He isn't as popular as he thinks.....especially with a torn Labrum and the going rate of at least a 1st round pick in the trade and the 23m+ he wantsso where are all these offers he should be getting from different teams??????
If we rescind the tag, do we get the comp pick if he signs with someone else?
Yes, by May 15th.
It is, however, important to note that the NFL awards comp picks and there is no base standard in place. Forgive me if I am giving info you already know here but, to my knowledge, the NFL has never awarded a comp pick higher then a third round pick and those picks come at the end of the rounds so it's likely that the best we are going to get would amount to a high 4th round pick in a normal draft. That's not a great return on investment if you are the Cowboys IMO.

That may be the move. If he won't sign the new contract or tag by May 15, I'd rescind the tag then.
He'd have to sign with a new team by May 7th, that's the deadline for free agents to count against the comp formula. I had the date wrong, it's the 7th, not 15th. Second Tuesday after the draft.
Good find.......I knew it was somewhere around 2 weeks after the draftHe'd have to sign with a new team by May 7th, that's the deadline for free agents to count against the comp formula. I had the date wrong, it's the 7th, not 15th. Second Tuesday after the draft.
If we rescind the tag and he signs with someone else, do we still get the comp pick?
I think so. But nobody is going to sign him for what he's asking...........not with a bum shoulder that hindered him the final 10 games of the season where he was mostly a non-factor. He and his agent are morons. He should have had the surgery in January.
His agent are as bright as a small flashlight with a half-burned out bulb. Had he had the surgery in January, for one, he'd probably have gotten the extension he wants.
Absolutely he'd have a contract b/c there would be no uncertainty about his availability for TC or the start of the regular season. Frankly, I think his stupidity saved the cowboys from themselves. He's not worth 20+ million per.
Agreed. And Jerry is loyal to the hilt for his players as long as they don't pull stunts like this. Now, he's put himself in a position where he's cost himself the money he seeks. I'd trade him just for that alone.
He only has until July 15th to sign the offer sheet.
If I'm the Cowboys and he hasn't signed by a date that gives adequate recovery time, then I'm rescinding the tag and he can walk.
That post just gave me chills. Seriously.Imagine worrying about paying your in his prime star DE so you can save money to pay a below average qb and a running back. What year is it?
And then say you can't set the franchise back 5 years.
Unfortunately I think that's where this is going.
