Melton is a Cowboy - 1yr, multi-year club option

[CyberB0b]

Based on???

When was the last time you felt like we got our money's worth on a big free agent signing? I think every team overpays in free agency for the production they end up getting. I am fine with it in this case, because we had no other options.

Where's all the Jerry hate now?


Exactly!

Great job by our fantastic owner and Marinelli deserves some credit as well.

One signing doesn't make up for 18 years.

Melton
Crawford
McClain
Bass
Hayden

Thats a really nice rotation. DE should be the focus come draft day.

Not sure about nice rotation, it still needs work, lots of it,
Bass has not even shown he an play in this league
Hayden was lucky to make the team last year imo
Crawford has talent, need to step it up, in big way

That has nothing to do with him being on Medicare. The point has nothing to do with the money as much as you all of sudden calling Hatcher old. We need you to be a little more consistent with your opinions....I'm not the only one who caught your hypocrisy.

It was a joke, you weirdo.

nope it doesnt and im not a jj fan at all but people can give credit where credit is due and still hate jj. lol im a perfect example

1 year with an option, and if he works out they'll be moreover the following year too pay him

It was funny... they were talking to Kaplan in Chicago about Melton and they got sidetracked onto Romo... He makes some valid points that would make a 50 pager here for sure... Big Romo fan. He says that outside of 3 or 4 qb's in the league (Brady, Manning, Rodgers) who would you replace him with. It's not cut and dried not matter what anyone says.. But back on topic, he says that if Melton is motivated he is a damn good player and if by some chance we got Allen we would be much better and the implication was that we could contend for the playoffs... I like the sound of that tho the news isn't looking good for Allen.

I agree this is a good signing.

 

[starfrombirth]

They are talking about the deal being LESS than Hatcher's. I hope it's a lot less but we will see.

2007 wasn't good enough for ya?

It's a bad and tricky injury agreed, but Winslow had a Pro Bowl year after his surgery (he was younger) and 3 decent years in Tampa. Just have a feeling the may try and get buy with Spencer for a year, while the draft pick gets his feet under him.

Will see.

Winslow was 23 i believe when he had it. But he dropped off quick. Wasnt it when he crashed his bike? Spencer is 29 and is still walking like a 80 yr old man. If he was close to a return he would've been signed. Cowboys need to move on.

 

[gimmesix]

$4 mill seems real low ball but wouldn't be surprised by anything after what Commanders paid hatcher for one good year

Yes. I'm thinking a deal that averages $4 million a year isn't all that bad. It really just depends on the bonus and initial cap hits.

Nothing will right?

 

[Stash]

I do not like him as a person and NEVER want to hear the term 'right kind of guy' used again during the Garrett tenure. That said, I hope the deal makes good financial sense and the guy gets things turned around both on and off the field.

It's typical for teams to overpay in FA. That is the nature of FA. However, it appears we did not overpay for Melton. I'll bet that is why we won't get Allen. Jerry seems to have learned from past experiences.

One and done. woo-hoo.

It wasn't the misery most cowboys fans claim they've been in the past 18 years.

We could win a Super Bowl and there are some who wouldn't give Jerry any credit.
