Twitter: Cowboys Signing Aldon Smith to 1-yr/$4M Deal (must be reinstated first)

[dragon_mikal]

Whatever.

Quinn is another irresponsible drunk. And what happened after Dallas signed him...He got suspended for taking steroids.

We traded for Robert Quinn when the Dolphins wanted to shed salary. He just signed a large contract with the Bears. I’m unsure what Quinn your referring to.

Edit: never mind I remember now lol your right.

So the anti-Dezzers were saying Dez was too old, but now they are ecstatic about the 30+ year olds McCarthy has been bringing in lately?

 

[garyv]

damn. That was even better

Do you know what we need now "David Irving" ohhh baby Gregory, Aldon Smith and David Irving

 

[Risen Star]

So your saying that you never saw any upside, talent, in Gregory,,no ceiling?
Smith busted out of the turnstiles as soon as he was drafted, its rare to see that type of immediate impact, even from a first round talent, that quickly.

I don't care about upside or potential in a player who spent years in the NFL. At some point you have to do it. Randy Gregory was supposed to be a top 10 value in the draft. Some were saying top 5. I never saw that ability as a Cowboy.

you know which quinn I am talking about, yes they traded for him. Then he tried to mask his steroid use and got caught and missed two games.

RD1: CB
RD2: Slot WR

Book it

IMO this move doesn't really change things if they love a DE. If they think Chaisson is a top ten talent but is there at 17, I think they still take him.

CB is definitely a need but I think everything else could be BPA. There should be slot WRs available later in the draft and I wouldn't be afraid to go to camp with Devin Smith, Cedric Wilson and Noah Brown competing for that spot. Not optimal, but I wouldn't freak out.

It doesn't matter, Qwinthy. What one has done vs the other is irrelevant. Just like Jimmy Johnson preached years ago before you fell in love with the Cowboys in 2001. When you're actually a good player you'll get more slack.

It was a terrible comparison. You should play checkers with whoever tweeted that. You might win.

Just cause you didn't understand the comparison, doesn't make it horrible.

Two RDE with off field issues and someone making sure others know the difference between their offenses and you can't comprehend it.

As has been said, WE UNDERSTAND THAT YOU DON'T GET THINGS AND THEY GO OVER YOUR HEAD. Just let it be Brittany. You babble like a little school girl when you've lost.

 

[buybuydandavis]

Zero. Nothing to lose.

Why not take a flier?

You got a link for this? This should settle the discussion. We got rights for nothing up front.

All upside, no downside. Let the whining cease!

I survived the earthquake in Idaho last night....only to have this rock my world. Aldon Smith had 19.5 sacks in 2012. Nine freaking seasons ago....yet someone still thinks he has potential.

Jerry Jones is doing his best Al Davis impersonation tonight.

You seem really shook over that earthquake.

 

[Risen Star]

Dorance Armstrong has got to be beyond pissed. All he does when he is on the field is produce...yet...he's always being tried to be replaced. Wouldn't shock me if he asks for his release.

I can't even imagine the bidding war if Armstrong is on the market.

No no no, I remember now. I was thinking you meant after he left Dallas and that threw me off. Your right.

 

[WeDemBoyz]

Aldon Smith was on his way to becoming an all time great DE before he derailed his career.

 

[Corso]

Just blew my brains into noodles, I ain't gonna lie.

What is the loss?
What is the effect on the cap at all, just to retain the rights to at the very least take a look?
Is there someone so vastly superior on this roster that Gregory is blocking at the moment?
After the draft maybe the entire landscape changes, maybe Smith and Gregory are gone after camp.
Why does having either on the roster at this point anger you.

 

[Risen Star]

So we lose a legit player in Quinn, our best pass rusher by far last year, and our response is to count on two guys who hope to be reinstated this year.

Quality front office work being done down there in Frisco.

McCoy still produces? Poe does too? Akron Smith I cant defend tho lol

 

[cowboy_ron]

The sad part is that it's looking more and more likely there may not even be a season this year....finally beefing up the defense and it might be for naught.

Because it directly impacts what they do at the position. Meaning if no Gregory or Smith were available the Cowboys would have to find a real option.

Is that cool? Let me know if I can still feel this way.

The NFL does not see it that way at all. They have publicly stated they are moving forward with the season. Hopefully for all of us there is a season and everything returns to normal.
