Cowboys claim OT Jordan Mills

[Risen Star]

Good. Now we can all agree Jasper Brinkley sucks. That was a very odd signing for this defense.

I didn't think he looked terrible in the preseason. I thought he played better the more he played.

Crazy to see Brinkley released with McClain out and Lee being Lee

 

[dogunwo]

Wow, the FO should be applauded for resisting keeping an inferior player for financial reasons. Eat the mistake and move on. Don't feel bad for Jasper, he basically got two million dollars just to go to camp with a team, now will probably sign with another team for a similar payday after week one.

 

[ThreeandOut]

This should be an upgrade over Weems. Fills a big need since this is looking like a redshirt season for Green.

 

[JoeyBoy718]

So 2 defensive players released for 2 offensive players.

 

[cowboyblue22]

this was a good get so was the rb

Dunbar not getting waived. It has to be Weems.

Darrion Weems is the swing tackle.

I don't see anyone getting added at this late date being able to learn LT and RT in our scheme to the point they'd be active this Sunday night.

Jordan Mills only played RT in Chicago. He never played LT in college, but did start 5 games at LG as a true freshman before getting all his starts at RT afterwords.

Never liked it. Just a little more of a regret since he got $2M for being a placeholder because we were nervous about signing McClain back at the time.

2 million flushed down the toilet.

Not sure either player is the swing tackle we really need.

And I am still amazed and dumbfounded that the staff absolutely refuses to work Collins at his college position.

Grading the Bears rookie offensive linemen: Week 14 vs The Dallas Cowboys (Dec 13, 2013)

Before I get into their grades, I wanted to give my general impressions of both Kyle Long and Jordan Mills from Monday Night against the Dallas Cowboys. The word that I kept coming back to was 'tenacity'. Both Mills and Long had good feet and a solid hand punch, but it was their tenacious stick-to-itiveness that really stood out to me...

Yes please.

He looked TERRIBLE. Horribly bad.

You are so much smarter than them. What are they thinking??

 

[Questfor6]

Reasonable guesses.

Brinkley would've been my 4th guess but I guess they'll hold onto Weems until Mills gets acclimated

 

[Bluefin]

wow,2 million down the drain on Brinkley,i would have kept him till Ro came back.

$1.25M for sure, that was the signing bonus.

The $750K that is guaranteed as part of his base salary isn't for sure.

If another team signs Jasper Brinkley, Dallas will only owe the difference between what they pay (vet minimum for him looks like $720K) and the $750K owed.

at the time if was uncertain if we were going to retain McClain so it made some sense. the contract numbers were a bit generous though.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Garrett, Stephen, Will and company.....

And if someone doesn't sign him, we've got s vet injury replacement guy just sitting there

Stock brainless reply. Thank you for contributing nothing and insinuating something that was not even said.
