Iloka leaves without a deal

[JayFord]

I mean the dude played for 790,000 last year.

I can’t see him asking for more

I can see our front office having a full blown Fred Sanford heart attack

$790,000!!!!!!!! LIZABETH .......I’m COMIN TO SEE YA!!!!!

Another tour around the stadium that ends with a dinner and the player telling Jerry and Stephen to peace out.

Which is odd. He played for under 800,000 last year. So he’s in their budget range lol

That's what he signed for in Minnesota after the Bengals cut him. While I can't be sure, he was probably still owed some money from the Bengals so we was more willing to take a vet minimum deal from the Vikes.

Maybe Stephen was expecting him to pick up half the dinner bill.

It's Deal or No Deal

Personally, I liked Howie Mandell more when he was tweaking on coke and putting surgical gloves on his head...

This could be the Cowboys' dilemma- sign Berry and get a potential all-pro or a guy that might be on IR by week two. Or, sign a healthier player like Iloka that has nowhere near the abilities of Berry.

In my fantasy world the Cowboys sign both and trade Jeff Heath for a seventh round pick and some nachos.

They'd better share those nachos with the fans!

Dam, this team is so cheap it’s down right embarrassing. Low balling everybody, even our own.

What team offers every free agent one year prove it deals? That is why everybody leaves, they go shop it and see if anybody can do better.

Once they realize nobody else in the league wants them, they then sign little Stevie’s one year cheapo deal.

 

[Sydla]

The Cowboys way!

 

[king987]

This is normal. Randall Cobb left without a deal and signed a day later. Iloka also left the Raiders without a deal earlier this week. Now he'll think things over.

In the years before social media (and even the internet) visits like this often went unreported. Then we turned on ESPN (it was the only option) and were surprised to see where so-and-so signed.

Exactly, good point. This whole idea of a team not letting a free agent "get out the door" is actually less than the norm than some might think. Maybe for the bigger named players it's the case, but certainly not ever player. It's all about negotiations and players wanting to find the best deal. Frankly, I'd rather see this than Cowboys just dishing out bags of money to any player who has ever worn a helmet. That's how they ended up in cap hell for over a decade.

Kinda glad tbh

 

[cowboy_ron]

Our FO is killing it.......he probably wanted something crazy like....a salary or something............the days of this team being able to get players just because they're the Dallas Cowboys are long past...........the players of today weren't even born yet the last time we've had any kind of real success in Dallas.

 

[Cowboys22]

Unless his agent attends as well, what good is talking about a deal. I would say it’s just the player and they see the facilities, get acquainted, talk scheme fit stuff with coaches, have dinner where someone sells him on the team and then they leave. If the team is interested, they contact the agent and begin negotiations.

 

[Alexander]

I didn’t really want him, but we’ve gotta have some kind of a record for people leaving without a deal

I remember not long ago around here people always said get them in the building and Jerry gets his man.

 

[Redball Express]

It's pretty much in tune with what's been happening lately -- that 's for sure. Evidently, we're simply not prepared to offer what's attractive to those who might actually prove helpful as potential starters for any productive length of time.

According to Clearance Hill Jr on Twitter, Free Agent Safety George Iloka has concluded his visit and left without a deal.

Thought I read that Cobbs deal with GB that ended was for $10 mil/yr.

At $5 mil a yr for us..

we have set a president we will only do really discounted deals.

I do not expect anything more until after the draft on FAs.

 

[Sydla]

Kinda glad tbh

Me too.

I need more of Jeff Heath in 2019. Don't take that from me, Jerry.

I would be will to give someone a 7th if they would take Heath.

 

[Richmond Cowboy]

I would make the flight to check out the Star and get wined and dined for a night.

 

[LatinMind]

word is Dallas hasnt offered a deal for any of the safeties that have been to Dallas. I think theyre looking ahead incase they dont get what they want in the draft

Sweet. Can’t wait to log in tomorrow to see who’s gets a free meal this weekend

Being sarcastic here

 

[EMMITTnROY]

Good. Hope this means that Berry is still in play.
