heh. It's not that simple. A players ability can fit anyone's plan. That doesn't mean the person fits. Could you imagine teams dealing with Charles Haley locker room antics these days?

It took only two games of LOSING for Haley to throw a fit to get Dallas to extend Emmitt. Haley didn't like losing. That is what many of his locker-room antics were about.

Yes, I think they might consider over-paying him now that Murray is gone. It might cost not getting McClain, but they have a big group of reasonable NFL players now at the LB position.

As you said, it really free them up in the draft to go BPA. They could also free up a big sum of money (8M) if they draft a CB early and made Carr a June 1st cut.

Would send Carr to Minny as part of the trade to acquire Adrian Peterson. Cutting him goes against Stephen's penny pinching ways.

A trade accelerates his dead money into 2015. A June 1st cut frees up 8M for draft picks. practice squad, #52 and #53 and IR/PUP.

Which was largely carried by the offense. If not for a blown PI call, Stafford probably goes down the field and throws another touchdown.

Or the refs could called offensive holding and Stafford gets sacked again. I clearly remember 2 sack fumbles on their last drive not Stafford leading them for a winning touchdown

How much would the Cowboys be on the hook for in 2016 if he's cut?

A signing like this will go along ways towards calming the fan base down as well.............you don't let the NFL Offensive Player of the Year just walk out the door and counter that with a McFadden signing and say your done till the draft.

Fans in the 60 page McFadden thread were ready to storm Valley Ranch the other day.................it was brutal:laugh:

I was wondering it signing this guy would get the free pass or if it would actually spur the docile Cowboys media to go after the team.

I guess we know.

It was not a blown call. If anything should have been called on PI on the offense. Still the Lions could have gone for it on 4th down. That play had no outcome at all and Lions still had their chances.

Broaddus seemed like he was against the signing, even though he didn't say so directly on Talking Cowboys. Mickey was kinda defending the guy by saying stuff like "it was a 2 way fight" and he read the 911 report where Hardy said he was being attacked with his girl hitting him with her shoe.

So just based off Talking Cowboys, I would say Mickey was for it and Broaddus was against it..............that is the way it seemed at least.

None of that matters. All that matters is if Jerry, Stephen and Jason are for it. So far, it seems that they are. Thankfully.
