Dez himself says he'll miss time if no deal

[Cowboys20]

Buy Life Insurance....

No, AFLAC.

All good. but if it bothers the Jones family so much, trade him. move on from him. how about that?

how about they do what they are doing? pay him the amount the CBA says to retain his rights.

if he wants to show the world he is about money, then he can show us that.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Why is this the discussion? Why is the organization doing a monumentally stupid move the option to be discussed. I don't get it?

Because they can pay him year to year with no risk.

 

[Eric_Boyer]

Because they can pay him year to year with no risk.

they still are taking on risk.

the 12 million is guaranteed. that is a hell of a lot of risk.

 

[Doomsday101]

Im not arguing to sign this guy to a CJ contract, im saying Stephen has to loosen up a bit and get this deal done. Thats all. Im not saying lets screw our cap for the next 10 years, im saying Jerry has to come in and get it done. Personally im not even worried about hurting ourselves later on because the cap keeps going up anyways. I dont know why that hasnt been discussed.

Over then next 2 years Cowboys have a boat load of FA 22 of them in 2016 and 26 FA in 2017. Managing the cap consist of looking down the road not 1 year alone

 

[erod]

I am going to bet he dressed for games...when his back was screaming to rest...and if he plays for the franchise tag...he might listen to his back...as opposed to gutting it out

Then let's pay him a billion dollars so he'll try hard.

Geez. If that's who he is, I don't want him. That's NOT who he is.

Not really. One season and 12 million is chump change. No cap hit later either, so no messy restructures in case he's hurt.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

I think the key here is who is coming on on a contract next year? The big problem in using the Tag on Dez would be if we had another player coming up for a contract next year who we needed to use the tag on. That would be a huge problem for us and then, both players would have all the leverage next season.

chump change is ridiculous.

12 million is a ton of money. Dez could beat up his mom tomorrow and never play again. the owners are taking on a huge amount of risk, certainly more then Dez is taking on.

TCrawford would be the only one. But I think they can get him signed with a medium offer.

Hardy can't be tagged and Claiborne is a no way.

He's human. he has feelings.

I can't think of any current player that might need the tag next year. You have any ideas who?

First off he hasn't signed the tag, it isn't guaranteed yet.

And getting arrested or suspended means DAL would get some money back in fines.

Relative to any other contract there is very little risk.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Denver is in this situation with Thomas. I think that's why he gets a deal done. They have Von Miller coming up on a contract next year and he is going to get paid top money. They almost have to get something done with Thomas this year if they don't want to be in a position where they could lose one of the two next year.

 

[5Stars]

He's human. he has feelings.

So are the rest of the team.

false

 

[Doomsday101]

Yes he does and he will be paid very well for his service. I hate to tell you even in pro sports 12.8 mill for a season is a hell of a lot of money, it is top 5 money.

 

[Nightman]

that's his problem.



false

so they should never sign another contract under your rosy view of things

 

[AmericasTeam81]

Is the notion "being only about money" exclusive to the NFL?
