn...it was time to move on. He played "better" the second half of the season but that's not saying much.

Anything over 3m is downright lunacy

I think it's more acceptance to how this team handles FA, or the lack thereof.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

I was agnostic on Bobby Wagner anyway. But one of Hunter or Smith is a must-have if you want hope of not regressing.

 

[LandryFan]

So sad the team can’t finish .500 any more.
League needs to add another game!

8-8-1

Wagner free agent... but
sign LVE
