Twitter: Rumor: Cowboys making a strong push to sign Za'Darius Smith

[Hawkeye19]

Smith wants to get paid but there will be a ceiling as to how much teams will be willing to pay a DL with back issues.

Don’t overpay for damaged goods.

 

[blueblood70]

So from what you're saying the Jones' are reading the market correctly....no point in bidding against yourself or making a high offer.

Not being sceptical, but the Honey Badger 'rumors' wouldn't be to coax Kearse to sign for less?

I also dont quite get the signing Smith after we've spent money on Fowler and Armstrong.....especially with the present O-Line requirements.

No its simple, don't make it complected.

the payers are still available and the longer that is the cheaper they will be..who cares to the why ..

What is a strong push from the boys look like money wise?

 

[Ekspozed]

Sign him and hold a press conference announcing we upgraded the position from last year, and show "highlights" of randy Gregory coming penalties in the background.

 

[BermyStar]

So we are going to sign Honey Badger, Smith and Wagner lol

He wouldn't be a Free Agent if he wasn't rumored some way shape or form to the Cowboys.

$2.50 and a jawbreaker.

$2 million a year and a Shell gas card that is paid by Stephen Jones.

I’ve been critical of the Cowboys offseason, but landing Za’Darius would be an upgrade on Gregory and would make me like the Fowler and Armstrong depth signings a lot.

I can't imagine a scenario that would make me like paying Dorance Armstrong 6.5 million a year.

Spotrac isn't showing any bonus/guaranteed money. Contract could be better than the aav numbers make it appear.

They don't have any of the numbers yet.

 

[Fastpitch Dad]

I don’t consider reneging on an agreement as ‘understandable’. Even worse was going back on a second deal.

I would like to have him, but you're not lying. I'm a big believer in a person's word.

This is cap

 

[Proof]

If they are a laughing stock, why are they ranked in the top 10?
Why do they have to sign anyone of note...so you all can complain when it doesn't work out.
How many other teams have not signed anyone of note? Quite a few. And if of note...some of those happened in trades...

what are you babbling about? how the team performs and how the franchise / fo are viewed aren’t mutually exclusive things. and i don’t know what you’re talking about as far as then having to sign anyone of note, i didn’t say anything like that. i said that i doubt agents are using dallas to drum up a market for players

That's the going rate though. Half the value of an inconsistent and often suspended player with 16.5 sacks.

Agree about O line. But the more the merrier with quality D linemen. I am all for building a championship defense. The Dallas explosive O gets stopped by the top teams. And as we all know....defense wins rings.

People actually think they're going to pay Dorance Armstrong 6.5 million a year, sign Donte Fowler and add a large deal like this?

Bless your heart.

It would mean we might be going full 3/4. Smith/Fowler/Armstrong/Gholston have the ability to pass rush standing up or with their hand down. This really helps the Joker (Parsons)

If that were true Von Miller and Chandler Jones would have signed for like 30 million per year.
