Signed by Cowboys Cowboys Sign FB Olawale

[Pessimist_cowboy]

We’re getting trolled hard here. Can get a better FB for less than half the cost.

The guaranteed money is less than 3 Million and the veteran minimums are close to a million per year for players with his time in the league. Any veteran FB would cost you this much or more and few of them are the receiving threat that Olawale is.

We can draft some grunt in the 7th round this year and pay them $480k to do exactly what Olawale does.

 

[Melonfeud]

They troll us for sure.

Jerry and Stephen must wait for big news to break to troll us with this garbage

It's pretty well known that they do hold message boards in an esteemed level of disdain.

 

[Plankton]

I think he was tied with the three-named linebacker who they also deftly managed to keep.

Whew!

Olawale played the second most special teams snaps on the team last year, slightly more than Rod Smith, but trailing Damien Wilson.

The Cowboys coverage teams last year were not good. It's not as if bringing Olawale back improves that. And certainly not for three seasons.

 

[ClappingCarrot]

Jerral traded for Olawale last season after we lost Keith Smith. Did you really expect him not to extend this clown?

 

[Redsfan_83]

well at least we know that due to no wifi on the yacht, they are in town and apprently not asleep during the FA period...

 

[DCBoysfan]

That some of that Earl Thomas money.

 

[InTheZone]

Does he get more than 80 snaps all year?

That explains why Bo Scarborough and Darius Jackson are tearing up the NFL.

Did you miss the sarcasm?

You often come up with the most bizarre rebuttals.

Those two are RBs, have they ever blocked for another back?

 

[Starforever]

You all know that you build around your fullback.

If you're attempting to say Olawale is a more sure investment than Scarborough, Jackson (who aren't even FBs), or a late draft pick, you may want to use someone else.

Olawale is less than useless.

Tyler Clutts was 10X the fullback Olawale has been for us.

 

[gimmesix]

I can't believe all the complaining about this. We were going to have a fullback, Olawale is a good one and the cost is about what should be expected. I know fans are surly over Dallas not bringing in outside FAs, but it makes us look pretty stupid when we complain about a move like this.

 

[Plankton]

Did you miss the sarcasm?

Didn't think that you were serious. Just pointing out the number of snaps that Olawale contributed on ST. And further highlighting why I wouldn't have signed him to a multi-year deal, much less a one year contract.

 

[links18]

Maybe they will actually use him this year?

Let me ask you this - is a replacement level player like Olawale worth sinking any guaranteed money into, no matter the number big or small? Guys like him can be found on the scrap heap every offseason. He played 10% of the offensive snaps, and 62% of the ST snaps. That could be filled with a rookie FA or some other vet on a one year deal.

 

[Brax]

I think last season was Olawale's worst season but 1) this isn't much money and 2) this is clearly about the new offense Kellen Moore is putting in rather than what Olawale did under the High School offense Linehan was running last year.

Is this the same Kellen Moore who was there all last year working with and inputting his wiews on that brilliant offense with his mentor SL and helping Dak be a average QB? So the SL disciple boy genius will save the day not the brilliant offense mind JG. You have secret knowledge of this new offense, please share it with us.

Max protect every play with two receivers running out or comeback routes. Success!
