Quinn tried to get Bobby Wagner to Dallas

[Chasing6]

We are not going to pay significant money to RB and LB VFA. I can understand it.

Hopefully the Jones have come to realize the game is won in the trenches.

 

[Bullflop]

The fact of the matter is that the Dallas FO didn't appeal to what Bobby Wagner wanted in compensation for his services.

That has been a constant problem that the Cowboys have had in their negotiations with the veteran free agent prospects.

Obviously, the offers that Stephen Jones provided wasn't in the best interest of what the major number of them preferred.

Are you guys serious. Y’all just going to pretend like yall didn’t know already know this? Cmon man. We all knew this.

 

[noshame]

Jerry: who's on 1st?

 

[nate dizzle]

Did he even call us? Do we have to do everything around here?

 

[Chasing6]

Jerry: who's on 1st?

Jerry don't even know where he is.

 

[CWR]

So Jerry/stephen were the problem? I….am…..shocked

Imagine being the coach that can't sign reasonable FAs. That would make me want to leave.

 

[phildadon86]

Ohhhhh.

Can’t wait for the commenters here to say. “He didn’t want to play here”

 

[Hawkeye19]

Just more evidence that JJ and SJ have transcended the rest of the NFL as FO operations guys.

“Free agency” is clearly a concept that weak-minded fools cling to in order to cobble together an inferior roster.

We don’t need to overpay “quality good players” to come to Dallas because— well, look at all our roster success!

 

[Cowboys5217]

Wasn’t that obvious last the last 2 years. Surprise? Not So much - we don’t over spend on free agency, like it or not that is the Cowboy Way

Being championship irrelevant is also the Cowboy Way. There's a correlation there.

Ohhhhh.

Someone already said it before your post lol

 

[StarLord]

When he was available years ago, he was the one free agent I was really hoping we'd sign. But of course not .. just another leaf falling

No we didnt.

Posters here were saying Wagner never wanted to come here originally so no call was made.

They were talking contract and Wagner wanted more than the hot dog and minimum wage Stevie was offering. We all knew it. Except for some.

One poster actually said LVE was the better option.

 

[John813]

The Front office was more concerned about overpaying their own, and were extremely motivated to re-sign guys who recently blew their ACLs.

 

[jwitten82]

But @Rockport said that Quinn didn't want bigger LBs and that's why Zimmer will be better, and also being older too

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

so stephen nixed it!?

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

Shes trying to drum something up between our inept FO and Wagner? Come on, that's a reach and irrelevant to THIS offseason.

 

[JBS]

Yes they were talking contract and Wagner wanted more than our minimum offer. We all knew that. What do you think this thread is about?

 

[jwitten82]

At first I thought that was Miley Cyrus who was doing the interview

 

[speedkilz88]

In other words, we were too cheap. This is just another indication of what the real problem with the Dallas Cowboys is.

Cheap but also Stephen is not a good contract/cap guy. He also blew it with Eric Kendricks' agent and was originally going to sign with 49ers. I think Zimmer must have intervened to get him to change his mind. But I'm also sure that Wagner was only coming to Dallas if their offer was clearly more than the Seahawks. He's a west coast guy and clearly had a connection with the seahawks already.
