Signed by Cowboys Cowboys sign OL Rob Jones

[gimmesix]

It’s nice he’s experienced. But for $4.5 million that’s steep for “depth”

Yeah, I'm a little surprised at the amount. Maybe because we're not set at RG, we paid a little more because he's young and we think he might can compete.

Our new OC and OL coaches do pretty good with linemen, so I hope Jones is their recommendation.

 

[gimmesix]

Key words are "up to" and it's $4.75

Good catch.

 

[America's Cowboy]

He's probably better than Hoffman & Bass. I will hold out that Nathan Thomas will surprise in camp.

Nope. Not even close.

Rob Jones finished 2024 with a 56.1 PFF rating.

While Brock Hoffman finished 2024 with a 66.3 PFF rating.

And TJ Bass finished 2024 with a 63 PFF rating.

[gimmesix]

probably someone made a mistake on the offer sheet and added a 0 by mistake

Speedkilz pointed out the "up to," which are likely two very important words in that amount.

Dolphins played a lot of outside zone. Hoffman & Bass would struggle mightily in that scheme as well.

now that's selectively aggressive!!

This is a guy you get the second week of FA

I guess getting bargains started early this year

getting their usual Tier 3 guys fast this year

The post said he could make UP to $4.75 million so there are probably incentives he would have to hit to get paid that much. I assume playing time incentives

 

[bleachedwheat]

He is rated 69 overall in Madden, if that helps anyone.

Because it is not a great group of FA players.

Wow, we are going by rating from a video game now.

Now I know for sure where many fans get ideas.

 

[DandyDon52]

Low level starter/good backup type.

also cheap !!!!!!!!!!!!! Cap boy loves him and the RB they just signed, key word is CHEAP !!
Meanwhile wash signed Tunsil lol a difference maker.
They have signed 5 starters so far. Dallas 2-3 bkup guys.

Better than BSPN grades.

I'm sure Jones is a solid depth guy which is the shame in how this signing is greeted. But at the end of the day Jones and Williams do nothing to improve the starting positions and as a fan I rather them allocate the 8 million to actually upgrade a position. Hopefully they're not going to try to sell us the 2 or 3 for 1 deal is the better value.

 

[DandyDon52]

Because it is not a great group of FA players.

that is true many were resigned by their teams before FA could start.
Also march 10 and 11 is legal tampering period, FA start march 12.

we can hope for some tier 2 signings , so far it is tier 4 signings for cowboys, aka jones boys.

I know parsons is doing a facepalm today, and so are shotty and the new staff.

In todays 6pm show, Fish was clearly irritated lol, and took some shots at jones boys, and made fun of them.

 

[Rayman70]

You can only hope to contain this player.

 

[baltcowboy]

You cannot make this stuff up. This tells me they expect Hoffman to start at left guard but clearly the Cowboys are dumpster diving. Just starting a little earlier this season.

 

[big dog cowboy]

NO, Tyler is your starting LOG.
