Signed by Cowboys Cowboys sign LB Joe Thomas

[Jumbo075]

Worth "up to $4.6M", which means he has a low base salary, and a bunch of incentives that will increase his pay if he unexpectedly wins a starting job.

Am I seeing a trend? Two players that were once here, Thomas and Olawale, resurfacing. Who was on our PS as an O-lineman that went somewhere else to fame and has been recently released? That's our next G or T. hmmmm. Did I say fame? I meant JAG fame

Yeah were trying to act like the were the Patriots and that we have system guys that we can get a lot out of but are worthless to other teams.

The Cowboys have made their first foray into free agency, agreeing to a two-year deal with linebacker Joe Thomas, who visited the team Wednesday, according to a source. Thomas spent part of the 2015 season on the Cowboys' practice squad. He spent the last three seasons with the Green Bay Packers, starting eight games while playing mostly in the sub packages and on special teams. He had 14 tackles, a half sack and a pass deflection in 2017. His best year came in 2016 when he started seven games and had 77 tackles

Well at least we know somebody was impressed with CeCe's and Golden Corral. Way to go Jones family!

Had 14 tackles last year. Word

Solid technique though and there is his "starter" snaps.

superbowl bound..lol

No, I'm not bashing the player, just funny how this is setup like a big announcement

 

[northerncowboynation]

apparently 2 years / 4,5 Million $

lol

Damn that's a lot of Doritos and Bud for Thomas. Not a lot of talent or skill added though. Maybe he can bring the Doritos and Bud for the boys on the bus

did the Broncos release Ron Leary?

They did????? ***.... come back home Ron. We love ya like a brother man

did the Broncos release Ron Leary?

Oh. I see you're following the theme of players released then coming back. Damn don't get me all excited like that

 

[Teague31]

Cross LB off from round 1. We are good to go

Im asking.....did they?
he was in the news but I cant recall if it was for a pay cut or release.

 

[maryquality]

So, only 12 pages of posts for this signing. Must be a camp body!! LOL

Oh, I thought you were following along with the line of players that were here, left and now are back (Olawle and Thomas). all I see is they put him on injured reserve late in the season because of a back injury. That along with degenerative knees isn't a good thing for Leary. Liked him here, a lot. Class, gave 100% even when the Cowboys didn't extend him. Still glad we don't have to deal with a back and knee problems.

Interesting. Not offering Joe Thomas a mimimum tender may hint that he doesn't fit into the new defense also
Pepper and Thomas are no big surprise. Thomas hung around as long as he did because they were that bad at ILB.

Love this comment---we got ourselves a prize:

Seems like they were more concerned or puzzled they did not tender DB Herb Waters (who they have re-signed).

If his contract is structured anything like Mayowa's, he gets a low base and sizable signing bonus this year then hits of approximately a $1M-1.5M or so the next two years.
