   Greg Hardy visiting #Cowboys but no agreement in place. Negotiations continue with Dallas, #Seahawks and #Bucs, per sources

He has Seattle tentatively and then possibly Tampa Bay.

If he makes it out of Dallas, that is usually not a good sign. Shades of what happened with Jared Allen last year.

 

[khiladi]

Yes. It's about the emphasis in player acquisition an organization places on that mentality.

There are a lot of guys in a lot of locker rooms who aren't RKGs but stick around because they have otherworldly natural gifts.

I don't see those guys in this Dallas locker room. For instance... Nick Fairley isn't a RKG and we showed no interest in him despite him being a supreme talent at a position of need.

Because every coach in the league wants an ego-driven guy who plays for himself, not the team.

It's nothing but coach-speak. There is nothing unique about RKG. This idea that it means something special is rooted in the myth of Dallas needing a culture change during the Wade era, because the guys were allegedly running wild at Valley Ranch.

 

[BigStar]

OK, one more time, per Garrett's own words.

http://sportsblogs.star-telegram.co...t-kind-of-guy-and-says-ego-is-part-of-it.html



So basically, what Garrett defines as RKG is pretty much what every coach in the world wants as a player.

He likes players that like to play football (RKG) What's so hard to understand that every player fits RKG in some fashion bc of how vague the term is?

Tuned in for Greg Hardy, stayed for Kelsey Charles.

 

[Alexander]

The RKG thing will change once talent and passion for football trump the character issue.

 

[Corso]

oh you know what happened?
please enlighten us, with details.

Don't go there. Whole threads have been shut for periods because of getting into this realm...

 

[erod]

He's headed to visit Seattle.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Do NOT start yet another argument about whether he did or did not commit crimes. That argument is not what this thread is about.

 

[Stash]

Why not both?

Talked me into it!

(Although I wouldn't mind Odighizuwa there, even after Hardy is signed, if Gurley is gone.)

[cowboyfan4life_mark]

Don't forget we'll need about $3M for the rookie class and a buffer of $3-4M for the season.

I still feel that will come from Carrs contract. Either pay cut or June 1st cut.

 

[Corso]

It will change from what to what?

 

[DBOY3141]

Money would be the only factor with Bucs. No shot of winning for a few years. If he leaves, I don't think he will be coming back.

 

[Alexander]

It will change from what to what?

The idea people seem to have that "Right Kind Of Guy" means choir boy.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

The RKG thing will change once talent and passion for football trump the character issue.

Anyone who thought that RKG meant guy who never or never has got in trouble is fooling themselves.

RKG means whatever the coach (not just this one) GM, and ownership wants it to mean.

What are they saying?

at this point of FA, you get numb to what is happening or even in our case, not. you tire of the blow by blow rumor by rumor details that people seemingly must go through as if each bit of crap on the net is valid and true.

i'm hoping this one is and not just because i'm an 80s arcade dude with stargate in my dining room.

 

[therock1982]

have to tip my hat to the fo.
I think they have played a very dangerous game here but it seems like it might well pay of in a big way.
They sat back and let all the 2nd tier guys like morgan and sheard (both of whom i was dissapointed not to get) go to the pass rush needy teams.watched hardys spossibe suitors grow thinner and thinner and when hardy was starting to get a little nervous about his career they seem to have swooped in.
Well played fo well bloody played
Now seal the deal!!!!

 

[Nation]

Can't let him out of the building without a contract or he's a goner
