Gregory
Emmanuel Ogbah (Age 28, 6'4", 270) signed a two year, $15 million contract with the Dolphins. Ogbah received $7.5 million in guarantees.
Leonard Floyd (Age 29, 6'6", 244) signed a one year, $10 million contract with the Rams. Floyd's entire contract is fully guaranteed. The final two years of the contract are voidable.
Gregory will be 29 this next season, and comes with certain amounts of risk, so I would imagine somewhere around Ogbah's and Floyd's deals. Throw in Jerry receiving criticism for drafting Gregory, and the deal could be even higher.
Regarding paying Dak and/or bringing in high-priced free agents, the last few years our moves have been motivated by Stephen's cheapness and this false belief that Will McClay is clever. Neither approach has an ounce of validity to it, but this team has to be proven dead wrong beyond all reasonable doubt before they shift philosophies. Stephen seems shocked that Dak (and other free agents) aren't willing to play for significantly less for the honor of being a Dallas Cowboy. While he is correct that being a Dallas Cowboy gives you an additional opportunity in regards to endorsements and marketability, he is absolutely out of his mind to ask players to take less money.
It's too bad too. The NFC East is ripe to be dominated by the Cowboys. We're too busy trying to prove the Jones' family are smart football people rather than focusing on getting better.
If not for the Smith, Collins, Jarwin, Dak injuries, and Frederick retiring last year, Mcclay and Stephen would be looking pretty good right now. They would most likely have a top 3 offense ( maybe the #1), and last season would have been a different story.
Not to mention all the other injuries.
