Sean Lee accepts pay cut, Cowboys reportedly still in mix for Thomas-Undisputed

I want some of the drugs Skip takes before coming to work.

Thomas wants to play for us. He just wants to much money. He has already moved here. Maybe if he can’t work out a deal then he either comes down on price or retires.

He made 10 Million per season in his last contract. His agent during media leak week said he wants 15 and Dallas said they want to pay 8. Its not hard to picture something working out around 10, especially now that two big spenders have already filled their dance cards.

Thomas wants a long term big money deal, where is plays is an after thought.....

People need to get off this ET gig,, it just is never going to happen,, go back to posting pictures of your vacations on Facebook, or even better, taking your dog for a walk.
ET will come to Dallas only if every team in the league takes a pass on his 14 mill demand, and drops by half, and maybe two pushups just to push the deal through.

If we hold at a 3-4 year deal at like $8-9MM per, someone is eventually going to swoop in and give him a much shorter term deal for more money.

In other words, I could see us slapping around trying to get him to take $9MM per and some team swoop in with a one year, $14MM deal that he takes and thinks he will then cash in again next offseason.

You see this all the time. Alshon Jeffery had a soft market, took a one year deal in Philly and parlayed that into a much more lucrative long term deal.

Not sure anyone is going to offer him big money for long term.

Reports i have read says he wants just a 2 year deal.......not sure about you but 2 years isn't a long term deal.

I agree about the big money part you said though.

He wants 2 year 30 million, Dallas said they are wanting more like 8-10 million a year. Perhaps a 2 year 24 million (12 a year) with incentives to get to 30 million could get it done.

Viagra?

Does he really want to come to Dallas? No, his main interest is that his pockets are filled by the biggest fattest contract.

I know.

But Sharpe is so comical with those expressions and eye rolls.

He has really worked on his shtizk.

And damned good dresser.

If they can get him at 10 or 11 I think they pull the trigger.

He actually moved to Austin, not the Dallas area. Austin is where he went to college and where he worked out in the off-season, and likely is where he wants his permanent home to be. It’s not unusual for players to have their permanent homes in a city they don’t play in, so I don’t think we can read too much into the move.

Looked like Lee was held on that 3rd down play.

Isn’t taxes better there also.

$9-10M guaranteed + 2M incentives = $12M per on 3 year deal. We stay within our range and he gets an extra 2M to save face and minimize our risk.
