I am so juiced on apathy right now. I am fist pumping in an aggressively monotone fashion.

It's weird to me that the Cowboys have been so good about not over paying in this FA period, but this one seems like an over pay to me. Not that we broke the bank or anything, but based on his production.

I reserve the right to move the Raiders to Boise, Idaho.

BOOM!

The Raiders have tons of cap room. Yet decline to match the Cowboys offer.

Doesn't say much about the player.

I like this signing. We get a young end on the rise instead of grabbing an old end like Long on the decline.

The main concern is that Mayowa's rise won't be more than it has been while a player like Long has at least shown what his best looks like, but if the pro personnel department has done it's job we could have a young contributor who brings more to the table than any of the aging vets we could have gotten.

Now, I don't think we should rely on Mayowa to be anything more than Mincey's replacement, but as Mincey's replacement, I like the move.

It's because (IMO) Mack is going to get the largest contract ever for defensive player soon and they (the Raiders) are looking at refortifying the position through the draft and save some coin.

It doesn't mean anything. They signed a few FA's, and probably over spent to have more of a proven player so he became a casualty of the numbers game.

Best signing by far if just used as Mincey's replacement for sure.

All kidding aside, I'm honestly not sure what to make of this signing. It seems like the other moves kind of put Dallas in a good spot for not reaching in the draft while this one shored up a back-up spot but still left a big hole at the top of the depth chart. I have watched Mayowa and I just don't see him as a full-time starter in a 4-3. I don't see him being able to hold up against the run as a full-time DE.

If they don't sign anyone else then Dallas is picking a DE in the top two rounds, possibly even Bosa at #4 imo.
