OK, now tell us the 3 dtackles that they are going to need to go with Smith. Who are they? Why gamble when you can lock in a solid player before free agency and the draft? A good chance that Washington would sign Osa if they let him go. Anyway, they are keeping Osa and it is likely that they sign him because they are going to keep him out of free agency and use the cap declaration as a place holder while negotions continue.
Lol, the tag is a place holder while negotiations continue. It keeps him out of free agency. He has a market. Several teams are interested in him and he would likely go to Washington if allowed to hit free agency.
nonsense...Even if you dont like OSA, teams Tag mediocre players all the time..
You're spot on, but the worry I have is that this lasts the majority of the summer. The tag eats a considerable amount of cap space until they reach a longer agreement and would effect what they do in free agency the first couple waves.
They are banking on he will sign.
It could all be a bluff to trick OSA into a cheaper long term deal from,Dallas.
My opinion is subjective just watching him play. But I do agree. He is not "the guy" for me either. I would love Dallas to get a couple of monsters in the middle of the defense. But I don't see that happening.
To me they should take him, and would be crazy not to. This is the issue with how the Cowboys operate though....they make one move on bringing a guy like OSA back and consider the position fixed. In reality they could get two quality players for the position and have it actually be a strength of the team for once.
I wish he wouldn't and would play them and sign with another team but they can tag him and that ends everything
Ehh, meh...If Osa shows out, in a scheme tailored for 3Ts then he cost more next season when they could've signed him cheaper now, just like the price went up from this past summer (TC).
