PFT: Giants were offering even more money to Davis

[AtlCB]

ha, I see Cowboy Nation believed that story, huh?

sure we may have wanted him... but not for a franchise record breaking signing bonus... lol

Exactly. How can your team sign such starts as Archuletta, Duckett, Randall El, Lloyd, etc?

Hey, wait a minute. I thought Jerry was an idiot for falling in love with and overpaying for players with Texas ties. You mean we actually got a good player at a small discount because the player WANTED to be here?

DAVIS COULD HAVE GOTTEN EVEN BIGGER MONEY​

As eyebrows continue to be stuck in the raised position regarding the contract that the Dallas Cowboys gave to offensive lineman Leonard Davis, we're told that Davis actually could have gotten even more money elsewhere.​

Per a league source, the Giants were interested in handing Davis even more than the $18.75 million guaranteed he got from Dallas, since the Giants were recruiting him to exclusively play the more lucrative position of left tackle.​

But Davis decided that he wanted to join the Cowboys, where for now he's most likely to play right guard. Down the road, he could move to right tackle -- and he possibly could be the eventual replacement for Flozell Adams at left tackle.​

Sorry, didn't see that this was repost.

Edit: Damn, someone is quick.

untrue, all football players care about now adays is money, they don't care about winning any more

Davis did get a college education of some sort.

Whatever he got in Dallas is a heck of lot more in actual mooney then what he would have made in NY after state/city taxes, cost of living and all that jazz.

I have always wondered why doofus clients allowed theirt agents to take slightly higher contracts in areas where cost of living was extremely higher and taxes were as well.

just a bit irony for 'ya

I think you're a joke, yet there are some times where you make sense

It always pleases me to know when players come to the Cowboys for less money than what was offered elsewhere.

Well you have to calculate the fact that you don't have to pay a state income tax here in Texas, that makes a big difference imo.

I was talking about the merge, not the original post.

As someone else already stated in this thread, this information has been reported before. PFT isn't the original source. It's just added confirmation.
