News: Greg Hardy To Visit Cowboys Tuesday / Stephen Jones says with intent to sign

[USMarineVet]

This is one thing I NEVER listen to from a reporter, contract before it is signed. They have absolutely no idea what the contract will be, they have no inside information unless some ******* leaked it. You have the Jones family, Hardy's agent, or Hardy himself. None of them I think would tell Hill.

That's why he said "most likely", he has no idea; just thinks he does.

I agree with you, but this does make sense.

It allows the Cowboys to see how he fits in and performs after having played only one game last season. And it allows Hardy to put his potential suspension behind him, be a good citizen and hopefully play at the level he was at before he was placed on the exempt list and command a long term contract with a big payday.

Hopefully if this deal gets done it will be an incentive laden contract with windows open for the Cowboys to lock him up on say a 4 or 5 year extension if all pans out. Ideally you would want to get him on the cheap now over x amount of years but Rosenhaus knows his potential and is going to want to reopen the market for him if all goes well for him this season. On the other hand the Cowboys have to protect themselves in the event things go sour.

If we do sign him on a 1 year, and decide to extend him long-term in the future, it will be interesting to see how we structure both he and Dez moving forward while continuing our pursuit of a cap-friendly environment.

Gurley doesn't have the stamina to be a great RB in the NFL. Ever see how he looks after 10-11 carries? He's the bust of the draft is my prediction.

Go with Gordon, Coleman, or Yeldon.

Ajayi

I don't know if we ended up with Gordon I'd still be dancin in the street.
This is a excited board today

Wait... where is 13.1 coming from?

That was his salary this year under the franchise tag with CAR. If DAL tagged him it would count as the second time even though it was different teams. He would be owed 120% of his salary or the DE tag rate(13.1m), whichever is higher

 

[MRV52]

Oh, rumor has it Sam Bradford has asked to be traded back out of the division.

Thats not what I heard. He blew out his ACL again when he heard Hardy was coming to Dallas.

Oh okay... I always thought that only happened with consecutive franchise tags but makes sense I suppose.

Isn't there a provision that requires him to actually play more than one game for the tag to count? If there isn't, there should be. I know that's some fine print stuff there but somebody's getting hosed on that deal.

Didn't he play one game last year?

I agree. I am not getting the big deal about Gurley. I think Coleman will be the best back in this draft when we look back on it.

 

[USMarineVet]

Didn't he play one game last year?

Yeah.. That's what I'm saying.. My point is.... let's pretend he did play the whole season last year. There's no guarantee that he would have performed equally or better than he did the previous 2 seasons. Hence, how does he merit an increase on his second tag when he only played one game on the first? -smh

Idk.. fuzzy math to me. I don't foresee this situation ever happening, but if it does and there isn't a rule in place regarding how many games a player has to play in order for the tag to be effective, I'm sure it will be revisited by the rules committee once all the hubbub starts.

"It’s just the Kraken," Hardy said. "Mystical. It’s where he lives at."

I told him he may* be mixing his stories. The Kraken is a mythical sea creature and Hogwarts is from a series of J.K Rowling fantasy novels.

"I can do whatever I want," he said. "I’m the Kraken. If you feel like you can ask the Kraken personally where he goes to school at, and prove me wrong, then I feel like I’ll change it."

I think I'm in love.

 

[MrMavsMan]

Then why isn't everybody offering to trade for Peterson?

because of his massive contract. I can bet you money if he had a 4 or 5 mill a year contract every team would be lining up right now.

 

[MrMavsMan]

AP was a great RB and will be for a couple more years Gurley will be a great RB for seven or eight more years

noone really knows this, I remmeber everyone said trent richardson woudl be the exact same and then everyone made fun of the browns for making that trade at first and look at t-rich, 3rd overall pick and being labeled a bust.

no question about that but thats the nature of the game
that doesn't change AP and his window

 

[ConstantReboot]

I pray to the Football Gods that we will sign Hardy and has a star on his helmet. Best news I've heard all day.

Oh, you're so cryptic, Fish.
