Twitter: Cowboys not signing Ron Leary

[nightrain]

Likely tried to get him on the cheap and he wouldn't bite.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

If he didn't look good enough, I would think that there would be no offer at all, not a deal falling through.

Is there a confirmation on a deal being offered? Because its week 3 and I would think the vet. minimum is what Leary would even ask for at this point. And the Cowboys can't go any cheaper than that.

 

[glimmerman]

Guessing he isn’t in good shape. Or his knee isn’t. Doubt it’s money.

So we get to watch Connor Williams get steamrolled on roller skates the rest of the year?

I never understood the Connor Williams irrational hate. He is not Larry Allen. Get over it, no one will ever be Larry Allen.

Williams gives it his all, no trouble off the field, has position flex, good technique, added weight and strength.

Gets beat once in a while. So does every other OL.

Wonder what happened

Likely the physical didn't look so good.

Also, we got a good performance out of our backup Ts so thoughts of moving a G outside have probably subsided.

 

[TheCoolFan]

Leary saw the greatness of Connor Williams and knew he wasn't going to get any playing time!

 

[Aven8]

If he’s so good why is he on the street??

These "not signings" are physical condition issues.

The agent works out the parameters of a deal and at some point the players has to be checked out physically.

knight sets too deep on pass blocking.

he isn’t TSmith.

No way!

2019 UDFA Brandon Knight is not Tyron Smith...

Thanks for the info. We were all in limbo trying to find the answer to that question.

A deal has to be offered to "fall through".

I understand that but I'm saying I didn't hear about a deal falling through other than that tweet. No one from the Cowboys camp has even acknowledged it.

Why would they? What team announces 'not signings'?

Who released that Veldeer chose to retire than accept the Cowboys offer? It was just far more descriptive than just saying "money ain't right".

Todd Archer - who does not work for the team.

And who does he get his information from? Thin air?

 

[Clove]

This is feeling more and more like a Stephen Jones team.

You go down that rabbit hole. I'm fine right here.

I suspect his displeasure was partly from being cut before and it was likely because of his wanting more in the past. Same old stuff. Perhaps the new staff doesn't think McGovern is as good as the previous one did. Seems like Dallas maybe didn't beat what Denver offered Leary. Hard call, I guess.

the tipbit is it was McClay group who was so high on him to draft him as early as the 3rd round - they relay their work and research to the coaches.
Overall i trust Wil McClay when they think they have found a player.

And i've yet to hear about any pending injury that's
held McGovern back.

Needs more development ? Fine but a highly regarded 3rd pick (per McClay) should at least be the primary backup OG - without having to
switch Looney to LG, while Tyler Biadasz immediately fills in at center.

And with the Ron Leary flirtation, that further more simply seems to indicate how OL coach Joe Philibin is so down on MGovern.

I mean if they offered Veldheer a one year, 2.5 million deal, I imagine the money was similar.

I would imagine 2.5 million is better than 0. Guess not, eh Ron?



According to Leary, he’s in the best shape he’s been in in a while. Said he spent this offseason training as to rehabbing.

well, of course Ron Leary (or his agent) is gonna prompt how good a shape he is in. He's marketing himself.

Its up to a physical exam, ..and private workout and coaches review and evaluation if he is ripe and ready to go.

 

[GORICO]

Maybe he's not quite what he used to be and the FO wanted to get a better deal. He'd likely been spoiled by another team's contract.

probably right
