Signed by Cowboys Cowboys agree to terms with Jason Peters

[bigE79]

So . . . wait, the Cowboys had a plan about this all along? I was saying that fans upset over no FA signings shouldn't be upset because free agency wasn't over.

So, now that we got our free agent signed, is it still a disaster that we didn't sign anyone in free agency?

By signing Peters, would this put us on par with how many moves the Rams made in free agency vs. homegrown?

I'll be honest, I don't remember him.

#44...a tough sob

Jeff Cavanaugh was talking about how Peters starts out on the practice squad as a protected player. I wonder what makes a newly signed player protected on the practice squad.

Very flexible retention rules.

We're George Jefferson struttin' today.

I wish Peters was as young as George Jefferson.

This feels very Harold Carmichael ish.

Brian Waters showed up in Dallas at age 36 basically off of his couch and immediately was the 2nd best OL on the team behind Tyron in 2015. It's not often but there are guys like Waters, Peters and Whitworth who can play OL at a decent level well into their late 30s.

Derek Kennard came off the couch in 1995 and ended up playing 9 regular season games and all playoffs game on the way to a Super Bowl championship.

He has started camp but decided to retire.

Jerry eventually convinced him to return after starting OC Ray Donaldson was injured during the season.

Kennard was the definition of Fat Guy.
- Madden would always talk about Kennard's backside because he had the biggest butt that I've ever seen.

Love that walk! LOL

 

[john van brocklin]

Still not changing my season predictions.

Nope me neither.
Peters just replaces Tyrone
So no net gain.

It makes you woder how many Hall of Famers would have been backups here.

How many of them are over 40

In Peters' first interview as a Cowboy he should call the Eagles organization arrogant.

So, who's getting the axe? Tafua, Thomas, Jefferson or Coyle?

Movin' on up — to the top.

So, who's getting the axe? Tafua, Thomas, Jefferson or Coyle?

I'm more worried about the important things: like how much was Peters' contract?

 

[Risen Star]

So, who's getting the axe? Tafua, Thomas, Jefferson or Coyle?

Tafua did.

So, who's getting the axe? Tafua, Thomas, Jefferson or Coyle?

And the winner is Tafua.

There are only 11 players left from the 2018 team that Peters called "arrogant." Also, the entire coaching staff has been turned over with the exception of Leon Lett.

 

[Pass2Run]

Tafua did.

He'll be back.

I'm pretty sure he was directing it at Prescott.

Just the vibe I got.

 

[DuncanIso]

In all of your faces.

hes 40 1/2 with a rebuilt knee.

hasn’t been a pro bowl player since 2016.

but if he can be the swing tackle, then go for it.

Erik Williams is still out there…

All this does is send a message to our young Tyler Smith that they have no faith in him... a no-confidence vote. The Cowboys are usually pretty good at messaging. Not this time. It has nothing to do with insurance or being prepared with a backup. Even Dak Prescott has a backup, it's just that Cooper Rush isn't a 9-time pro-bowler. It's a mistake!

The message isn't to Tyler; it's to McGovern.
