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

[LifetimeBoysFan]

I think there is more legit interest in Miller.

But I see him wanting too much

That’s true for every difference maker free agent we avoid here. He could want the same as Gregory dollar for dollar and they’d find a way to argue how it’s too expensive. Even if he is the better player. Until I hear the Cowboys express interest and not just hear Von Miller’s, it is still ET 2.0

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.

They paid for projection, not production. Reddick signed for close to the same money and he has 24 sacks the last two years. The market value for a player with Gregory's production is significantly less than what he got. He got market value for premiere player that he hasnt proven to be

Cowboys!

Von Miller will take that retirement money from Jerry Dumbo GM Jones bank account.

Market value is what teams are willing to pay, not what you think teams should be willing to pay. It is not production value. Sometimes a player's market value is much higher than his production. It can be based on projection, but it is still his value.

If you want to say Gregory's market value was too high, I agree with that, but it was still his market value. This is where Cowboys fans get it wrong when they get mad about what the Joneses pay their own free agents. Market value is often much different than what fans think a player is worth.

If anybody's willing to co-sign on this loan I can get our answer from Fisher.

For those that think the interest is only one sided.



Sick burn. Cowboys! in your face.

Randy Gregory saw the high interest in quotations and....

 

[BobSacamano]

Wake me when he is in TX, giving his presser after everything has been done if junior don’t mess up again.

Lol

 

[BobSacamano]

He is about to turn 33. 3 years, 30 million?

The Cowboys FO just needs to look and see how Calais Campbell is still tearing it up nearing 40 and get the hell on getting a deal with Von done.

 

[BobSacamano]

Everything is salary dependent, hater.

Lol

Cowboys!

He'd smoke Randy. Randy would rather smoke other things.

 

[Coogiguy03]

Come visit Von, but I can picture the expression on his face dropping when the Jones boys give him an "honest" offer.

Don't phones work anymore???

 

[Coogiguy03]

Key words: On Miller's part.

Meaning HE'S INTERESTED???

Seems like it. Makes sense since he's from the area and always wanted to be a Cowboy.

 

[erod]

He's a situational pass rusher. Extremely useful, but not worth major bank.

And again, it has not in the past. We made what we felt was a competitive offer for DeMarco Murray, but Philly offered more and he left. We replaced him with Darren McFadden, a cast-off by the Raiders who did not cost us much (two years, $5.85 million). That's with us coming off one of our best seasons since the 1990s with a nearly 2,000-yard back.

The Joneses' stated philosophy is not paying high prices in free agency because they believe the feeding frenzy inflates contracts to the point where you can never get value until after the initial frenzy subsides. They need starters and they sign players like Kazee (1 year, $1.27 million) and Carlos Watkins (1 year, $1.75 million). No matter what the need is, they have been cheap since adopting that philosophy.

Again, the only exception that gives us any hope is trading for Amari Cooper, but that only came after the cheap plan for replacing Dez completely unraveled.

AND technically RG was a FA ,so another in the same monetary zip code is the exactly what they already tried and its not out of line thinking they will do so with another DE, a FA DE, LIke umm Gregory was in fact a FA DE,.if that doesn't make sense to you sorry you simply do NOT want to.,again we have months to assemble team and im not worried,.
