Spears not being Tendered... my thoughts !!

[Woods]

I don't know. A 3-4 team, especially one that doesn't allow its linemen to play one-gap like ours, might see going after Spears as a better option than trying to get a DE in the second round. He's been healthy and has become really solid against the run.

Sensabaugh also has a good enough season that some team might be more willing to risk a late second-round pick on him than take an unproven safety in the draft. His character concerns before he came to Dallas might limit the interest, though.

this is a pretty strong draft with respect to DL. it's one of the strenghts of this draft, imo. not sure if anyone wants to part ways with a 2nd for spears in this particular draft.

as for sensy, i think jj would match any reasonable offer. i wish he was tendered a 1st, but even with a 2nd, i don't think he's going anywhere. fingers crossed!

 

[Hostile]

Actually he doesn't.

It had to be in earlier today.

Any drafted player stands a chance of being a bust, and the guarantee of draft success goes down by round.

With Spears, you know you're getting a solid, dependable 3-4 DE. Not a great one (which might be the reason to give up the pick), but at least you know he can start and handle the job. Anyone looking for a pass-rushing DE/DT will definitely stay away.

I know. But you were implying he had until midnight to offer the RFA's the tenders.

Spears and Sensabaugh. Weird offers.

I thought Sensabaugh would get the 1st and Spears at least the 2nd.

well, i guess we'll find out if spears get lured away fairly soon.

i still think odds are he remains on the team, at least for now.

How bad *** would it be to have teams take Proctor, Hurd and Sensy.......

2nd rounders galore.

Not that I don't like Sensy.....just saying.

 

[dallasfaniac]

I would love it if a team liked Procter enough to give us a 7th.

Oh, I think it's most likely he'll remain. I just think it's a possibility with him that someone will be interested. It would surprise me if he got a big-enough offer that Dallas wouldn't be willing to match it, anyway.

personally, i don't think jj minds if a competing offer comes for players. it helps him to set the price for the players more easily (for long-term contracts). and if he doesn't want to match, he get the pick. kind of let the other team do the work for you.

Not enough cold water in the world to bring me off of midnight.

Is this a circus?

What benefit would there have been for the Cowboys to tender Spears with a 2nd? That would have cost them more money for the same compensation.

wait and see what their decision is, I hope they don't tender Spears with a #1 pick.

Although I didn't thought of it before, I do like the idea of tendering him with a 2nd round pick. Perhaps that would entice teams like the Dullphins, Chargers, perhaps NE, or even KC to give him an offer ( as opposed to not even looking at him if he was tendered with a 1st round pick ). That way the Cowboys don't match it and we end up with a 2nd round pick.

KC, NE, and TB all have multiple 2nd round pick and he'd be an ideal fit for them. The Dullphins are a good match too and they do need help along the D-line, but more for the NG position than DE position.

I wouldn't wait too long, I'd read more threads.

I have a feeling Jerry and the Cowboys are DARING Parcells to go for Spears.

 

[KingintheNorth]

I have a feeling that if we lost Spears to another team, Jared Odrick would be our #1 target in the draft. Supposedly, we already like him a lot.

uh, you suck?

I agree...perhaps the thinking is they would not attempt to resign Spears if he's an unrestricted free agent next year so might as well see if you can get a second for him this year. Bowen and/or Hatcher are probably ready to step up as the starter this year in his place.

Thank you. I just finished reading the other thread..

Ok, the bait is out there. Let's see who bites.
