Daron Payne Questions

[Stak78]

#1 Should Daron Payne be our number one target in free agency?
#2 Is he a true 1 technique or more of a 3 technique?
#3 Would we cut/trade DLaw to make cap room for Payne? DLaw is still a solid end, but is he worth his super star salary?
#4 Would Daron Payne help take our defense to the next level?

He played 87% of the snaps in 2022.

Pure 1techs generally play less than 60%.

He had 11-1/2 sacks in 2022. Has a pure 1tech every had that many sacks?

DLaw: In order to get him to take a pay cut (before the 2021 season) they guaranteed his contract for 3 years from that point forward.

Daron Payne: Yes, he would be the perfect DT for the Cowboys.

1. Yes should be. He’ll be one of the best free agents available.
2. 1 tech
3. No, DLaw would be kept. Different position and he’s still good.
4. Wouldn’t hurt. I love the player.

He and Hankins please!

Yes Payne would be tremendous . No I would not cut # 90 at all . Look to rid the Schultz salary first , clean out the RB room , if it means you move on from LVE . Yes to Payne .

 

[805BoysInBlue]

Have you seen D laws contract? Theses morons doubled down.

 

[AsthmaField]

I will say this though: it is no coincidence that his best year came in a contract year. He has been accused (by Washington fans) of not always playing at 100% full effort. I’m not sure how true that is, but it gives me pause before giving him a huge free agency contract.

OSA Hankins Watkins and Payne with Bohanna still developing . Good bye Gallimore .

Yes
Yes lol. To me he can be both, just a beast.
No, we can do everything and keep Dlaw.
Yes

Galli was absolutely terrible this year, there is no chance he is with the team this year.

 

[RonWashington]

Then you have DLaw Armstrong and Williams at edge . If you could bring in Payne at DT then go out get another edge rounds 3-5 . Makings of a nice front . LB needs some draft attention unless Devin Harper along with Clark jump up . Jabril Cox total mystery possible bust if he doesn’t step up year three .

How much would we be willing/able to pay Daron Payne? What would it take to sign him? 20-25 million a year?

 

[speedkilz88]

If you were in charge of the Washington team though. Wouldn't Payne be the guy you tag?

 

[jwitten82]

We'd get outbid by another team, we all know that.

 

[fivetwos]

Payne is going to get BIG money, and who says Washington isn’t going to tag him?

They don’t have cap problems and they are just going to let him walk? Doubtful.

It would be tough to land this player even if we weren’t cheap in free agency.

Now….let’s say we drafted him and he was the same player he is, but the team had the same results…they would back up the truck to keep him here. It’s insane.

I’m hopeful for Dalvin Tomlinson, who they should have signed two years ago. He will get like 2/20, but even that’s too much for a non Dallas draftee.

You’re getting the next Carlos Watkins, or actually Carlos Watkins, and that’ll be that.

 

[Beast_from_East]

LOL..............you guys still thinking Cap Boy is going to sign a stud free agent

Cap Boy dont roll like that, he will find a free agent or two sitting on their couch once the season starts, nice and cheap is how Cap Boy rolls.

 

[dagreat1_87]

You clearly meant upcoming free agent paron dayne, the 2017 7th rounder who is about to turn the corner in his career that we'll sign for 1.5 mil. That's who Stephen is eyeing

DLaw: In order to get him to take a pay cut (before the 2021 season) they guaranteed his contract for 3 years from that point forward.

Daron Payne: Yes, he would be the perfect DT for the Cowboys.

Yes a boy named Suh had 10 sacks as a rookie. Kevin Williams had +11 sacks 2nd year in the NFL. Fletcher Cox, Chris Jones, Dan Hampton, Calais Campbell all had multiple 10 sack seasons playing a lot of 3 tech.

Finally the greatest DT of all time and Mr. Cowboy, Bob Lilly did it multiple times. Because of the flex defense some say he was not a ture 1 tech but go look at the videos.

If you are a great DT, the technique does not matter. This defense need DTs that can keep the OL off the linebakers, stop the run, and rush the passe with pressure up the middle.

Carlos Watkins actually played pretty darn good in the playoffs.
