Looks like Hankins will be back

[Jipper]

Hankins is a vet minimum guy at this point in his career. They’d be better off finding an upgrade.

Agreed, but I'd rather go into the draft knowing I have him then not...

 

[Risen Star]

Based on what? He signed a 1.3 million contract last year with the Raiders and they traded him halfway through the season for a late 6th round pick.

Well the Colts just traded Gilmore for a 5th round comp. I don't think that's indicative of how well he played for them.

Bohanna would be a vet minimum player. Hankins isn't because he's an upgrade.

Makes you wonder how an older guy with a limited market is dragging his feet lol.

Must be seeing if he can get above market value

He really probably doesn’t want to go to training camp.

 

[Mr_437]

Great News! Get it done, Jerry.

 

[exciter]

His market value in terms of money is probably set. I'm thinking he's trying to get a 2 year deal instead of the customary Jones favored 1 year deal

Why? 2 year deal would most likely be backloaded the 2nd year to make it easy to walk away from if/when they’re able to draft a replacement. Seems better option would be one year with as much guaranteed as he can haggle!

I'd love to see them bring Hankins back, bring in Poona Ford solving the 1T spot than taking a kid like Kancey in the draft.

Jerry Jones owns the Cowboys, not the Patriots.

funny

They're 250k and a training camp skip apart! Cowboys considering a training camp roster bonus.

Will Hankins sign? Wasn't it just last week when Hankins said he was in no hurry to get a deal?

 

[Cebrin]

Great pick up if so. Defense is so much better with him in the line-up. I hope we still draft and mold though.

 

[ghst187]

I’d sign him for two years and be happy about it. He’s cheap and clearly made a difference. I just don’t think we will be successful trying again to draft someone. People want Mazi but no chance we use a high pick on a two down player plus one we don’t know if will be any good at all. We tried Bohanna and he has been disappointing.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds058]

Now get another Hoss Cartwright in the draft.

 

[Gonzomandela01]

Great to have him back but keep looking, at crunch time this D could not stop the run, hope they get another thumping LB in the draft or trade.

 

[mattjames2010]

Problem here is, this means they'll go into the draft thinking they have that position filled. It's been this way for years.

 

[conner01]

Good! Then go get a young “Hankins” in the draft as well

I’d rather get a guy with pass rush and run stuffing skills but that’s really hard to do

Not really
We drafted lamb when we didn’t need a WR
It’s just really hard to draft an impact DT picking in the middle or late draft slot
We’ve drafted guys just not really good ones
Picking to fill a need over talent got us hill and taco

We was right in the middle of the league in yards per carry given up. Tied with the Super Bowl champs

Yeah stats are nice but at the end of some games when we needed a stop, the run D folded.
