If Thomas want a two year deal, there is no reason why Dallas should pass

[darthseinfeld]

Thats a short term, very manageable commitment.

I dont care if its 15 per. If Collins is getting 14, you gladly pay 15 for the best Safety in football and one of the best defenders in the NFL.

To me if you are passing on a short term commitment to Thomas, you arent being cost conscious. You simply arent making enough of an attempt to get better

Agreed. We can only hope upon hope that they are just waiting for the price to come down just a bit. And then they’ll bite.

Bingo.

Even if he gets injured and underwhelms. You are out from under his contract in two years.

It’s a risk but not a long term risk.

DO IT

I’d do two years but where is it being reported he wants a two year deal?

If he'll sign for 30M/2, then he'll be a Cowboy. But he's not going to be a Cowboy.

 

[Teague31]

Making no attempt to get better.

The Cowboy way since 1995

Isn't it common for elite players coming off of an injury, looking at their last big contract to prefer short-term contracts? (Sarcasm)

 

[NeonNinja]

ET should be our #1 priority (especially at 2 years).

[Pessimist_cowboy]

We like our guys

 

[dwreck27]

Why not the same deal but a club option for year 3??

Cut bait if the 3rd year he declines

 

[dwreck27]

Yes please!!!

 

[darthseinfeld]

Personally I would just go get him. Fortune favors the bold.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Right now, for 2020 Dallas has $124 million of cap space. Of course, this is before any Dak, Amari, maybe Lawrence deals, but still.

Load most of ET's money into next year, give him a massive signing bonus to keep him happy in 2019, and let's roll.

Well hot damn.

The Cowboys should be all over this.

To me Collins is a far inferior player, and if you can get Thomas for 1 million AAV more, you jump on that

That's exactly the problem they know what the need is and all we need to do is get better at one position and free-agency.

it's not like they need a roster full

 

[stiletto]

Do it....you can always get creative with the salary cap within two years. I'd make it heavily incentive based too. If Earl Thomas plays 32 games, he will be in the pro bowl two years. Reward for that....

We have dumb and dumber running this team, expecting rational and logical decision making is not happening.
