[Bowdown27]

@fishsports: .@JDurant52 sources tell me, closing in on #Cowboys deal. Team captain. 3-position LB. Coaches love him. Good get. @1053thefan

Money should be reasonable you would think

 

[Idgit]

This was the LB I wanted done most. Good news, if it happens.

 

[ABQcowboyJR]

The dominos starting to fall now that we know how much cap space we have.

 

[Typhus]

solid resign.

Seriously?

 

[Rogerthat12]

The guy was solid when healthy, if the money is right this will be money well spent!

 

[Idgit]

Seriously?

Yeah. I tend to like the guys who are relatively affordable, not crazy, and who play great for us. Go figure.

Remember 12 months when most wrote him off? Never got that

He was better than solid. People don't like to admit it when injured journeymen linebackers entering their 30's are among the 2-3 best players on your defense, but Durant was playing very good football last year before he got hurt.

Yeah. Broaddus had something to do with that, didn't he?
The guy just has me scratching my head. He's been pretty dang good the whole time in Dallas, and then took it to another level last season. Now, as little talent as we have on defense, that's not saying all that much, but, still, he's a good player. He's not hurt as much as Lee. He's not crazy as much as McClain. And he's not Hitchens as much as Anthony Hitchens. What's not to like?

 

[Risen Star]

He's a marginal player. I'd have to see the deal to really have an opinion on it.

 

[pacy]

Finally something.

Honestly thought he was the MVP of the defense before his injury.

What about health, does that fall into the equation?

As they wrote off almost every player on the team....returning and any newly signed players, including draft picks.

Plus he doesn't stay healthy. Call me crazy but doesn't matter how great a player is if he sits on the bench doesn't help us

Read this driving on the phone as Heath.

Good thing I was moving at 10mph

Good point. There's no way to really evaluate it until you see the deal.

I remember a special dislike for him. He is as good of a 1.5 -2m year vet lb that I've seen in a while.

Not a superstar, but you can win with him
