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

I'm so confused

 

[DOUBLE WING]

This is so very unlike my beloved Cowboys to pin their hopes on a recovering addict.

 

[jblaze2004]

hmmm atleast we are kicking tires. I would get ride of crawford now...Use the money saved by booting crawford on his deal. But man he didn't play in what 4 years. BTW speaking of someone not playing in 2 years is Randy Gregory still a cowboy lol

The 4 million is as surprising as the signing itself. Perhaps there were other teams involved??

4 million seems crazy, so I have to believe there were other bidders. But we have the space, so why not.

 

[DCBoysfan]

How did he get 4 million?? WTH this has got to be an April fools joke

Very good question!

Jay Glazer’s been training him.

Article from January:

https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/01...oping-for-another-chance-with-nfl-report/amp/

Glazer, an NFL insider for Fox Sports who trains NFL players in mixed martial arts, claims Smith is sober and working out regularly at a West Hollywood gym. Furthermore, Glazer says Smith is working with military veterans.

“Aldon’s great because Aldon’s been working out with our (veterans) in our MVP program every single Wednesday night,” Glazer told TMZ Sports. “Aldon has been sober for a while and he’s been helping a lot of our vets with their sobriety.”

didn't the raiders cut him?

Hes gotten sober since then and turned his life around, per Jay Glazer, who doesn't put false **** out there. I'm downright giddy about this signing. If Aldon Smith can become 3/4 the player he once was and Randy Gregory can finally play a whole season and continue where he left off on the field, this D-Line could be scary...

Happy he turned his life around, I was sure he was headed to prison after that airport incident.

Wasting money on a player who hasn’t played in years. I like the other FA moves they made, but I don’t like this one. There are still some other players left in free agency that could help us.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Rather have brought back Irving tbh

 

[CowboyRoy]

No April fools here. Wow.

When will this nonsense end?

 

[Typhus]

Cant wait for the Aldon Smith and Gregory locker mate buddy posts to start.

 

[Bowdown27]

How old is he? I have so many questions lol how did this come about? How in the hell do you make this decision

 

[GenoT]

Randy Gregory, Aldon Smith, David Irving (maybe)...who knows how many others?

“You’re gonna need a bigger bong.”

 

[Clove]

This is a great signing.

Greg Hardy Part Deaux? Arrested on a domestic violence incident in 2018. Talented but very troubled.

Heck I would bring him back to on a low prove it deal. Having that can of depth would be free would be crazy......if it works out.

Does that mean Dallas is targeting corner and safety with the first 2 picks instead of a guy like Chaisson?

It's 2 with 2 more in incentives.

It's a 2 million base. Other 2 come with sacks incentives
