Signed by Cowboys Cowboys Sign RB Royce Freeman

[Manster_Mash]

I’ve never been so detached from this organization. In all seriousness, they make it very very difficult to be passionate about them.

They've saved me 51 hours this coming fall / winter and the cost of 5 months cable package.

There was talks in recent weeks of how both Zeke and the Cowboys were in communication and showing interest for a possible reunion.

So nothing.

Dallas doesnt have a lot of cap space.

In fact, we dont have any.

What does that have to do with anything when they could create many millions instantly if they wanted to?

You have been repeating this over and over all off season and it's just not true.

 

[Risen Star]

Any truth that we signed him simply because Stephen heard "free man"?

 

[_sturt_]

But here's the thing that makes him different... he's a big boy that more logically fits as a competitor to Hunter Luepke's role than he does to Rico Dowdle's role in terms of McCarthy's offense. While I won't begrudge your intelligence... for what purpose would I do that... the history of off-season roster building around these parts has been that Jones, Jones & McClay LLC do not tend to have more than one or two bigger bodied RBs.

And to be fair to my point... Zeke at age 29 would also represent more of a fit in the Hunter Luepke role than he does in the Rico Dowdle role. So, no, call me a fool, but I do regard this as a nail in the coffin of belief that Zeke is still on the radar... and my bet is that Zeke would have been the signing except that his agent thinks he would have been deserving of better compensation than Stephen was willing to put on the table

Clarence, weigh in...

Thank you, Clarence. You might not be Cowboys beat deity, but you're so much closer to that than I'll ever be.

Maybe. Let's see what they do in the draft.

 

[America's Cowboy]

So nothing.

Signing Royce Freeman instead is actually nothing.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Signing Royce Freeman instead is actually nothing.

It guarantees Zeke won't be a Cowboys again. That is something not nothing.

 

[America's Cowboy]

It guarantees Zeke won't be a Cowboys again. That is something not nothing.

Only for Zeke haters.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

LOL, bet the FO is patting themselves on the back now and feel they have taken care of the RB position and now don't have to pick one in the first three rounds. I mean with Freeman, Deuce, Davis, Leupke and Dowdle....what can possibly go wrong?

 

[DuncanIso]

CeeDee and Micah don't appear to be the kind of players who care to be SB champs, rather than just cashing in big time personally. They'll go wherever the money comes from. In fact, they seem to like to have more time off after the season is over.

Jerry can control them for several seasons.

5th year option + tag + tag +tag

Going into their 9th season by then.

-$5Million as of this AM.

 

[big dog cowboy]

-$5Million as of this AM.

OK. Exactly what does that matter?

Nothing. Doesn't matter one bit.

clueless, that they don’t understand that these players are camp bodies, they bring about 90 players in the camp and then roll out with the best 53 and 10 practice people that’s more than 30 players being cut off this team before September.
The draft has not even come yet and think this off-season is a failure, after the draft which I believe they will draft a premium running back,
They will go through camp and when they feel the need, they can add a veteran running back to this team(cook, zeke or others mentioned,) either before week one or after week one as to not gualtee thater deals, many will be available.

There is no reason to add the old veterans on this team for any of this basic off-season nonsense that is for the players who actually need it.
That’s like the people who think CD didn’t show up because he’s gonna hold out, even though he’s on the team for $17 million this year ,oh that’s right my Parson didn’t show up either for the 2nd season.

Is he holding out ?? how many veterans across the league showed up for the voluntary Camp? so many, im not looking it up, most of the veterans are doing their own thing right now.

They have their own off-season regiments with individual trainers and coaches,
so people could be upset about camp bodies and bringing in more bodies. Hell you don’t even even know this guy could turn out to be really great, but that is not why they brought them here, they’re bringing in camp bodies to do all the camps they need more bodies. They need more legs because the veterans are not going to show up for a lot of these little camps..

You don’t understand , casual fans are upset,yet other teams aren’t doing it. Yes, they are. I’ve seen so many signings of players I don’t even know their names , all around the league…

Can we calm down and relax ??? you do not understand $1 billion NFL team just because you play madden and fantasy football and watch the games and discuss it with your buddies while you’re drunk
And before you say it, we have not had a lot of plyoff success blah blah blah 28 years blah!!

YET , they have won 36 games, 2 division titles, been too the playoff 3 times in a row the last three years.

also been to the playoffs five times in the last eight years with Prescott healthy.

Literally they have a handle on what they’re doing whether you like it or not and feel like you could do a better job.. they’ve been a top 16 the last three years..

FYI,

Again ,I realize we want more success, but stop acting like they don’t know how to run training camp and preseason and get a roster built. They will have it ready before game one.. that would be five months from now, but hey, let’s keep the daily complaining going because there are a lot of casuals who like to whine.
IF you think they could do a better job,

Well scrape together your $10 billion and wait about a decade before you can get in line to own a franchise and then we’ll see how well you do lmao...

Havent had a moment to read this in its entirety yet so my apologies.
Not ignoring you with a response just been super duper busy crazy style ya know.
