Twitter: Shaq leaving Dallas without a deal

[Chuck 54]

According to reports, he promised 2-3 teams that he would make a visit no matter how other visits went. He’s trying to be a man of his word. It’s also a good negotiating ploy. Give Jerry a chance to match any other offer; Jerry is in Go mode….lol.

 

[rambo2]

Wanna put some $$ on that?

Sure, Dallas will be favored over Philly when they play.

 

[rambo2]

Don't worry we got cap boy on our side.

Lol, and they have done a great job building this roster.

 

[mcmvp]

If the Colts let him walk there is a reason. People always are into the name not the player.

I sort of feel the same way on this one. Who freely gets rid of a 28 year old player that has been an all pro 3 times? Teams that have seen the after effects of his back surgery perhaps?

They gave him a tribute video. At 28 years old. Anyone else find that odd? It’s something that is usually done for retired players that meant a lot to the organization. But he got one at 28 after being released.

If the Eagles sign him, I won’t get my hopes up. If he surprises me…I’m cool with that too

Of course they will be…but who gives a damn?

 

[817Gill]

Wonder how his medicals came back

 

[gimmesix]

I thought they have 13.5...where did you find that number?

$2.4 million is their current space. Doesn't mean they can't create more, or that we even offered him the $2.4 million Philly could without making any other move.

 

[Praxit]

He’s a man of his word. I like it

..ahhh, ok. So that's it. Wellz will wait

 

[Flamma]

Yeah, I expect Dallas to be a 2-3 point favorite. Anytime the good teams meet, the home team will be favored.

 

[rambo2]

Evidently, the guy that wants to bet.

I suspect 4 points if the Cowboys blow out the Seahawks.

A great job? They have built a roster that is stuck forever in mediocrity. That isn't a great job.

It had to do with guaranteed money for next year that they didn't want to pay.

Lol, I'm sorry but that is a stupid comment no matter what your motive is.

 

[slick325]

Makes sense that he would want to explore his market. Hopefully he and his agent pick the Cowboys.

Wouldn’t shock me if he meets with Philly and comes back to Dallas with their offer. Jerry is a smooth talker.

 

[Brooksey]

Let's the Eagles offer and then counter and sign him

 

[Cowboysheelsreds058]

I just want a win over the egirls period, regardless of what Vegas thinks.

 

[mcmvp]

lol…you have no idea why he left without a deal. He could be a capable player that is just weighing his options, or he could be a broken player they didn’t want. Or it could be just money…but stop pretending that you know

 

[AbeBeta]

I assumed he gets the guaranteed money, but not the unguaranteed part. so the money from cowboys or eagles is added on top of it. to be honest, I don't know how this part of the cap works

the guaranteed is offset by whatever he gets on a new contract. So its gonna be the minimum. Maybe one of the two teams ponies up for an incentive-laden 2024 deal or something but this is really more about where the dude thinks he has the best chance to revive his career.

As I see it, with LVE likely done, there is an obvious spot here. In Philly, Nakobe Dean may be back this year and still has two years left on his rookie deal.
