Hate to admit it: Anthony Spencer

[ShiningStar]

It is a lot of sissy trolls that hate on guys for getting hurt. Morons being morons.

Or..lets be radical here.....fans who knew he was good. ....but not what others thought he might be.......but lets not let facts get in the way

I don't know where he is getting that info. They had $7.7 million in cap room. Weeden only took up $75,000 due to the rule of 51 and it was reported yesterday that Melton was counting $1.75 million against the cap. That would give them close the $6 million left.

Over the Cap (not sure how accurate that is) has us with around $6.4 million in cap space.

With that being said, Broaddus says Spencer is nowhere near ready to play and might not be for some time. Microfracture surgery usually is a 12-16 month rehab before you can play again.

I seriously doubt Spencer would even be ready by training camp. Until he can pass a team physical, I don't offer him jack.

Wow...you read about bone bruises and the downsides of micro-fracture surgery and you wonder...long term his knee will never be the same again. The question then becomes how much can the Cowboys get out of him going forward. He is definitely on borrowed time (at 30 yrs old) going forward. From what I am reading, the cartilage formed from the surgery is not as strong as the original. Football Outsiders has a rather sobering article on it:

Where's AdamJT when you need him?

Is this like asking where a superhero is when you need them? <evil grin> I suggest we flash a huge AJT in the sky and await his return to rescue us from our confusion. LOL

But good question...where he is???

I say let's move on from what USED to be. I wouldn't touch him. I would go young (draft) and if I must sign a FA, lets get one without injury issues. I just don't like signing FAs over the age of 26-27. By the time your team has a good young core, that same player is on the way out. If this team was a 13-3 team that was going deep into the playoffs, you could sign a difference maker such as Jared Allen. However, you just shouldn't do that when the rest of the team has such glaring holes (offensive guard, offensive tackle, defensive end, 1 tech, 3 tech, FS, SS, OLB, Speed WR, RB, heir apparent to Witten, and a CB that can play both slot and outside when needed., etc..)

So why worry about Allen, Spencer or any other old or injured player. I would be more interested in some of the malcontents that want off their team. But most want $$$$$ and $$$$$$ is not something we have an abundance of at this time.

Anthony Spencer should volunteer to play for free after the Brinks truck load of cash last year didnt give the Cowboys even a dollar's worth of production.

Hahaha
