Twitter: Slater: Very strong interest in Cowboys and Von Miller

[Outlaw Heroes]

Or maybe the just have no choice now. They tried to do their usual thing and the guy bailed on them.

They tried to do their usual thing and the guy bailed them out. I'm a bigger Gregory fan today than I have been in years.

"Depending on salary expectations" is a pretty significant qualifier. But I'll take it.

The fact they even need to add the qualifier is discouraging to me.

Depending on salary is standard for any team; however, when you go out of your way to make such a statement, it appears you are probably not willing to make an offer of any significance.

Maybe I'm reading too much into it, or maybe I'm too aware of recent history.

Well they will pay up to $14 per year for a RDE

30 guaranteed likely gets it done. At 32, Miller is still young enough the play at a high level for 3 more years.

33 in a week

33 in a week

Still not too bad

Micah,D/law and Von miller should not be legal

 

[dckid]

Cowboys!

Not sure how much I like Miller at this age. He has not had a double digit sack season in 3 years.
He was injured alot and over that timespan.

 

[gimmesix]

Just curious if anyone thinks Miller would sign the same contract offered to Gregory: 5 years, $70 million. That's $14 million per year. Not sure if the Joneses are interested that they would be willing to pay any more than they were willing to give Gregory.

3 years 45 million.

He had 8 in 2019, didn't play in 2020 and 9.5 in 2021.

Both years significantly better than anything Randy Gregory has ever done in his career.

I think he would. That contract is above market value for Gregory. I think Miller would take the 28 million guaranteed, and I think the Cowboys would give it to him. Its basically two years, with managable dead can in a 3rd if you cut him

Being 33, you're likely looking at a three year deal.

At this point, I would guarantee 2 and go from there. I just want us to get Von Miller lol

He probably wont play any run downs here either. You also dont need him on the field every single pass down with Parsons and Lawrence. We can keep his snaps down and keep his effectiveness high. We would basically try to do with him what the Broncos did with Ware

I think it would be two with some dead cap in a 3rd. Cuttable after 2 but you will eat a little

That is what I am hoping for as well.

Basham and Golston can eat a few snaps as well.

Golston may be your run down RDE or LDE depending on how he progresses. Basically 2018 Crawford

The five-year deal doesn't really have anything to do with his age. The purpose is to spread out the cap hit. Whether it's a three-year deal or five-year deal, it would be a two-year deal. Let's say we give a $20 million signing bonus. If we sign him for three years, that's prorated at $6.67 million. Five years means we save $2.67 million a year against the cap. It's the same money, just a different approach that saves cap space.

I'm all for "just get it done"! Then go sign Michael Pierce lol

Apparently, it was not above market value for Gregory since he entered the market and got it. Market value is what teams are willing to pay, and the Broncos and Cowboys were both willing to pay that.
