News: Schefter: Cowboys Have Placed Franchise Tag on RB Tony Pollard

[CowboyFrog]

TP is a great weapon, its not the move i would make but i dont absolutley hate it, we will have 16 mill cap hit at RB now best case scenario and that is still way to high.

 

[fivetwos]

Ten million a year is too much for him, but that’s the trade off for only a one year commitment.

We also have NO idea what his agent was looking for.

 

[Rayman70]

wait for it...Mike Fisher will do a YT vid any minute stating how we should be very happy Dallas did this ..thus covering Jerrys/Stevie's arse again..running interference as per usual.

 

[CTcowboy203]

It’s not really a guarantee of a 2nd deal…although you guys likely will be right. It could be a 1 year deal, draft a rb and see what we got then let him go

 

[jazzcat22]

Bad move IMO, but that doesn't matter. Hope it works out.

 

[bandfan]

If I have someone who is a known commodity I would much rather have him than taking a chance on the next Joseph Randal.....

 

[atlantacowboy]

Well thats the death knoll for zeke.

 

[Proof]

its playing Russian Roulette with the team by doing this. Not very smart.

almost guaranteed a dak extension with a lower cap hit this year. will likely wind up trivial, and he’s too dynamic to let walk imo. last time we did that we wound up relying on the panty thief

IF FULLY HEALTHY YES but history of the rb position says this is a bad idea. Then throw in the last 2 years where he's been hurt.

 

[CowboyFrog]

Well thats the death knoll for zeke.

he could still take a massive pay cut to his base, probably wont, but if he does he will be on the team.

 

[Rayman70]

Bad move IMO, but that doesn't matter. Hope it works out.

this front office been flying blind for 27 years.

Its a 10 mill gamble and I hate it. Dallas is assuming all the risk. NEVER EVER pay a RB a 2nd deal. Even if its a tag.

If they get the same production one year at 10 million isn't bad. They absolutely need to let him go next year. Draft a running back in the mid rounds this year. Pollard was a big weapon for this offense last year. One more year at 10 million is worth it.

 

[Carson]

so we are giving a 2nd deal AGAIN to a rb. Thats 10 million we won't have UNLESS we sign him and prorate the cap hit. Stupid is AS stupid does.

Pollard is worth it. He also won’t break the bank. It won’t be anything terrible like Zekes

might not be ready week 1.

 

[Rayman70]

20 has been injured 2 years in a row. We deserve whatever we get.

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

pay him $10,000 per yard gained next year

 

[CowboyFrog]

Well thats the death knoll for zeke.

I think it does mean you will see Shultz in diferent laundry next year though.

This has merit, luck or not it is a truth.

 

[Loso86]

Because the franchise is run by idiots.

Idiots until our fans complain ankut lack of a run game with a fresh crop of rookies and random signings at the RB spot

 

[JonesBoys]

might not be ready week 1.

If healthy than I stand by what I said. If he is a gamble and they lose that gamble than yes 10 million wasted. I'm hoping they know his recovery of the injury better than we do.
