Signed by Cowboys Cowboys sign LB Joe Thomas

savage

It is what he does.

Honestly, he’s probably better than Justin Durant. We need 2 more linebackers in the draft now.

If that is the benchmark, of course.

The devil is in the details. If that reported dollar amount earlier is true, I want to know how it is structured.

That will tell the tale if it was good or bad.

He was non-tendered by GB so he is not Comp qualified ...... so there is that

Churn those comp picks!

I thought we usually wait until late August to put the practice squad together.

LLLOOLLL, there goes my OJ.

how do we know we didnt just sign a helluva player.

Well Green Bay didn't even bother to tender him, but what do they know

@Alexander if that’s the deal then yes, it’s an upgrade over Durant. I think the first rounder will be a lb not to mention I see ya drafting another lb mid round. Hitchens won’t be missed imo

I am sure someone posted this very same thought after Mayowa signed.

This is the same kind of shot in the dark.

 

[cowboyec]

cute.
but my point remains.
we dont know what kind of player he is til we see him on the field.
bottom line...we're all right here in the zone....not in a front office.

It works both ways, the dumb fans don’t always understand what is going on.

And the dumb fans see the same thing happening but somehow expect different results.

Hey, the guy certainly got better as the season progressed. But I'll also say that the bar was set pretty low early on when he had no idea what he was looking at out there.

But if the team now needs to massage its entire game plan and roster to "cover" for him? It was an epic waste of the #34 overall pick in the 2016 draft.

I agree. I was against the pick at the time because of the foot thing.
I mean, you hear things from people like Broaddus (gotta take what he says with a grain of salt) saying his drip foot is getting better and all, but until I see it, it's just cautious optimism. He flashed big time against the Chargers.
Football's all about consistency though.
And you better have a good plan B.

and maybe it works this time.
maybe not.
we'll see.

Wait, hold on.

So this is what you believe our response to losing Hitchins is?

 

[Bleu Star]

And the flood gates have opened.

God speed to you all.

I lol'd.

The money tells all.

When I saw that we were Joe Thomas was visiting, my first thought was the CB that we drafted from Buffalo a couple of years ago that we cut.

I thought the tackle from Cleveland
He’d be a nice swing tackle lol

screw green bay.

So the Packers had this "helluva player" for two years and didn't even think enough of him to tender him?

That's your guess?

Here comes the homers !!!

Facts actually
