Speculation: Cowboys Front runners for Lamar Miller

[Nirvana]

Not sure about that line in cement smh

 

[erod]

He's young, so I'm fine with $6.5 million a year. Just don't guarantee too many years.

 

[Alexander]

I'd go only as high as $5.5 million per year. I wonder if playing for 'his Cowboys' is worth $4 million less?

If being a fan counted, maybe. But it never does.

Thanks for the big analysis Fish!

Paying that $$ for Murray is questionable but Miller is a lot younger and has less tread. At some point Dallas is going to have to fork up the cash.

And a lot less success. He had a year very similar to DMC.

6.5 per year is crazy for Miller

In entirely different situations. Romo's numbers weren't that great this year either.

Winning doesn't seem high on players' lists either, with Malik Jackson trading the penthouse for the outhouse ( and a truckload of cash!)

It is worth 4 million less, and if I were his agent that is exactly what I would tell him.

If you come to the Cowboys and become a multi time rush champion, potentially win a super bowl... well you're going to have a lot of opportunities outside of football that will pay more than 4 million.

Same reason why I think Tony Romo should take a pay cut.

I wouldnt be shocked of the Jags win some games this year.

LMiller wasn't injured this year or last year.....don't see the Romo comparison

I have a feeling that practically any competitive free agent contract can and will be called that this year. And probably going forward.

I can see a day where teams hand out contracts well over value just to meet CBA requirements.

I'm sure that's what Jackson is telling himself.

And we havent even seen the Clayborne numbers yet.

Could be a game changer

"Crazy" will be the buzzword for free agency this year.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

He's only worth about 4 million a year. No thanks . Draft a running back .

 

[darthseinfeld]

I'm sure that's what Jackson is telling himself.

I think they have a solid shot at 8. Maybe more if Fowler is 100 and they hit on a LT at 5. Very potent offense from a skill position standpoint

 

[RandyOh]

Get prepared fellow cowboy fans. This is probably gonna happen at least a couple other times in next couple days. It will be reported that we have shown interest in some of the bigger names but it's nothing too serious. We will have a spending limit on every player we show interest in and we will quickly fall out of the running to sign them.

 

[Silver N Blue]

So looks like Miller is out...I hope this isn't going to be another disappointing FA/Draft regarding the RB position like last year was...this team needs a bellcow to be a legit contender
