Patrick Robinson deal put on hold **Update: Signs with Colts**

[Zordon]

I told you it was about the money. Doubt the Cowboys would've went that high.

Dude he took less money with the Colts.

 

[cowboyblue22]

maybe they tried to tell him they were in running for the superbowl only two teams in the afc in the running for the superbowl if they stay healthy and that's the steelers and pats.

I'm not heartbroken over losing Patrick Robinson, but I would like to know why other organizations have their HC out recruiting free agents and ours is in Boca Raton for the OWNERS meetings.

Would it have made a difference? I don't know, but it couldn't have hurt, and could have sent the wrong message to Robinson. as in, you couldn't be bothered to stay back and meet with me.

 

[Gameover]

Other defensive players have visited and left without signing. Marinelli obviously isn't much of a tipping point.

Jerry got the man he wanted the most.. Thornton

 

[DFWJC]

Only disappointing if they can't sign another corner that can actually help.

Come on Cowboys

Carr is owed 13M w/o a restructure for 1 season in 2016; won't get into the high figures the past few seasons?

The "kicking the can down the road" technique of restructuring guys -- especially average players, can eventually bite you. $13M for 2016 is the result.

Dude he took less money with the Colts.

Good for them.

Source? Rapsheet said he got more than $12 mil but we don't even know the final numbers yet. Unless you saw something else.

I agree jerry is not the best GM. But in his defense the guy wasnt even present for Robinsons visit.

Meh, when you want to be the puppet master and control everything then he has to take responsibility. That said....I don't really care. The more I read about Robinson, the less impressed I am frankly.

We don't know that. If the Colts contract was all guaranteed it would effectively be twice what Dallas offered.

 

[manster4ever]

That old man was exec of the year in 2014.

LOL....what about 2015? Oh yeah...INJURIES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guarantee's is what I'm waiting for...

Patrick Robinson is a scrub. Most of you fell in love with a name

How come every player that we miss out on I read this exact same comment about?

Read the tweet again. He had lunch w Pagano in Boca Raton.

Apparently you missed this:

Stephen Holder @HolderStephen
Just got off conference call w Patrick Robinson. Had lunch w Pagano in Boca yesterday and dude said he was sold halfway through.

I was an advocate for some of the other guys that we struck out on..so I can't answer this rhetorical question

 

[Kaiser]

I would bet Dallas is back on the phone to Leon Hall at this point also.

 

[kiheikiwi]

Just when we start to get that warm and fuzzy feeling.
2 steps forward - one step back.

Doesn't matter where we were in terms of how the contract we offered, as compared to what he took. It's another free agent saying "no thanks", to Dallas. It was reported close to what Carr will make in one year guaranteed, over three years if he (Robinson) met all the incentives.
Win for Carr.
Sigh ...

 

[Gameover]

LOL....what about 2015? Oh yeah...INJURIES!!!!!!!!!!!!

That and Cassel playing the position as lousy as I've ever seen.

 

[Rogerthat12]

We don't know that. If the Colts contract was all guaranteed it would effectively be twice what Dallas offered.

The Colts announced Wednesday they have signed the unrestricted free agent. A source informed of the deal told NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport that it's a three-year contract worth $14 million with $6 million guaranteed.
