Here ya go WoodyGirl……….

Contract guys, what would be the ramifications of cutting Smith this year or in the offseason?

 

[JayFord]

If that’s whats needed to re tool then thats whats needed

 

[baltcowboy]

I doubt they release him. Wouldn’t it accelerate his guarantees and hurt next years cap. Then we would not be able to franchise Dak.

 

[Alexander]

Jaylon Smith is a made man by Jerry Jones evidenced by his contract extension.

It will not happen.

 

[Silly]

It would send a message to the team that they better start taking things seriously or they will be out of a job.

 

[kumizi]

Don't get my hopes up

 

[Hawkeye19]

It may happen in the offseason. Hard to see it happening soon.

 

[ItzKelz]

Wont happen. Jaylon has some value. If we are doing a fire sale then sell him.

I would really be impressed if McCarthy did that. I would set a great example that it doenst matter who you are or how much you are making, if you don't ball your outta here.

 

[Risen Star]

Remember when he signed his extension and I said it was a bad contract and you guys talked about my Mom?

Sure, but I don't think he has much value. Not with a big contract like that.

No way anyone trades for that performance and that contract.

Sounds like they are putting Jaylon on notice but that is to much money to lose on the cap, especially if you plan to tag Dak.

 

[Wolfpack]

That was a total Jerry move. Stephen has been trying to play moneyball with the defense for years now and no way he signed off on that on. You can get a chase and tackle Will type LB anywhere which is all Smith is good at.

Yes. I remember saying he spaghetti was amazing

 

[Sydla]

Of all the big contracts that have people miffed - Lawrence, Elliott, Smith, etc. - he's the easiest one (or more specifically the one that won't cause the most heartburn) this offseason because he's basically a wash cap wise. So yeah, you have to still eat $9MM in cap space but you don't have to take on any additional bonus money or anything like that. You actually have a net savings of $400K.

It's not ideal but it's certainly better than the cap situation if you tried to cut Elliott or Lawrence. Woo boy, those would sting.

Risen..you always crack me up..lmao..and you're right also.

McCarthy won't do that.

Jed will call Jaylon into a meeting, draw on a napkin and drone out some stupid analogy and MM will lose any credibility he may or may not of had.

How embarrassing to stand in front of the team with pie on your face....not even being present NOR invited to attend the meeting.

Bad look. Worse results.

 

[FiveSuperBowls]

Too much dead cap to release Jaylon now, he will play one more year. But he won’t be counted on to lead the linebackers.

 

[BBGTYCOON]

MM is a fraud, after 3-4 games #54 would've been benched by ANY competent HC.
