nobody value their own guys like the cowboys. I like jlew though.
jlew
Like that.

$5 million a year for a guy to be the 4th corner seems crazy to me.
Scrappiness is a good trait!i'm good with it. Iast year wasn't his best but he showed some scrappy potential the first couple of years.
Lol. What quarterback isn't?!Dak was pricey. So this is whatbwe have to settle for
Subpackage money. Awuzie probably got mid tier starter moneyThat’s starting money. Might be your starting FS in 2021. Before you say he’s a CB, they were talking about moving him to safety at end of last season.
Im neutral on it. Id prefer a clean slate in the secondary with the exception of Diggs, Wilson and for now Brown. If we are bringing Lewis back, Id much prefer we could move in after 2021 with no dead cap. However the money is pretty small, its not even alot for a #3. If bring another guy in FA, or draft one at 10, you'll have a playable CB at your 4th spot. I think I would rather do this deal than give Awuzie the contract he got and lock him in as a starterIt is. This is a commitment. In a year where one-year prove it deals are the norm, not the exception, a little odd.
I like Lewis as a 3rd or 4th corner based off of raw production. I do think he got a raw deal from the Kris Richard thing and he quite frankly was not great last year.
I just don't see any reason to sign him for multiple years unless I was trying to play funny money with the contract.
If we draft a guy high, or sign another CB he is our #4 most likely. We could do worseMeh.. I don’t mind it..
He got way overhyped by this forum and now he is way over scrutinized by this forum.
He’s solid.
Well, Lewis may not be better than Awuzie; but their careers have at least been comparable and the Cowboys are paying $6 million less for Lewis than the Bengals are paying Awuzie.

If you draft Surtain, Farley or Horn, Lewis or Brown will be 4th.looks like Brown, Lewis, and Diggs are the starters.
Well thought-out post, I agree.For those complaining about this signing, sure I too would like to see outside signings to upgrade other positions. However, in today's NFL this isn't a big contract for a corner up until last year graded out fairly well on the field. 2020 was a disaster for Nolan and the Cowboys. Hard to fairly assess many of those players, so willing to give Lewis a chance to show what he can do in a better scheme.
For the glass half empty guys a lot of those dbs you want are still out there, along with other defensive upgrades at LB and Dline. Free agency is only a couple days in.
This only makes sense if he has actually been better... and he hasn't.
So no heart alone doesn't do it.
That’s an expensive bod.Need bods.
He's a bod.
Nah, if You look at the structure of the contract it's Yr 1 cheap, Yr 2 cheapish or bye bye if You sucked in Yr 1, Yr3 if You do good We've got You for a reasonable price or bye bye after Yr 2.That’s an expensive bod.
looks like brown, Lewis, and diggs.
not exactly the a team.
