DeMarcus Lawrence feels disrespected according to Jane Slater

[aikemirv]

Getting $20 million guaranteed while the other guys get $80 million is.

Well that is not the accurate comparison is it? We don't know what the offer was? If he wanted Mack money, then he should go try to find a team that is willing to give up 2 #1's for him as well. He will be searching a long while!

This has been obvious for a while now.

The Witten thing might have been the very last straw.

I know if I played with my arm hanging off for an entire year while Witten did nothing and came right back in like he never left, I would be a little miffed.

If he is so insecure that someone signing a $3m contract pissed him off, then he’s not mentally fit to be playing football

 

[Stash]

Let the family take their hard earned vacation. They have really been workin' hard selling this idea that they are "all in" and are not satisfied.

I am sure that is very draining for them.

"So long suckers!"

 

[glimmerman]

If I am him then I get my shoulder fixed and sign the 20. Play lights out and get paid next year.

Again, a lot of people seem to think that NFL players are smart, rational and mentally sound individuals.

I will bet you a 1000 situps on my driveway and a bleached mustache that they are not.

The news would be if Slater reported he doesn't feel disrespected.

It doesn't make me feel sorry for him, just like it wouldn't make me feel sorry if Stephen was saying he feels disrespected from his perspective.

It's a negotiation. It's a process. It's normal.

Well then, tell us what the Cowboys offer was then?

You're obviously assuming that they were paying big money to excuse them of any part in this mess. But I guess it's OK to assume there, isn't it?

LOL!!! The annual Jones family vacation. Scheduled during the opening of free agency strictly by happenstance every year since 2012.

Wait until you get to see the family photos. With everyone in matching clothes.

And Jerry Jones holding a football.

Then look for the special players. They are there too.

 

[CouchCoach]

If he thinks he's as good as Mack and Miller, he may have been hiding in the background of David Irving's "Retirement" video.................cuz HE'S HIGH AS BLEEP if he thinks that. Even at 30, I'd take Von Miller over DLaw any day.

But if stats are used as the measuring stick, he has better numbers than they do and has been every bit as important to his team as they have been theirs.

This is every bit the same as the reasoning for giving Prescott that fat deal, it is a product of the market and it is rising for QB's and pass rushers. And evidently mid level OL as well with that deal OAK gave the other Brown.

What the hell is Tony Romo doing there?

 

[JeffInDC]

He actually has more sacks than Von Miller over these past two years, being a complete defensive end and not a pass rush specialist, so there is that...

When the 'Boys needed him the most in that Rams game, where was he? When the Broncos need Von Miller in some big games (like SB50), what did he do. DLAw is really good.............Miller is a game wrecker - and, has been so much, much longer.

"Can't wait!!!" (in my Bart Scott voice)

 

[glimmerman]

LOL.

So they are on vacation again for the start of free agency?

I love these guys.

I would be doing my negotiating from the boat. Have D-Law and his agent on the boat. Bring in some ladies and booze.

Let me know when Miller's coach's antiquated schemes are telling the opponent exactly where he will be on every play. Maybe then you'll have a valid point?

What the hell is Tony Romo doing there?

This was a few years ago. When he was an active player.

But it goes to show you that there are haves and have nots with this organization.

Is that Wade Wilson to the left of Booger? And where are his hands?

Someone is very curiously missing from that photo.....................hmmmmm

Witten got $2million, though. Lawrence wants 8-10X that. Much more to consider there, if you're in the front office

 

[The Quest for Six]

Getting $20 million guaranteed while the other guys get $80 million is.

He'll make more than half of that in just two years under the franchsie tag!

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

I think you could make a solid argument of paying Lawrence even before Zeke.
