Sean Lee agrees to new contract

[CowboyRoy]

It's Rapoport so it has to be true.

Another great deal for the Cowboys keeping a good veteran leader. Coach on the field.

Witten and Lee for 7 million per year. Well done.

 

[Alexander]

Just think, they can now sell more #50 jerseys.

 

[conner01]

I'd love to know what those incentives are.

Probably similar to Witten is suspect

 

[zerofill]

I'd love to know what those incentives are.

Play 8 games.

 

[OmerV]

What I would do is save Lee for big divisional games and basically rest him outside of those games.

You can’t expect him to be and stay sharp without playing in the other games.

 

[JustChip]

I'd love to know what those incentives are.

They’re probably easily attainable if he is available for all 16 games, but it’s still a good deal because, unless I’m mistaken, earned incentives would go against next year’s cap which theCowboys are in outstanding shape with.

 

[TheSkaven]

So, now that we know he’s back, a serious question: how does he get on the field? Is the team really going to bench LVE for four series per game to play Lee?

Is there no way these football geniuses can get LVE, Jaylon and Lee on the field at the same time?

SLee at WILL........ LVE at MIKE ............. JSmith at SAM in the base package....about 20 snaps a game
LVE and JSmith as the Nickel backers

I could see something like this for snaps..... he played 21% of the snaps last year
25% - 1m .............would be NLTBE
50% - 1m ............. NLTBE
75% - 1m ............. NLTBE
NFCCG- 500k.......NLTBE

His cap hit would be 6.5m.......... saving 3.5m

Negative comment .Take that

 

[Birch_Wood]

I always come on here to get the skinny from @Risen Star. Thanks Dude. No negative comments here. good for us and the player. We need leadership and mentors and more anti-Irvings

Yes, he is a star in my book.

 

[Runwildboys]

You can’t expect him to be and stay sharp without playing in the other games.

Also, it would probably make it unfairly difficult to accomplish the incentives laid out in the contract.

 

[Redsfan_83]

Well this will certainly help with you know who, lol....just in time for E.T. to phone home

 

[xwalker]

This. Is. Awesome.

They basically converted him from a $10 million dollar contract guaranteed to $10.5 million, only $3.5 million guaranteed and the rest on incentives.

In 2020 he’ll be a coach on the sidelines.

Great work Jerry!

He would have made 7M in 2019 before the updated contract, not 10M.

 

[AKATheRake]

Knew it would be $3.5 million. Fair deal and we keep our best 3 starting LB's with a good cover LB in Thomas behind them.

I like Wilson but I doubt we keep him. I'm sure he's going to get a long term deal elsewhere. We got young depth and can pick up/draft more depth if a good value like Thomas is out there and need be.

 

[xwalker]

Likely
Total = 3.5M + 3.5M * ( Snaps Played / Total Defensive Snaps)

That would be:
Zero snaps = 3.5M
100% of snaps = 7M

You really don't get how our defensive packages work, do you?

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I have a strong feeling that everyone who wants a #50 jersey probably already has one.

Not even his performance?

you aren't seriously asking are you?

because that is one the dumbest things you have ever said
