Mo Clay to Baltimore?*** signs with Jets***merged

[TheMarathonContinues]

In 9 seasons, Newman missed 11 games. He had 6 seasons where he played 16 games.

In the 5 seasons since he has been gone, he has missed 8 games and played 16 games once.

Newman did not miss a game for his first four seasons, Mo missed 24 and another 9 in his fifth. I'm not sure what injury comparison you're making here.

Later in his career here Newman always had nagging hammy injuries....I think that's what he's referring to.

Good points. I also saw Mo start to turn it around. He was very good in 2015, too. But if it weren't for the injury concerns, he would have been one of this year's most sought-after free agents. Heck, if Romo didn't have durability concerns, we'd have gotten a 3rd round pick, maybe more, for him by now.

I would love to have Claiborne back. I just don't know if the Cowboys have the cap flexibility to gamble on him again.

I can live with letting Mo go if it's a unreasonable contract. But if he signs the same deal as he signed last season? That will hurt.

 

[Old'Boyfan]

I've yet to see that Mo has actually signed anything.
Out of curiosity, at what point in the Green Bay game did Mo get injured and what was the injury? I seem to recall it was a rib injury and relatively early in the game?

Wouldn't mind having Newman return to the team for a season. He said he's going to play another season and is planning to sign with a team that gives him a chance to win a ring.

He'd make a good nickel back who can start in a pinch.

Probably, I don't follow him closely enough to know if he got over that or not. It doesn't seem like he has any more durable since he left though.

He's missed some games the past three years, but still has played in 10 or more each season after a string of not missing any.

Oh I'm not saying he's an injury waiting to happen. I wouldn't count on him for 16 games but I believe he is more dependable than Mo.

I was responding to someone else who predicted that Mo would miraculously become less injury prone when he left the team...like Newman. Fact is, Newman wasn't injury prone with us, actually quite durable early in his career. Since he left, he has missed some time here and there but he hasn't developed some new found durability that he was lacking on our roster.

I agree that he's always been pretty reliable. There were a lot of fans down on him his last year here, but he actually was trying to stay on the field and play through injury, which led to a decline in his play. He got healthy and started playing back up to his previous standard.

it wouldn't be bad to sign him or Carr to a one year deal and draft one or two corners in the draft. I'd like to draft 2 because the draft is loaded with corners. Better chance to hit on 1 if they draft 2. Maybe they get lucky and hit on both.

Yep, double dip on these corners, get one early and one later.

I saw a tweet today basically stating he's "expected" to accept that Raven offer....nothing final

Raven fans really want this to happen. Mo is seen as a very good corner. And he is... for the 6 games he plays.

What happened to the "cap management guru" that was supposed to put the Cowboys ahead of the game? Seems to me all of the contract re-writes just dig the hole deeper.

 

[Doomsday101]

So much for the everyone wants to play for the Cowboys thing. They will go where the money is, not where it has to be created.

Of course at the end of the day it is business. Does not mean players do not want to play for the Cowboys. Myles Garrett would love to play in Dallas

The moral of the story is that money supersedes sentiment. That does not stop people from thinking it matters in the grand scheme of things.

Of course it does. Just like many of us we work for money not for fun. I have worked for some great people who just could not afford to pay me and so I looked else where. It was not personal and still think highly of them but I work for money.

Looks like 5 million a year is the number according to La Canfora

Except I have a hard time believing Twill couldn't make more elsewhere. I wouldn't expect any player to give up a large percentage of thier pay to remain. But it is possible if the other teams offer is only say 10% more some players would sacrifice that in order to stay "home."

If that is indeed his price, than allow me to exit the Mo train at this point and look forward to getting our next CB. I wanted him back but only on another prove it type deal. Its not good sense to pay that much with such a proven track record of missing time.

I'd like to see the full numbers. Carroll's AAV is $4MM and I'd rather pay Claiborne $5MM AAV. But the devil is in the details.
