Twitter: Melton has left the building; on way to STL

[Bowdown27]

Maybe that bar fight scared us off.

 

[CowboysLaw87]

What exactly was logical about giving Brandon Carr 50 million?

Or did you mean we were the most logical team to make that horrific mistake?

I think he meant from a fit perspective. Press corner, Ryan wanted a press corner.

Right. I'm not saying the contract was logical, only that it would be coming from us. We had been linked to Carr as the perfect FA marriage for weeks leading up to early March. Just had the same "fit" feeling here. Maybe it still happens.

Dallas really needs Melton. I guess Allen is the focus now.

i would argue allen would be more important. this draft has lots of good dt prospects, not so much at de. to me you sign free agents to fill holes you don't think you can fill in the draft and you draft the cheaper players, and younger for all the holes the players are there to fill

 

[starfrombirth]

Well that's that.

I always thought this was a little bit of overkill with Ben Bass on the roster.

Thanks! I just snorted coffee out of my nose... Jerk!

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

I still like the plan where Dallas just ignores the defense across the board in 2014, drafts all O-line, WRs and running backs in the draft, then works on having the most entertaining sub-.500 season in the history of the league.

 

[TheCount]

Well that's that.

I always thought this was a little bit of overkill with Ben Bass on the roster.

We get it. You're running that joke into the ground.

 

[yentl911]

I am not very disappointed that he left to be honest. I highly doubt that Ben Bass is the answer either. Good back-up.

We need to go DL heavy this draft and bring in a bus load of FA DL after the draft as well.

Marinelli should have the best outlook on Melton's worth and maybe he didn't think he was worth what he was asking, whatever that may be.

Bye bye. The bartenders in Dallas can now rest easy.

This is just a strange situation. He has visited Minnesota where he would probably be a reserve, Seattle as well.

Now St. Louis? He's not starting there over Brockers, and maybe even not over Kendall Lankford.

Sorry to tell you , but he's starting over all those guys

 

[Miller]

St. Louis could be a good fit under Fischer. Honestly, not surprised. The guys just had ACL surgery. This could be his last contract if things don't work out with leg so he is looking everywhere and plotting "money + winning." Still wouldn't be surprised if he goes to Seattle or maybe shorter term but more money guaranteed.

 

[theSHOW]

I guess Marinelli failed to close the deal last night over dinner.

Rod needs to remember not to aim the cork at the new trainee when opening champagne.

 

[Hardline]

Rule of thumb. You dont let a player out of your office without a contract. If he didnt sign. He most likely wont.

 

[theSHOW]

He is trying to get diamond status on Delta....And he loves $100 lunches. Can't blame him.

" HE FOUGHT WHILE REHABING AN ACL"

repeat 10 times and tell me he ain't stupid.

 

[AKATheRake]

Who's Melton's agent?

Steve Weinberg?

 

[Alexander]

So he is going to waltz into Minnesota and start over Floyd? If so, they are basically admitting he is a bust. They just signed Joseph to play the nose.

The St. Louis fit only makes sense if they cut Lankford's $5M salary and slide Brockers over.

 

[CowboyStar88]

Well there's that

 

[crashintonickdm]

Why would anyone want to go to st Louis?

Yes.. He's better than all of those guys..

[Angus12]

So he's looking for more money then we can spend?
Good thing that cap hell thing is just a myth, or so I hear.

 

[Alexander]

Yes.. He's better than all of those guys..

It is not about being better. It is also about how he fits into what they do coupled with what he does best. There is a reason they were talking about his fit in Dallas being so good. It is.

Now the money, that is another matter. Players often do accept going to teams where they do not fit logically to take the money.
