Signed by Cowboys Cowboys sign WR Thompson

[Risen Star]

They are running an NFL team, sport.

Not shocking you have no understanding.

I think they are trying to move Dez now. And that's why the Hurns deal hasn't been made yet. But they would prefer to get whatever they can for him vs just cutting him outright.

I have 5 years of MMA training.

Watch out Eagles

 

[Alexander]

More perspective:

He is being paid twice as much as Butler was.

 

[unionjack8]

Pathetic.

 

[Rayman70]

They think he's better than Butler

 

[Bowdown27]

What in the blue hell is this team doing. I get looking at Hurns but signing Thompson and still wanting to sign Hurns is odd. Seems dez is on the fast track out of here if Hurns is signed which I doubt.

 

[BlindFaith]

That can save a roster spot if we cut Switzer. I do think they draft a WR high and our WR corps looks much, much better next year:

Dez
Ridley/Moore/James Washington
Beasley
TWill
Thompson
Noah Brown

They won't be cutting Switzer. I hope they are trying to trade Beasley.

And I still don't think Dez will be on this team.

I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates when he said...I drank what?

You break this out right after I had a dream where I saw myself standing in sort of sun-god robes on a pyramid with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at me.

 

[Typhus]

Im moved. Right on to another team to follow lol

Your a little late to the dance then.
If that's all it takes for you to jump ship, then you should have left when we signed Marco Rivera.

 

[KingintheNorth]

He ran a 4.3 40 at his pro day. Ran a 10.47 100 in high school and a 6.8 60-meter for the Florida track team.

So McClay probably fascinated by his metrics.

They just seem obsessed with signing the unexpected guys and hoping that when it finally pays off they will appear as football savants. I just don't feel like we're a better team than the 9-7 team we were last year. Everyone participates and attempts to get better in the draft so that's a wash. Still holding out hope for an Earl Thomas move but as of now, not feeling great about the 2018 team.

 

[Alexander]

Just bizarre to bring in two so so players.

It is not bizarre to do this when your front office is both cheap and incompetent.

 

[SportsGuru80]

A camp body.....

 

[Rayman70]

Not gonna rush to judgement..but we better have a plan because so far it looks like we are throwing darts in free agency. More moves must be coming at WR..then maybe this will give some clarity. Right now we have more questions than answers.

Where does it say we are still wanting Hurns? If we wanted him he wouldn't be in NY right now

 

[Vintage]

To put it in perspective, this player now earns more in average salary than Zack Martin.

That's because Martin is on his rookie contract.

It's no different than saying Moncrief averages significantly more than Martin, too.

If they do this, they are basically guaranteeing themselves a spot in the division basement.

Prescott throwing to Williams, Thompson, Beasley and what a rookie?

I don't blame Butler.I would be fed up too.

It was sarcasm....Ive lived thru Quincy Carter and Ryan Leaf and Jason Garrett and yet I remain. I think that should explain my loyalty

 

[KingintheNorth]

This is draft protection.
He's your 4th WR.
If a rookie beats him out he gets cut.

so $1.5M guaranteed for a guy who the team views as camp competition. I don't think so.

They are trying to appear clever and it is just asinine.
