• "We want to maximize our relationship with him," Jones told 105.3FM the Fan. "Proud that he's given himself this chance and we're going to help him do it. I'm a fan of his." Smith drew interest at the trade deadline, but the Cowboys view him as part of their 2021 plans. The former All-Pro has been one of the comeback players of the year, posting five sacks and 12 pressures in nine starts. Smith's role has taken a hit the last few weeks with the return of Randy Gregory, but he's still getting around 66 percent of snaps. Playing on a one-year contract, extending Smith with a short-term deal would make sense for both sides.

Hey. When you quote me, give a citation.

exactly. Obviously reclamation projects are a sore spot, but when they work what’s the harm? Buncha folks were upset we didn’t do more to retain Irving

They already have about $28 million in cap space, and next year they wont be paying Tyrone Crawford or Everson Griffin on the D-Line, so they can divert some of that money to Smith.

Jerry will undoubtedly overestimate Aldon Smith's value and sign him to a deal that will burden the team with dead cap costs after he is gone.

 

[ShortRound]

He really can't just shut his trap can he?

Booger is a fan of everything he does.

 

[Cowboyny]

If we are going to extend a pass rusher, rather it be Gregory.

 

[kumizi]

Jerry loves his reclamation projects.

I guess if they want to run a 3-4 defense going forward, Aldon fits that mold.

Weird question to ask considering Aldon is replacing a guy (Quinn) who just signed a 70 million dollar deal.

That's like asking someone whose trading in a BMW "how can you afford a toyota camry" ?

 

[DanTanna]

I have a feeling if we sign Aldon for a nice contract he'll open up a 55 gallon can of quit and we'll be screwed again.

 

[ItzKelz]

Just don't over pay him....

So you're saying don't sign Dak?

 

[PAPPYDOG]

Finally a brain amongst us.....

 

[OmerV]

I didn't say that. Obviously they could go another direction if they wanted, but the $28 million in space they have this year includes Dak's salary, so even if they have to pay him more next year it won't eat up all that space. Besides, not having to pay Crawford and Griffin should easily cover paying Smith.
