Hahahahaha! Here we go again with this crap

“linked to”. Simply by people on the internet only

I don't really understand it. Everyone should know by now that the Joneses have gone cheap. I don't know if the reason players get linked to us is because it generates hits/clicks or just because we have such a big fan base that rumors buzz around so much that they start being taken as fact.

I think they know Cowboys = clicks.

And I’m sure Matthieu’s agent would like it to look like other teams are involved in pursuing his client as well to up the asking price.

The Falcons are going to want more than that in return.
A 2nd and a 5th - and the Cowboys can keep Hill.
No. Please send them Hill. Heck I don’t care if we get anything back for him. He stinks. He doesn’t even make a decent team’s roster

This fanbase is weird....they complained about Lawrence, Zeke, etc. deals but want them to do the same with Gregory, Kearse, etc.
First off I’m fine “losing” Gregory and would love Mathieu over Kearse. But, your comparison is off base. The issue many had with Zeke and Lawrence’s contract was that they were paid as the top or near top players the league. Gregory and Kearse are nowhere near that. Different discussion

A holdover from the Garrett/Marinelli regime.
With all the baggage Hill has carried since his college days- wonder why the plug hasn't been pulled on him.

What do you mean? Gregory just got paid too DE money….and we don’t know what Kearse has been offered but I doubt he’s looking for a 1 year 4 million dollar deal.

Top DE money?

I don’t call $14 M per year top DE money

I suspect (hope?) it will be this year
