...all good attitude when you have descent QB and offense personal to go with it.

as our tackles go is how good this offense will be

Not dissimilar from every team in the NFL.

Jerry calls him Michael... I like it better. What specific things did Jerry agree to that he then went back on? Details from your lunch with Jerry, please.

clearly a hypothetical question. back to your goofiness

I got to lighten this place up a little.

If he said I want to be the highest paid WR in the league, I wouldn't hold a grudge. I have more respect for guys playing in the NFL than any other league, as all it takes is one turn of the ankle....or one stop by a lady cop following you on the highway from a Golf Tournament in Laverne and Shirley country

didn't micaheal say these kinds of words, just say nothing and let your hardcore super agent take care of the rest!

Do better Coog. Give the man his name. Falling in with the wrong crowd on this.

Calling a man “out of his name” is not accidental and its not clever.

are you falling in the coog crowd, and only coming at me for this, when there's OTHERS on here that do the same!

Oh no. Not at all. I went to the mat on this topic a year ago.

Seriously, I just don't understand the negative comments this guy gets regarding his contract.

The way he handled last year being in his final rookie contract year after the trade and the way he's handled the franchise tag this whole off-season should be a blueprint for every franchise tagged player.

You can question where he ranks among the top receivers in the league but from the financial and personal side, the guy has just done his job, stayed out of the drama, bonded with other players and seems to care about this team.

Sure, that may change with the Cowboy offer next year, but the "wait until ..." argument has been repeated since he got here.

If (not when, but IF) that happens, my impression and view of him would change.

Until such time, I'm glad he's on the Cowboys.

From everything I've read, being a great teammate has never been his problem. He's had some problems showing up to meetings on time and lets his attitude get away from him some at times on the field, resulting in "stupid" behavior, such as penalties caused by emotion. But he's not going to be a bad locker room guy.

Remember, he also said 'nothing crazy'........I'm thinking another clean All-Pro year would put him in the $34-37M range but we will see.

I don't think it will take an All-Pro year. Rising cap means rising salaries.
