The signing of Quinn is a huge move by the Cowboys to end the stalemate with Tank.
Lawrence never thought the Cowboys could replace him and therefore has taken his stance.
But it appears to me that signing Quinn to a $11 /mil a yr deal has shifted everything.
I do not believe the rhetoric from the FO about just wanting to pair Quinn and Tank.
Sure..if it happens fine.
But think about if it does not.
Also think about Tank playing again on the Franchise Tag at $20 mil/yr this season and still awaiting his new contract.
If Quinn suddenly starts have a lights out season and has better sack numbers than Tank..
well he only has a 1 year deal with us and then Tank has competition for his contract.
Quinn has had better sack numbers than Tank in the past.
That is what we would want.
So let this play it's way out.
Worst case scenario we rescind the Tag and keep the money and pay Quinn instead and can redo our other guys easily with the savings.
We win as a team no matter what happens.
