Signed by Cowboys *** Cowboys extend Lamb for 4 years / $136 million ***

[Flamma]

Does the extension start after the 5th year option or immediately?

It starts next year, but he gets his signing bonus now. They basically add his 5th year option money to the extension and spread it out over the next 5 years.

Vikings paid Jefferson to catch passes from Sam darnold. Why do we have to have Dak?

 

[Floatyworm]

He just wants to take care of his family.

Pfffff...Totally expecting he joins the Zeke 6 game suspension club @ some point. Or he's the next Terrence Williams on a bicycle @ midnight. What else can a WR do to join the 88 club?

Mike.....nailed for blow and hookers
Dez....lockeroom meltdown...
CD....??? I can see him eating himself out of the league in 3 years. Or we will try and make him a TE.

What proof do you have that he was going to sign an extension last offseason? The plan for CeeDee is the plan all star Cowboys players do. Force the the Joneses to overpay.

He was eligible to be extended. That's why I said what I did. As far as proof there's no proof either way. Words are just words but there was A number.

But this is all off track bc once again I was speaking of the contract he signed today....could have been done much earlier.

 

[KJJ]

what a crock of crap. He chose to take a ten year deal because it was enough for him. Just two years later his deal was like the fourth highest for a tackle; and in two more he was barely top ten. THAT is history no matter what you want to think. and claiming that it was not foreseen that salaries would continue to go up as the cap did is beyond idiocy.

You don’t know what he was thinking. Starting around 2016 he began having injury issues causing him to miss multiple games every season. Hard for any player to ask for more money when they’re struggling to stay in the field due to injury. The Cowboys catered to him in every way to try and keep him healthy, even having him miss practices. A couple years ago, Jerry said he moved on from some players because of their lack of availability. Not about to waste all day arguing this.

I can't wait till Dak and Micah get NFL record contracts too.

 

[Flamma]

It's awesome to have Lamb locked up. This also gives them more cap space. Right?

It should.

THE ORIGINAL rule decreed once you had control of the ball and either two feet or another part of your body touched the ground it was a catch.

I think one change that came early was about being shoved out of bounds so that you could not touch the ground; if in the judgement of the official you had control it was still a catch. That was a long time ago but I think it came in the nineties. There were only minor tweaks like that now and then until the idiots decided to screw things up.

No, the original rule was that you had to maintain possession of the ball all the way through the contact of the ground. Even if the receiver had control of the ball and a body part touched the ground, if the ball came free after contacting the ground, it was a no catch. Not about to spend all day arguing that damn rule again.

 

[triplets_93]

if you have to ask lol

but last year's top 2.. but for his career he's been landing in the top five for a few years now... do you remember when everyone said when we lost Amari cooper he won't be the same player? umm he was BETTER a true 1, not this hes lucky to be 2 at best but needs protection..no that Sanders in Philly LOL

I just remember CD dropping some balls that he shouldn't in crucial games.
The Stat of Winning... Is Everything!!

So glad they have him locked up. What an awesome draft pick.

Well all Jerry cares about is being the owner of the richest franchise. I guess the players think what's good for the goose....... lol

Well I saw many times where a receiver was laying on the ground and the ball was torn from him it was not ruled a fumble but a catch and down. You do not know the rules as well as you think.



If a player is tackled and loses control of the ball at or after the time he makes contact with the ground, the player is treated as down and the ball is not in play. However, in the NFL and CFL, if a ball carrier falls without an opponent contacting him, the ground can indeed cause a fumble.

 

[phildadon86]

Lamb deserves to get paid, Dak does not.

lol so the guy throwing the ball to the guy who does deserve to be paid doesn’t?

 

[BoyzBlaster]

And now, we wait...........................LOL

Cee Dee's contract is like we just ate a massive burrito with rancid beef and now we're just waiting for what we all know will come next when the announce Dak.

I'm interested to see how they structure Dak's contract. They don't need the extra cap space.

I’ve heard the old rule explained a zillion times by NFL officials and we went through it a zillion times after the Dez catch. If the player is laying on the ground and the ball is torn free, then they were down by contact. We’re not talking about a fumble here or a ball being ripped away by a defender, we’re talking about what constituted a completed catch under the old rule. The old rule became so controversial because even if the receiver caught the ball and made what appeared to be a football move, if they lost the ball as they were going to the ground or contacting the ground, it was ruled a no catch. This is what happened to Calvin Johnson and Dez Bryant. Both receivers did everything right except hang onto the ball when they contacted the ground. It was an insane rule that angered many, which is why it was changed.

Should have happened already.

It got done timely and with no injuries...

 

[KJJ]

To be clear, we’re not talking about a fumble. Like I said we’re talking about what constituted a completed catch under the old rule. The ground has never been able to cause a fumble under any rule. The old rule forced the receiver to maintain control of the football, all the way through the contact of the ground. If they lost possession of the ball at any point before they contacted the ground or after they contacted the ground, it was ruled a no catch. It was a ridiculous rule.
