Cowboys have had "initial conversations with Wagner"

[Bowdown27]

What’s pathetic is we’re trying resign lve first over Wagner. Bobby should be our priority.

 

[JayFord]

lets not waste our time

this FO is like that parent that takes you to the mall gets you all hype then says "heres 10 bucks but bring me back my change"

Due to our FA history of the past 10 years, we shouldn't allow any "discussion" or "reached out" tweets to be posted lol. It just creates a 10+ page thread of endless speculation that just ends with the player signing somewhere else.

And - the same "intitial conversations", "reached out" interactions, and "discussions" occur between the other 31 teams and the free agents -
wIth most of them resulting in no deals being made.

I may be wrong, and in the minority, but I hope they don't sign Wagner. At 33 he is on the verge of dropping off the cliff. It could be this year, or next, but it happens to every player. I would not want to commit what little assets Jerry is willing to spend and find out this is the year Wagner shows his age. We just went through that with Anthony Barr.

You don't have to hope

they're not signing him

Look, here's what's happening. Cowboys plant their interest level in Wagner's camp. Then they sit and wait to see if the market doesn't develop for him. If it does and he goes elsewhere, no skin off their butt.

This is how they approach FA. It's not that they go out and get a player they really want. They "hope" to get a player they really want for cheap.

Jerry's "Initial conversation", would you accept a vet minimum incentive laden contract...

Wagner - laughter, NO, hangs up!

 

[CCBoy]

I'll be shocked if Wagner signs with the Cowboys.

All after gnost, I spell phonetically....golf, november, oscar, sierra, tango.

 

[Whyjerry]

Just Jerry stringing fans along.

100 pct correct.

Jera = Bargain Shopper

Yep

Sign Wagner, a CB or WR, resign Hankins and Wilson and prepare for the draft

 

[Verdict]

Man, I have to say that reading this thread makes me wonder what has happened to the world. It’s like a bunch of whining adolescent school girls.

Free agency hasn’t even started yet and some of you are already whining, crying and carrying on. Lol. After free agency has dried up and we haven’t signed anyone yet then come and whine and say “I told you so” but let’s at least wait to see what we do this year. SMH.

 

[Havic]

Will you play for less?

No

Ok thank you for your time.

The player & agents are fine with it though as it just drives up the "perceived" market.

“Initial conversation” means Stephen offered him a low # for the privilege of being on the Cowboys and Wagner will shop that offer elsewhere for more $.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Jane dropping this news.

Initial for me means.

"will you play for the Star on the helmet and no real money?"

Hopefully it translates to us signing him. We can afford a big FA or two.

That is a positive, Risen will come at me now...

 

[OriginalNameGuy]

So he's signing elsewhere. You can expect to read this about any decent FA in a position of need or any trade prospect trying to leverage his team

I'll be shocked if Wagner signs with the Cowboys.

I wouldn't, there was a huge difference between him and Vander salary. Vander made alot if money in 2022. Wagner made 12mil last yr. They're saying Vander will be between 8-10mil per. I say closer to 8. Give Wagner 11 and call it a day. Hell see if he'd play for 10. I think he would to play for a defense he knows.
