Twitter: Cowboys working out a safety today and one tomorrow

that is a fairy tale

real world All Pros cost real money

grow up Peter Pan

lol - you should cut the superior attitude because the point of my post flew over your head. The point was you can't act as if trading a 2nd rounder for ET is the equivalent of drafting ET in the 2nd round because the financial commitment is dramatically different.

No ....he was 28

Hes already 29. It doesn't matter how old he is bbefor theseason starts. He's playing a to 29.

 

[OmerV]

29 year old, my bad.

And we still have a pass rusher to pay.

ET was 28 during the draft, but turned 29 a week or two later.

No names. Nothing new.

I was talking about EThomas.....as is ........28 years old .......8.5m contract...... wants big extension

I would draft that guy at 50 in a heartbeat for this team...... he is the missing link to a top 10 D

we have the money and cap space so the contract is fine

You said I "wouldve drafted a 30 year old"

Sorry you don't like facts but he was 28 on Draft Day...... your words not mine

Plus Neal Iloka won't fit in here if you know what I mean

That's not the way your post read, but even so there variables. It's not just a matter of whether I care if Jerry spends $10-12 million a year on a player, it's how that $10-12 million will affect our ability to keep our best players and fill future holes. Accordingly, the team has to determine what those future needs and financial commitments will look like, and whether we would be better served keeping the 2nd round pick and using the money for other things, or if the immediate impact of trading for ET would be worth any risk.

 

[cristglo]

and you wasted a year

EThomas would have made the difference against GB

Thats why I said tell Seattle we give you a 3rd but if he makes all pro we will give you are 2nd IMO that would be the only way I give up a second and thats tough

Absolutely no sense of urgency at safety lol

Probably waiting for the wave of cuts to get really aggressive about it.

 

[OmerV]

That's very possible.

We don't need a lateral move...... we need a big upgrade or nothing

Reid, Vaccarro, Boston, Iloka are all minimal upgrades at best

Even if we don't do a big upgrade, it still would make sense to upgrade depth.

LLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL, wife ask why I just woke the baby!

 

[Rayman70]

He's also free next year

AND don't forget, a year older. So theres that.

 

[Rayman70]

At best if one of these no name safeties make the team it will be on special teams and bounce around on the practice squad. Unless one of these dudes is like manna from Heaven lol...it won't mean all that much in reality.

 

[cristglo]

If it wasnt for ET and Rico that wouldnt leave us much to talk about! lol
