Saquon to eagles. 3 years $37m and an annual average salary of 15 per. Way way more than I expected and wouldn’t want cowboys to pay

Same here! But I will already stand corrected. I’m surprised to see the Eagles do this.

I am too. Way too much risk for me with his injury history, of course if it pays off and he’s healthy it’s gonna be a great move…likely 2 years then he’s restructured or released.

Salary is year 1: 13.25…year 2; 11.25…..year 3 13.25

I think it’s a terrible move. Demarco Murray all over again.

Sign Zack Moss, resign Dowdell and draft Jonathan Brooks or Isaac Gueŕendo.

Meanwhile, Jerry "All In" Jones silently removes Josina Anderson from his Christmas card list...

Her post could literally be written by 100% of the zone membership.

About any position as well.

When Steven spoke if you read between the lines, he said Dallas will not sign a RB.

Amazing when they don't everyone is surprised.

They will sign a running back, it just won't be anyone who is worth having. It will be a free agent who is cheap because he had a down year or because he has been a backup/rotational back and has not proven he can be a lead back or he's coming off injury.

And the other shoe just dropped. Looks like you were right about both.

Nice!

Just a one day contract, so he can retire as a Cowboy!

Do they do that for players that were only good for like 3 years?

 

[jgboys1]

I am sure Jerry will be doing the same for Dak one day!

LOL, yes and the great conman will say we got the best FA RB.

 

[Pentagruel]

I’m glad to read that.

Very few of the more successful teams are paying big money for a running back. San Francisco is the notable exception. And they can do it because they have a quarterback on a Mr Irrelevant rookie contract.

But take a look at how the other teams who paid big for running backs did collectively.

It wasn’t good.

And that’s why there are so many now available.

Big money for RB doesn’t mean much any more the position has been devalued so much. There’s a reason a lot of successful teams just picked up a lot of the top backs on the market. Obviously as you mentioned SF has CmC but Philly picked up Barkley, Green Bay got Jacobs, Baltimore got Henry… All good franchises that are investing in the RB position because they know it’s an important one and the price is so low that the value is there right now. Dallas management is just not dexterous enough so see these shifts. Yes, in the past, long term big money deals to RB has crippled some teams. But now, the position costs a fraction of what a WR or OL costs and even getting a guy at the top of the market is a bargain. Not only are RB dirt cheap right now they are taking shorter deals so there is less risk involved. Successful franchises have taken notice and are investing.
