They be like "take a pay cut" DLAW be like "No"!
Then they be like "you want mo money" he be like "yes"!
You can't make this crap up!
I’ve been critical of both Lawrence and the Cowboys keeping him. But I never saw this move coming for either side. Seems brilliant to me.
A glimmer of hope . . . All we have to do is get Wagner to bring some swag and leadership to the team. . . ChampionshipGonna say it....This is as big as when Jimmy traded for Charles Haley. The best is yet to come!!!!
Genius. . . this may be the new NFL standardI have to admit, Dlaw actually did us a solid as this is a pseudo pay cut hidden inside an extension.
Dlaw had $40 mill and 2 yrs left on his deal, none of it guaranteed. The Cowboys added an additional year to the deal, but kept the same $40 mill and in exchange for doing this, they made $30 mill of the remaining $40 mill guaranteed.
It really is a win-win for both parties.
True . . . I am a little Squimish on the WR position but now I am a Little rest assured at DE knowing full well that Cooper and Lawrence were luxuries at those prices.Good deal really. Also makes DE not as pressing as an issue in April.
Yes yes. . . Miller and Wagnernot for Jerry “We Like Our Guys” Jones
Next up is Gregory getting overpaid
The moves this week tell me the team is wanting to invest heavily in the defense. Feel they have a chance to have a great defense and are going to make sure it happens.
Why? . . How much do you think Gregory's cap hit will be this year?Not a chance. Gregory deal will get done in the next few days.
I am confused
The report says base salary of 2022 is 3 million plus a spread out signing bonus of 12 million . . . Which should bring the base salary of 2022 to 6 million. . . where is he getting the 14 million from?
And 2023 should be 18 million and He is reporting 26 million
Am I missing something
He is adding 11 million every year for the signing bonus . . . How much is the signing bonus?
I'm confused as well I don't recall seeing a guy who had Lawrence's contract just up and sign a 3 year 30 million dollar deal....he had a few years left on his deal didn't he?
Yeah . . . maybe but i am still confused with the numbers Archer is reportingI don't quite understand this either. This seems to be a 2 year deal. If we cut Lawrence at the end of next year he will count 23 million against the cap or 12.5 million against the 2023 cap and 12.5 million against the 24 cap(post june 1 cut) If he stays until the end of the 23 season his cap hit if cut would drop to just 4 million.
Cowboys are gambling on 2 years of high level production. If he has a poor year in 2022 and Cowboys want to cut him they are in the same kind of position in terms of cap hit than what they were before he signed the new deal.
Yeah I agree that'll be a tough pill to swallow but it looks like after 2023 his cap number will be manageable and after 2024 we can cut him with little loss. Why I feel that is a pill I'm willing to swallow cuz a manageable 2024 and beyond means we will be free of deam money and more likely to resign Diggs and Parsons. If I understand it correctly. Not gonna lie some of you guys are better with the salaries than I am so if I'm wrong let me know.Celebrating the saved cap space this year is nice…locking into that 26 mil guaranteed next year is crazy and totally not worth it.
Yes they are gambling . . . and I think they are going all in on Wagner by creating this space this yearI don't quite understand this either. This seems to be a 2 year deal. If we cut Lawrence at the end of next year he will count 23 million against the cap or 12.5 million against the 2023 cap and 12.5 million against the 24 cap(post june 1 cut) If he stays until the end of the 23 season his cap hit if cut would drop to just 4 million.

Hope so. Wagner and Parsons would be crazy good.Yes they are gambling . . . and I think they are going all in on Wagner by creating this space this year
Hope so. Wagner and Parsons would be crazy good.
What this means is when it comes time to pay Micah Parsons, they won't be able to do it.I'm confused. Does this mean he has 3 additional years added to his pre-existing contract that guarantees him 10 million per year? Or did he agree for 10 million a year for the next 3 years?
