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

[Stash]

I'd be fine with it. Honestly though if we went that way I'd prefer to go the true 'all in' route and still spend on a good 3T. That could be OSA, or that could be a guy like Williams, whoever you like better. Give me Garrett, OSA, and Parsons all on the same DL for the next two years and I would gladly sacrifice 2027 as a rebuild year after that.

If you’re so inclined, take a look at DT Chris Williams with the Bears.

He has extensive experience with Eberfleus and is a restricted free agent.

I think he’d give a slightly lesser production than Osa at a fraction of the cost.

Sorry, I can be stubborn sometimes

No apologies necessary, I can certainly be the same way.

But in doing so, you’ve been totally respectful and I appreciate it.

21 million a year for a 4 year starting 3 tech that gave you 13.5 sacks and 28 TFLs while getting bullied in the run game.

Just monumentally idiotic.

But his advance stats, bro

I just cant see Jerry ever risking that. I would have to believe that someone would offer OSA a deal, and I think Jerry would be unlikely to match it simply because Jerry want to write up deals his way. I know the league has fixed some of the issues with the poison pill lingo from years ago on the tag offers, but a team still has to match an offer in its entirety, not just the years and AAV. We lost Randy Gregory (although a good thing) just because of an extra sentence Jerry wants in his contracts.

Since 2010 teams have offered out 128 franchise tags compared to just 6 transition tags. Teams really dont like to use them.

I was trying to look up how many times another team signed a player when he got the transition tag. I couldn't find it, but did find where a New England player received the tag and then signed a long-term deal with his team that April, so it was just temporary.

I think it is generally a deterrent without the poison pills that teams used to use. Teams don't want to spend time making an offer to a player when it can just be matched. Instead, they'd rather focus on players they know they can get with an offer to fill their need.

"Nonsense" is a post offering nothing but chastising others for not being as credulous as you are. OK...I get it...you can't help but bend the knee so any analysis - critical analysis - hurts your feelings. I'm sure you'll get over the fact that I don't think Osa is worth a $21mm contract...if not...oh well...

Have no problem when the criticism is valid. Whinnying cause your team hasn't won in 30 years, while ignoring that you have been in the top 10 in the league over a 20 year stretch(2004-24) will not fly with me.
