Twitter: Cowboys and T. Basham

[JBS]

Very strange wording from Mike here..not sure exactly how to title this post..but it sounds like something could be brewing here..not trying to mislead anyone w a false title..but that's the best I could come up with

Thoughts on this guy?

 

[MarcusRock]

Yes, let's sit and wait to see how he reacts to that vet minimum offer he gets. Lol.

I love how the Cowboys leak all this crap. Fake news IMO.

 

[Rayman70]

deliberate media leaks lol

Why do these reporters insist on telling us what their plan is?

His market takes longer to develop? I assume he means Basham's camp is not ready to jump on anything because they think the market will heat up for him after some other options are off the board? Because why would Dallas care about his developing market if they want him?

As for him as a player, he's OK, there's nothing special about him. Where's he starting? DE? OLB? What are they doing with LVE and Smith? They gonna try to play one of them in the middle again?

This is Basham:

2017-2020 (IND & NYJ) 58 Games 12 Games Started 84 Tackles 7.5 Sacks 1 INT 7 PD's 4 FF's 1 FR 9 TFL's 23 QB Hits

27 Years old 6' 4" 266 pounds

Only really got decent playing time in 2020 where he put up 3.5 sacks so not sure how much of an impact he would have but depending on the money this is a better possibility than some of the free agents signed or discussed.

The tweet mentions they want to add multiple defensive starters. Basham is an average starter. Is that their plan? Throw their money around and get a bunch of average starters?

Well it doesn’t take much to start for this defense!

Either that or simply to make it seem like they are interested in players and sign very little in an attempt to keep fans and media interested in what Dallas will do......you know how Jerry needs to feed his attention ego.

The plan is to sit out and try to get some guys on the cheap, just like last year.

This means the Cowboys FO thinks that Basham's camp is currently overvaluing his worth. So they are hoping that no team pays an early FA premium and thus he comes down to a price they are comfortable with once he realizes he is not getting paid top dollar. Not saying I agree with this approach but this is what the FO is betting.

That’s their job

I liked Basham coming out of college as a prospect. No idea how he’s looked since he been in the league.

Their modus operandi has always been to bring in *bridge* starters.

I know. But any fan knows what the plan is. They've been doing it for years. It hasn't worked - that's the story.

Like every year.

There's a method to the sadness.

Go get one nfl calibre high end guy to upgrade at least one spot for crying out loud.

Bradley Anae can do what that schlub can do....basically nothing...
