Signed by Cowboys Cowboys extend Flournoy - 1 year $6m

[gimmesix]

He’s prototype modern TE size and is one of the best blocking tight ends in the league

With 18 catches for 178 yards in his career, you have to assume the coaches saw something they feel they can build on in the passing game that his limited use hasn’t shown. He’s had one single memorable catch.

We paid Kenneth Murray Jr. $7.5 million last year to suck on top of using a draft pick to get him. I think fans get too caught up in what players are worth. I've mentioned it before that it seems to me to be a lot like my father-in-law who fusses about the prices any time we take him to a restaurant. He expects stuff to cost what it did 10 years ago or 20 years ago.

BSF and Flo? Hmm interesting…

Yeah, higher salaries for backups…..wonder why they paying this much for backups? Unless they have plans to move on from Ferg or one of the 2 wr starters?

So you want you starter to be paid like a backup?

I don't really understand why Flournoy would do this. He'd get at least that on the tender or as a free agent and he's cost himself a lot of money if he has a big year.

I suppose he could always sign an extension anyway, especially if he ends up traded, but this is an odd one to me.

Maybe Flournoy wanted cash this year.
Spotrac says there is a 2.5mil signing bonus.
