Fish: Dallas negotiating contract with Steele

[CCBoy]

With Prescott, Lamb and Diggs seemingly topping the Cowboys list of priorities, there's an obvious trickle down effect. Look no further than Tony Pollard, who failed to ink a new deal by Monday's 4 p.m. deadline for tagged players.

That leaves Terence Steele as the only other extension candidate this offseason. The expectation was that the Cowboys would exercise a wait-and-see approach with Steele given he's coming off major knee surgery.

However, Mike Fisher of SI.com understands Steele is currently negotiating a contract that would keep him in Dallas for the foreseeable future.

Need to get better on Oline and soon, Tyron isn't going to be around long, Martin might be right behind him, Biadasz might also need to go, they need depth right now and probably a starter or two in the close future.

This would be wonderful news in my opinion. Steele has blossomed into a tireless worker and a great example for the organization. His hard work should be rewarded. And I have to think that his price tag will never be lower than it is right now coming off of injury.

True, for depth, but the Tyron and Martin departures need to be addressed in the earlier part of the draft, not with what’s left on a given late July day.

Assuming Steele returns to form we should be good at the tackles for a good while. I think Biadisz is a pretty good center and has been improving. The guard will be a concern once Tyler moves to tackle full time. Martin is fine obviously until he decides to retire, just the LG.

No to Dak until after the season....trade Diggs....NOT worth the money he is gonna command.

 

[big dog cowboy]

they need depth right now

They have it.

 

[CowboyoWales]

It seems consistent with Jerry's previous strategy, trying to get an injured UFA to sign, he can probably smell a discount tag!!

Better pay Zack Martin first. He's holding out training camp because he's viewed as way underpaid at 7 million. He does have a point.

Why did he sign that deal?

I don't know. Seems like his agent would have gotten him a better deal.

I think it’s just an old deal. When he signed it he was one of the highest paid but it’s so long ago….

Unexpected? A Steele contract has been an on and off again topic this whole offseason and pretty much a no brainer if they can agree to something both sides find reasonable

 

[Jarntt]

Why did he sign that deal?

Because it made him the highest paid Guard in the NFL?

Yeah for a week. It’s moronic to sign a long term deal in the NFL…..if you sign a long term deal and you start to suck they cut you. You sign a long term deal and you’re elite then you turn into the 9th highest paid guard and want more money. So again, why did he sign this deal?

I expected them to let him and Biadiz go honestly…..

This action could eliminate break up in the build up of another 'the wall.'

To be set for the rest of his life!!! And the rest of his kids lives

That's why it's the guaranteed $'s that matter. What's moronic is to go year to year and risk injury. It's all about total $'s. That's why players hate the tag. It's not the salary, it's the lack of a huge lump sum pay day.

 

[Risen Star]

Don't settle at RT. There are much better options than Terence Steele.

 

[Kingofholland]

I don't think this is necessarily unexpected. If true I think it just means the Cowboys weren't close on contracts with Diggs or Lamb so just moved ahead to another future priority.
