CW: DJ Reader Projected to be Cowboys Target

[stilltheguru]

Because Reader is an immediate upgrade over what we have. I mean this isn't even all that debatable at this point.

Reader makes sense because 1) he'd clearly be our best run stopping DT 2) he's only under contract for 2025 so if you can get him in a cheap trade he gives you insurance for this year against Mazi not living up to the hype again and allows you to not have to count on 7th round rookies to make an impact and can take the year to develop.

It's not about being emotional. The problem is that some fans are too loyal to what we have. What we have at DT is bottom barrel in this league even with Osa signed.

The eagles lb room was bottom of the barrel last year too........until the season started. Nobody is being loyal by saying wait and see before spending draft capital but some of you refuse to grasp that.

I hate these articles that are based hopes and dreams. We never sign who we "should" sign.

Im only interested in hearing about tangible interest

That’s one of the hazards of being a Cowboy’s fan. They are always good for clicks.

Cleveland fans dream of having that problem.

Most of our players are being paid league min.

1M

I don’t see them spending what little cap is left on a big FA

Edit on contract details above. Our cap hit with Reader would be closer to $8MM. Those incentive/game bonuses are calculated differently.

That pays for 8 Joe Milton’s.

There is plenty of money to buy a good FA; don;t fall for that lack of cap crap

You realize we have well over 30 million in cap space right

LOL, what you propose is wishful thinking.

Of course you don’t throw a prime pick at them. But if you can get Reader for like a 4th rounder?

Hell yeah. We are that weak at DT.

I notice he fully buys into the cap poverty Little Enos is forever crying about
