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

[YosemiteSam]

Bridge jumpers to the left, and whinners to the right.

 

[Alexander]

Universal is where I believe the fired agent came from.

 

[Rogerthat12]

You realize that the Colts coach was all but fired at the end of the year? Not sure that there is all the love there either.

Greg Williams is the db coach apparently Robinson knows him from NO.

 

[Alexander]

No, but by all evidence he wasn't exactly getting tons of action. The hype of free agency is over.

That was sort of my point.

 

[rynochop]

Guess those phone calls fron Garrett were not doing the trick.
Garrett: Hello? Patrick, this is Jason Garrett, head coach for the Dallas Cowboys, how are 'ya?

Robinson: Doing great, coach. Just great. Love the facilities, Coach Rich has been great and I--

Garrett: Patrick, Patrick. Can you hear me? Okay, we're excited to have you here. We are in Boca Raton. Oh, I mean there.

Robinson: Well yeah, I was kind of expecting you know, my agent, said--

Garrett: We think you are the right kind of guy so we think he can help our team. We have a process. A process. You ready?

Robinson: Coach? I, well, uh--

Garrett: Part of the Dallas Football Cowboys. Ready to play football. In Dallas. The right way. Yeah, you ready? {creepy grin}

Robinson: {long silence}

Garrett: Patrick. Patrick? You ready to go to work as a member of the Dallas Football Cowboys?

Robinson: {dead signal}

Garrett: {to Stephen} Sounds like I lost him.

I hope that was funnier while being typed out.

 

[vicjagger]

I know I could use an extra $500K right about now,

Your ability to "Meh." is the envy of all the land.

 

[Stash]

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

It's the built in fan response. He would have been a Pro Bowl candidate if he had signed here.

 

[Zordon]

It sounds really stupid on the surface, him taking less money to go to a worse team... but I'm telling yall Jason Garrett has to be a turn off for theae free agents. He's so awkward, dorky and weird. I couldn't imagine being a free agent listening to Jason Garrett saying "we really like you as a football player" with that creepy smile on his face.

If he doesn't get Landry vibes from that convo that's his fault.

 

[Zordon]

So does everybody not know how to read or what? He is getting more money from the Colts, not significantly more, but still more.

When you consider state/county taxes and cost of living, it's virtually the same amt.

The thing that you should take from this is that he was sold quickly by their head coach over our robot.

 

[Kaiser]

Bridge jumpers to the left, and whinners to the right.

And if Marinelli's defensive scheme is executed properly, the jumpers land on the whiners.

 

[Kaiser]

When you consider state/county taxes and cost of living, it's virtually the same amt.

So Robinson is paying less tax in Indiana where they have a State Tax than in Texas, which doesn't have one? No wonder he fired his agent!!

He got more money from Indy, there is no way around it.

 

[casmith07]

Numbers anywhere?

 

[DTown214]

Except he didn't take less but considerably more

ahh I didn't know that. I read somewhere we offered him 3yrs/13.5m and they offered 3yrs/12m

 

[Kaiser]

Numbers anywhere?

Dallas offered 3 years, 13.5MM, 5.5MM guaranteed

Indy offered 3 years, 14MM, 6MM guaranteed

We don't know if the money is more front-loaded in the Indy offer, but I would bet it is. Indiana also has a State tax of 3.3% but that is trivial IMO.

Greg Williams is the db coach apparently Robinson knows him from NO.

Different Greg Williams. The DC is with the rams. The DB coach went from SD to Indy.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Welcome to the Stephen Jones era. Jerry Jones' football IQ with half the charisma and closing ability of Jerry.

This had everything to do with a players agent not Stephen Jones.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Players aren't buying what Garrett/Stephen are selling. This is a problem.

 

[pugilist]

who cares, go HAM on building the pass rush and it won't matter who's in the secondary

sign Hardy
Draft Bosa
Fire Garrett

 

[fivetwos]

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 did miss it. Then after about three seconds of embarrassment, the feeling I get most Sundays during the season crept in.....we were beaten by the other coach.
