$6.25 yeah we surely weren't doing that

Twice as much as we wanted to pay a back in free agency.

Apparently his base is 3.25

Whoa, that's outrageous!

Signed, Jerry and Stephen

It was more than 3 mil, and it wasnt a 1 year contract !
He was lucky to get out of dallas, I wish him good luck, he worked hard here with
cowboys.

So for $6M you could have a 1,000 yard 3 down back, or a splashy special teams player that gives you 1 or 2 big plays a game.

This signing means brooks is broken.

This sets up the Cowboys to draft Jeanty at #12 or trade up to get him. If Jeanty is picked early then they are forcing a RB in the 2nd or 3rd round even if it isn't best player available. Other teams now know the Cowboys want a RB and will trade and draft around to keep them from getting the player they want in the 2nd or greater.

 

[reddyuta]

good luck to Dowdle,he worked his *** off to get to this point.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

What are the odds that he’ll have an injury free season? Carolina did well in signing him for one year only…. But way too much.

Over / under on 3 games played?

 

[dacopacabana]

So glad this team didn’t draft Brooks.

 

[CowboyChris]

I don’t see the fit in Carolina, he’s not going to unseat Hubbard or Brooks

 

[DZSierra]

teams always overspending on mediocre talent.

OK, what team are we talking about here?

Apologies, couldn't help but think of a certain QB's new contract.

The Dallas Cowboys struck a deal with running back Javonte Williams on Monday, and that seemed to point to one thing - the team wouldn’t re-sign Rico Dowdle. That turned out to be very true as Dowdle is heading to the Carolina Panthers on a one-year deal. ESPN reports that Dowdle’s deal is worth a minimum of $3 million but could go as high as $6.5 million.

Similar to what happened when they let Tyron Smith leave, the Cowboys must not have been comfortable with the incentives reaching that high, and decided to get Williams at a max of $3.5 million. You could make the argument of sticking with Dowdle for the extra money given how he performed last year, but the Cowboys may be thinking more about the draft.

so cowboys downgraded for 3M...ok then!

Good for him. Going to split time with Chubba in Carolina though.
