Video: Fish: “Cowboys Talking to KJ Wright”

[Stash]

He plays all 3 LB positions and is a known leader, which this team needs. Money wise they can do it however it needs to be done. He's not s 10 mil a year type right now

Not disputing that at all.

My point is that this team is already significantly invested in three other linebackers already.

 

[Valkyr]

What do they pay for “insurance “?

Stephen will try and save 15% by switching to Geico.

 

[buybuydandavis]

I have to ask, where do you think we would put him?

LB is a mystery this year. Is LVE about to retire because of the neck? I can't make sense of it.

 

[Risen Star]

The league should step in at this point. Enough.

 

[buybuydandavis]

They will draft a LBer high.

Who we gonna sit of KJ Wright, LE, Jaylon, and Neal to give that high draft pick snaps? Or are we sitting the high draft pick?

 

[AbeBeta]

Wright is a winner ... he'd basically be taking Lee's role.

Right now I'm expecting Lee to join Indy either as a player or assistant coach. Likely as a player who then follows Eberflus when he get a HC opportunity

 

[Stash]

I tend to agree with this. He will probably not be worth his cap hit. Odd situation based on what the Cowboys have been doing so far, unless it’s CHEAP.

I think he’d be a great add to this team’s line backing group. BEFORE they signed Neal to play linebacker and guaranteed Smith’s contract.

 

[Kingofholland]

Fish has really been pushing this one. I don’t see how he fits? On the field or on the cap. I’d be shocked if anything happened.

2 down linebacker, can also play multiple positions, familiar with Quinn's D. Should absolutely be a fit. Certainly the financials will be a determining factor on if this will work.

From there only question is how do you rotate LBs? Neal isn't a full-time LB and likely will play a little box safety in certain packages too. Wright could play on earlier downs while Neal comes in on 3rd down. With LVEs injury concerns he could also slide to MLB if needed. Unless the Cowboys have interest in Parsons I don't see why KJ wouldn't be a player they wouldn't consider.

Good football players fit.

 

[buybuydandavis]

Are they switching to the 3-4 defense?

Even wackier than what they're doing with Jaylon. Dlaw is averaging 27mil in cap hit for the next 3 years, 44mil of dead cap right now. He's not a 3-4 OLB or DE. He's a 4-3 DE.

truth

got to make sure value is there but he makes the team better day one

 

[Stash]

It seems like Quinn isn’t fond of the current group of linebackers. He’s already kicked Jaylon out to Sam. He doesn’t want LVE inside, meaning Neal and Wright (if he’s signed) would be in the nickel, which teams run most of the time.

And LVE sits? Sorry, I can’t see it.

We need to get this done!

Signing KJ Wright is a no brainer!

If we can get him for at least 1 year to run Quinn’s defense that would be huge. His knowledge of Quinn’s defense and ability could put this defense in the top 10, with a run stuffing 1 technique and a top CB in the draft.

Restructure contracts and make this happen.

The middle LBer that lead Quinn’s defense to the #1 ranking 2 years in a row and a dominating Super Bowl win MUST be signed!!!

Please, Jerry make this happen!( I think he will, this is the splash move Jerry used to love )

If that were a possibility? I could see the rationale for this signing.

 

[Risen Star]

He may take less to come to here to play behind our DTs.

Then you’re paying starter money to four part-time linebackers. Never getting your return on investment.

 

[Stash]

Good football players fit.

Show me where.

 

[Redball Express]

Didn't MM say they're still talking to Lee about whether or not he's coming back? Don't see them bringing Lee back AND signing Wright.......so maybe it's likely either Lee or Wright.

sounds like someone is fishing....
