Cowboys source, Cowboys close to deal with Osa $21 Million a year

[kskboys]

Where they getting the cash?

From the rest of the roster, as usual. Costa still around to play center?

 

[kskboys]

You are absolutely nuts. They can sign whoever they want and signing a top free agent dtackle is a good move. Osa is ranked at 7th overall at NFL.com and is the top dtackle available at PFF.

No, they cannot sign whomever they want. Silly take.

 

[kskboys]

They didn't overpay.

Yes they did.

 

[rambo2]

Yes they did.

Bs. They are paying his market value.

 

[rambo2]

No, they cannot sign whomever they want. Silly take.

Yes, they can.

 

[_sturt_]

I'm with those old enough to remember being told that Osa's 2024 had been less than satisfying. So, yeah, count me surprised by this development.

 

[kskboys]

Bs. They are paying his market value.

No, they're not.

 

[kskboys]

Yes, they can.

No, they cannot.

You must be getting paid for these takes, I mean they just don't make sense.

 

[rambo2]

No, they cannot.

You must be getting paid for these takes, I mean they just don't make sense.

Do you not understand that they can spend?

 

[rambo2]

No, they're not.

Tell us, what is his market value?

 

[rambo2]

No, they're not.

Spotrac says that his market value is 21 million.

Jalen Carter demands double and triple teams on just about every play. He makes everyone else around him better. Milton Williams and Josh Sweat should send him a percentage of their new paychecks, since they benefited from this.

Jalen Carter will be demanding a huge contract when he becomes eligible 12 months from now.

You'd love it even if they gave him 51 mil.

If this doesn’t happen, the same voices complaining about the Cowboys making this deal will be complaining that they didn’t.

You are still posting rubbish.

Go home, learn something and dont come back until something meaningful hit you.

I don't know about double teams, but ESPN has Odighizuwa 12th among DTs in pass rush win rate (Milton Williams was sixth) at 11%. Two (Chris Smith, DeForest Buckner) were tied for first at 16%. And not in the top 10 in run stop win rate. (Ten was all ESPN shows, with the best of that group 46% and worst 38%)

FWIW ESPN has OSA at a 60% pass rush double team rate. PFF has him at a 44% run play double team rate, although they havent updated their numbers through the end of the season. I still dont completely trust the stat without knowing the definition around it, but both are above average which is good to see. It doesnt tell us what type of double teams he is facing, it also doesnt tell us how well or poorly he handles the double teams, but it does acknowledge that teams are not just throwing the kitchen sink at Micah and OSA is racking up numbers from constant 1v1s. OSA seems to be drawing attention as well.

He's not a top free agent DT. He's not a Top 20 DT.

His value is only elevated because THIS IS A WEAK FA CLASS FOR DTs.

Put it another way. Let's say in this free agent class, Brandin Cooks is the best WR available? In theory, yeah, he's a top free agent WR but only because the FA class is so weak. A team would be foolish to pay him top WR money simply because he'd be the best WR available in FA.

This isn't hard.

Bs. They are paying his market value.

But market value is a meaningless term. The question is should the Cowboys be paying the inflated market value of Osi?

The answer is no. He's not a top DT. He's a nice player in maybe the 12-15MM range, at best. Paying him an AAV of over $21MM is getting into upper echelon, top DT money.

That's not him.

The more I think about this rumor the more I think 2 things. First, I don't think they are close to signing him. I think they are talking, but I also think the number is way too rich for Jerry. I just do not see how Jerry ponies up $21 million for Osa.

The second thing is, I wouldn't do it. I don't think Osa is worth it. This may be one time when I would let him walk for that kind of money. What if they can get Milton Williams, who I think is a much better player, for $24 million? or less? I'd rather have Williams that Osa any day of the week.

If signing Osa mans losing Golston and Lewis, I would rather sign Golston and Lewis. Golston should cost a lot less than Osa and could be the guy that has the better year. He has improved since his rookie year and may be ready to break out in 2025. My instinct also tells me if they sing Osa, they will not be drafting a DT in the upcoming draft. That would be a shame. While there are no standout DTs, they are a bunch who look like solid starters.

Give this story a week and it will disappear.
