Signed by Cowboys Leighton Vander Esch signed for 2 Years

The defense fell apart when Hankins went down. Stop acting like LvE is some hero. This is the same guy that told micah to stop playing so hard

Context is important.
It was a preseason game.
Two, we don’t know if the quote was about trying to do too much and get caught out of position.
And also we don’t know know what else was said before or after.

“You’re trying to make all the plays. You’re trying to make every play. You gotta know when it’s your play to make.”

This is great news. Vander Esch is harder to replace than most realize.

Agree.

#LVEHaters gonna hate though.

We're running it back. Great.

We're running it back. Great.

The defense didn’t need much change. A monster DT, another tackling machine at LB and a #2 corner

I don't understand how some of you are complaining about this deal? For once I can say well done to the FO.

Nothing against LVE, but if it's LVE for 5.5m or Wagner for 10m then I'd rather Bobby Wagner.

 

[visionary]

Ok with this
Would have preferred Wagner

I will reserve judgment on this deal after I see what Wagner signs for. Wagner is a better LB. I am OK with this for now, but if Wagner ends up signing a contract in the same ballpark as LVE, then I will think they made an error.

Risen loves the deal and the fact he also gets the whole LVE family on a bus in the deal...lol

He be like fist bump...

Nice Family Photo

 

[Ring6]

Prefer wagner

yes would have been better, but at least we now have someone that can wear the green dot and get everyone lined up, whew

 

[glimmerman]

I think wagner wants to much. We ain’t rich or nothing.

 

[Hennessy_King]

he sucks back to being bad at run defense

anyone else is better than this wanna be lber. hes softer than charmin

 

[LatinMind]

It's not like other teams are racing to sign wagner either. Hell Gifford got signed by tenneessee

 

[Hennessy_King]

This ruined my whole night. What a dumb front office. This front office doesnt see the whole nfc east is banking on running the football and we bring back this bum who doesn't play downhill football.

I'm bummed too, but I have to think they would rather have Wilson and Vander over just having Wagner.

That's 187 tackles 6 sacks 1int and 9def 3ff 1 fr

Sucked the life out of what could've been a great day. Fans are concerned with the run D yet love this signing? Should've just kept Jaylon also!! It's a clown show here.

 

[Hennessy_King]

Thank god we traded for gilmore, I would be on suicide watch. Jerry might as well bring back shultz too since he loves wasting money on players

 

[Hawkeye0202]

I know some may disagree but he could be our best FA signing. It appears he's completely healthy and knows Quinn's defense like the back of his hand. He will be our best run stopper......

They could have signed wilson and wagner. Look at this division. The eagles and giants both made the playoffs and got there running the football. We were 22nd against the run last year and haven't improved in that area at all. LVE is a huge weakness in that department. so dumb

Watch some tape this guy cant take on or shed a block to save his life. He plays lber like he weighs 200 lbs
