Twitter: Dallas finalizing deal with DE Everson Griffen

[speedkilz88]

If Goodell and Mara are "conspiring" against us, I guess this is Jerry's way of saying, "Checkmate."

Watch Randy get reinstated tomorrow.

 

[Ranching]

Will you look at that.

If only Heath had stayed!! Lol

Shut yo mouf!!!!!!

 

[BermyStar]

Gona watch some Vikings games on Gamepass now to get extra exited!

 

[J12B]

Can we cut ty craw now please

Exactly.

Or at the very least take a pay cut.

 

[jazzcat22]

why? We have cap space for both apparently. Cut Crawford next year.

I think this is his last year on his contract anyway. Not sure.

 

[Denim Chicken]

Since he is a fa after the season, wouldn't that contract be off the books at the start of the league year in 2021.

Yes, but you're still using the $8 mil this year. If you release him or he takes a cut you save the difference and roll it to next year.

Gregory is but an afterthought. But i do wonder what this means for Tyrone Crawford. The pie needs be made larger before another slice can be doled out.

 

[quickccc]

Idc right now hes a $9m dollar below average rotational player

Just would not make sense to keep on a 9 million dollar backup that is gonna be squarely a nickel rotation DT.
You just don't do that for the sake of locker room presence and Tyrone is not gonna be an experienced full time starter
contributor like Gerald McCoy,

Because as long as you are at 89% of the cap you get rollover for next year. #cuttycraw

Sadly, Crawford isn’t going anywhere. He will play his final year out

 

[iceberg]

Wow. Wonder if this the end of Gregory in Dallas?

Anywho. Great offseason for this team. New leader, great draft and a very good FA.

in 30 years people will still say gregory is going to get reinstated THIS YEAR.

I'm not so sure. Even less room at the inn right now. Crawford no longer has a place. Certainly not at $9 million.

Quinn had a few more sacks but Griffen had a lot more solo tackles which is nice.

Curious to see how much of an upgrade he’ll be over Quinn without getting all homer giddy about this signing and doing the typical thing most people here do when someone leaves “they sucked anyways”.

An afterthought in whose mind ?
Those that have an agenda of wanting him off the team because of his past marijuana suspensions ?

what if Griffen gets hurt, and alden takes a step back with off field DUI or domestic issues, and you dont' wanna
depend upon a rookie who still has to learn run defense (bradley anae) .. gregory's depth still comes in quite handy.
Take advantage of quality availability.

There is going to be a lot of competition at that RDE spot this year... and that is always good for the team.

Very nice pickup.

At this point it's about the pie.

Griffen could take a step back too, he’s no Gregory and he’s no Alden but he has baggage.
