Cowboys sign LB Andrew Gachkar

[Pessimist_cowboy]

we overpaid for this guy ! ***

Who else had to google?

McClain is gone. Too bad

You jump the gun really quickly i notice

 

[Nirvana]

He can't be related to McClain contract situation - looks like more of a back-up Will who can play ST.

FOR 5 MILLION ? i don't think so.

I'll be interested in seeing the contract details; "max" makes it seem like a incentive based contract. If we were able to resign McClain, our LB depth would be pretty solid.

 

[MonsterD]

His nickname is "The Gach".

I feel good about this.

Up to 5 million over 2 years...let's see the details

"Max."

Have to see what the signing bonus is before we judge the contract...

"Up To" is the key phrase in any contract story. Probably has to be an All Pro for a Super Bowl winning defense to hit the escalators to get it there.

 

[visionary]

My initial thought is - how much talent can one defense hold?

Clearly not a lot

 

[canters]

He does not look like a starter on paper...more depth and ST. if we are so cap poor that he is projected to be a starter, we be in trouble.

 

[Christiann]

Texted a buddy who's a diehard charger fan, this is what he told me.
"NOO! I wanted him back! Fantastic backup for Butler who sucked last year. Decent run stopper and makes good plays on the ball. Good pick up for you. ******"

Take it for what it's worth

 

[JohnsKey19]

5 million over 2 years is not much. he's probably going to be the STs captain/standout and at worst provide depth at LB.

 

[KingintheNorth]

There are no words.

 

[Moderately_Askew]

Impressive, this thread didn't stand a chance. Straight into a black hole.

 

[Nirvana]

Ah ha - he played for Missouri - where Eberflus used to coach. Left before this guy played, but he's probably been on his radar.

 

[Knotamus]

Probably bumps Cam Lawrence off the roster if either were to make final 53. I don't think this means no McClain since I think he will still be relatively cheap due to off field concerns.

I agree, seem like Garrett and co. are just creating competition.. although with the cost he seems like a lock for our ST. Charger fans don't seem to like that he left, so that's a good sign. And some fans stated that he was coming on at ILB. I like the pick up. McClay seems to know how to pick off defensive players playing in a 3-4 and Marinelli will turn him into a productive player for the 4-3. Personally I see this as Bruce Carters replacement and McClain is still in play
