I like Tate but WOW big contract for a WR thats in his 30s
Oh my word!! That is a lot of money! I didn't realise the $23 mil was the guarantees. That is an absurd amount of money. I know he's quite good as a slot, but that is insane.
Amari Cooper will be a fun contract. Once Zeke, Prescott, and if Lawrence gets a big contract, fast forward 4-5 years, when the dead money piles up.
That FO sucks but I wouldn’t say they blew it with any of those players but Vernon. Actually, thy got a top 11-12 guard and freed up a hair of cap space with the Vernon trade IIRC. They’re idiots for not starting the rebuild last year because they could have traded Beckham without paying him this year and they could have traded Collins but Odiva has become a liability and a headache, also injury prone. Collins isn’t worth what he got. Apple is a loser, why do you think we beat the Saints? We torched Apple all night.giants signed and lost on Olivier Vernon. same for nate solder. paid thru the nose and lost out on beckham. now golden tate. blew it with apple. blew it with Collins. now that's a lousy front office. some of us don't realize how fortunate we are to have Stephen.
I agree. People want Dallas to sign they don't care about the cost but it is that cost that can alter what they are able to do with real star players on this team. Tate played like crap last season, he is all hat and no Cowboy. People can get upset I'm glad Dallas did not waste that kind of money for a mid tier player
How about Jordy Nelson? He was released.

They'll get a 3rd round compensation pick for him next year thoughI like the fact that the Eagles wasted a 3rd round pick in this years draft by trading for Tate to play half a season with them.
Yes, Cooper will probably be another to get an extension. I actually think that is the sort of reasoning for us to be as slow as we are with FA this year. I think the Joneses are quite aware of how massive the 4 of them are going to be with their contracts. Some may not be able to stay, but I reckon that they are saving quite a bit of cap for that very eventuality. I think Cooper will get extended with the fact that he did cost us a 1st round pick, and I think we're only going to get him for this year left on his contract. Therefore, Cooper is probably going to be a lock for an extension. As I said earlier, we have a bit more time with Zeke before we have to worry terribly, if I'm not mistaken. Really, it comes down to whether they value Prescott or Lawrence more.
I never had on thought of Tate coming to Dallas. And as for Tate going to NYG, nothing to talk about until they get a competent QB.
Cool, so now is time for DAL to sign a guy to match NYG move...I could go for another DT or perhaps a S.
Not sure about the contract but he's a good fit for the Giants.
Safety is where I'd reckon our next move will be. I think it might be another bit of a Covington sort of move where, not many people know who he is, but he's actually a bit of a diamond in the rough. Plus, I reckon that Richard could do a really quite good job with that sort of player. I mean, he did save Byron Jones' career, didn't he?
