Signed by Cowboys Cowboys & Von Miller have agreed to terms - 1-year, $5.5M deal

[doomsday808]

Question is, what number is Luepke going to end up with?

For the price tag (as outlandish as it may appear to mere mortals), it's tough to paint this acquisition as a negative.

Everyone clamored for Jerry & Stephen to get off their arses & DO something this offseason. What naysayer among you is now willing to assume the podium and claim they haven't?

I think the team is as "all-in" as "all-in" can be this year.

Don't know if I'd go that far. Most of these signings are low-end expensewise, the trades are third-day value trades, etc. I'm pleased with the direction overall, but I don't buy it as all-in. The Rams trading for All-Pro Myles Garrett and signing the All-Pro Trent McDuffie is more what I consider "all in." But you did say as all in as this team can be, and that's probably true.

Are people really saying 5.5M is expensive in today’s NFL? Cmon man.

If its more then the Vet min, its too much for Cowboyszone.

Miller has worn 58, 40 and 24, so I guess it's a question of what number does he want. 58 is currently worn by Isaiah Land, 40 by Luepke and 24 by Hooker.

I think he should take 37 from Phil Mafah and wear it proud.

We don't have a 15 sack guy on the roster.

There were only 3 players in the NFL last year with 15 or more sacks.

I'll bet you can't name all 3 and I will spot you one with Garrett. No cheating!

You are right….I can’t. But I know none of them made it to the Super Bowl. It isn’t important to have one stud. Having multiple threats that can get pressure is much more important. You can scheme against one guy.

Inwould guess pass rushers besides Garrett were the guy for Denver and one of the guys from the Texans. How did I do?

Edit…I had to go check…there were actually 5. Garrett, Hunter(Hou), Burns, Bonitto(Den), Anderson(Hou).

I wa thinking Hunter and Bonitto with my original guess.

Wow, that is cheap. He really is Miller Lite. No conflict there, Miller Lite is the official Beer of the Dallas Cowboys.

Since he wanted to be here so much, maybe we will get lucky and he will be exceptionally inspired. A hell-bent Miller would be a difference-maker. Things could rapidly get interesting...

ALL of the Cowboyszone? Everybody? Really?

I think he takes 43 for now, and can probably pick another number after cut down day. Probably 58. Another thing is Sieg can get 47, Luepke 44 and Miller 40 after all is said and done, which is probably what will eventually happen.

Miller wore 58 most of his career with Denver I believe. He can take that number and they can give Isaiah Land 43 and be done with it.

I just wrote that in another thread. I agree with that. Based on Miller wearing 40 in Buffalo and 24 in Washington, I don't think he cares that much what number he has. He might switch to the 58 if Land is cut, but I don't think he has to have it.

Maybe Land will volunteer to give 58 up, though, in deference to Miller. Not sure how attached he is to it.

Would love to see Luepke in the 44. Robert Newhouse was a favorite to watch back in the day. Set the standard for what I expected from a fullback as a young kid.

yes absolutely 100%. How could you, SteveTheCowboy, demand such a ludicrous amount for such a talented player? For shame Steve. For shame
