Twitter: Stephen Jones: Cowboys are meeting with Tony Pollard’s agent this week

[JayFord]

Put me down as opposed to every personnel decision they’ve talked about so far.

When Stephen Jones speaks, I cringe.

when Stephen speaks i quickly remove myself from listening distance

No chance in hell do they tag Wilson. $14 million for Wilson? No chance.

You can sign pretty much every safety on the market no named Jessie Bates for less

u underestimate their ability 2 *** things up.

On the market sure but at the moment there are 14 safeties under contract making 14m or more (with the highest being Derwin James at 19m AAV).

 

[Hennessy_King]

There is no1 to use a tag on. Stephen go to ur room and shut the hell up

Correct. But is Wilson even the best safety on our team? Look, I love Wilson as much as anybody in this board, but I just can’t break the bank for him. I could get Vonn Bell for two years, $14 million at 7-8 per.

 

[Risen Star]

I imagine we'll overwhelm them with our offer.

Franchise Tag is $14M for a Safety, Dono will not be tagged.

Stephen needs to hammer out a 3yr deal forr TP, but he's content to use the tag.

Then it'll be Shultz unless........Jones boys are lying again.

Yes. Kearse is a leader and all that but as far as play it's Wilson.

Jones negotiation = Pollard 6 years 100 mill

No that's what he'll get on the market the first day of free agency!! We want 6 years 9 million!

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Same thing with Schultz last season. They will tag him

I agree but the fact he left open the possibility of not tag TP and is meeting with his agent, makes me wonder if they are shooting for a long-term deal and saving the tag. TP's injury puts him in a bit of a bind. No other team will consider giving him any significant G-money while he's injured. He's looking a what May-June before he's healthy. Free agency is pretty much over by then. I can see Stephen offering a short 3-year contract with 2 years of G-money.

I really hope Pollard and the Cowboys came make a deal without the tag being applied.

why? to save a couple million next year? (serious question)

I'd rather they ride Pollard hard for one more year and then move on. 3/$24 type deal wouldnt be too bad but I'd rather just go 1/$10.

Jones negotiation = Pollard 6 years 100 mill

Oh heaven forbid!!! Please NO Jerry.
I REALLY like T. Pollard, but numbers like that? Not only would 100 M be asinine, so would 6 years.

 

[America's Cowboy]

just threw up

Let me hold your hair while you throw up.

 

[JoeyBoy718]

Whatever you do don’t give him a long-term contract. You should be drafting a RB almost every year in the mid rounds so you always have the next man up on a rookie contract. Since they don’t have the next man up, it wouldn’t be the end of the world to tag Pollard for one year while we draft his replacement.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

I really doubt they will tag Pollard....either deal or no deal. No one is worth a tag by the Cowboys this year. Schultz can take a hike.
