Gotta wonder how many 2nd chances Gene Jones has given Jerry...

LLLOOOLLL

Risen beat me too it, but we have Gregory, Aldon, Crawford, Armstrong and whoever else trying to man the RDE side. Ok then.

It's better to have and not need then to need and not have. You have to have dept to over come injuries.

 

[JW82]

holy crap. that could be a huuuuuuge pickup if he's half the player he used to be

Yeah. Low risk. Potential high reward.

The talent is Aldon and Gregory. The stable fallbacks are Crawford and Armstrong. The long shot is Jalen Jelks. I think we're done here until we see how it shakes out.

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.

You paid D Law huge money. You paid McCoy and Poe solid money. You can’t give a huge deal to a RDE, so Clowney and Griffen are unrealistic. So you go with a cheap committee of Crawford (hopefully restructured), Gregory and Smith. And hope they pan out. Or you draft one high. Or both.

I love a good story and redemption sequel. Even better because he is not a JG type of guy. For the last couple of years I've been begging this team to sign some tough and fundamentally sound players. I'm not going to complain now because at least the new coaching staff is doing "SOMETHING".

It like the old saying: Nothing happens until something moves. Well friends, this coaching staff is moving. The only thing that would shock me is if they signed Abi Masatora as a 1 technique. But seriously, I like the fact that they are turning over every stone. It never hurt to look. Aldon Smith could probably give more or the same as a 1 DE draft pick for a minimum of 1 year.

how about the old saying, past behavior is an indicator of future behavior?

He bit his Gf's wrists and held her against her will....This is the opposite of tough to me. The Ultimate sign of weakness. Jerry loves to talk about second chances when all he is really doing is buying low because he is cheap.

How does someone like that command that much money?

Gotta dumpster dive when you overpay QBs.

Who?

Is this a trick question?
Sorry if it is....sometimes I cant tell..
Surely you know who this former 1st All Pro pass rusher is

 

[big dog cowboy]

Love this signing. I mean I LOVE this signing.

Stephen signs him to a perfect deal also.

Cowboys Nation should be pretty happy with this news.

They would be dumpster diving if Dak was in the first year of his rookie deal. In fact they were back then to.

You should know better than this by now.

Yeah, 5 years ago. I think he has more arrests than years of service in the NFL.

Well he looked like the next great pass rusher 8 years ago. This is a very Cowboys esche type signing. Former 1st rounder as a reclamation project. Happy to take a flyer, RDE will be quite the experiment between Gregory and Smith.

I'm not sure we should mentioned experimenting when it comes to Gregory and Smith.

LLLOOOLLL, Catch the bed catch.

People, fans, can judge these moves as either being positive or negative,, it doesn't really matter.
I can tell you one thing is for sure though,, this defense is a much faster unit than it was just a few months ago.
Does that mean anything... IDK
But I bet Jimmy would agree,, just give him a call, hes on his boat fishing, but he will answer,, bet he tells ya yep.. sign speed and let the rest work itself out.

Risen beat me too it, but we have Gregory, Aldon, Crawford, Armstrong and whoever else trying to man the RDE side. 2 we are hoping Roger is in a good mood for old jerrah for trying to run him out of town to reinstate. Ok then.

Don’t you think Jerry has more inside information on reinstatement of Gregory and Smith than we do?
