Signed by Cowboys Terence Steele contract extended

[jazzcat22]

I could see this one going badly like Jaylon Smith. In this case you have to lock up good linemen. Steele has shown improvement every year.

Obviously you are not aware of Jaylon's injury and how severe it was.

 

[jazzcat22]

To think....97% of this board had him cut his rookie year.

Like they do with every player.

 

[CCBoy]

Pretty good thread, Sir!

 

[Cowboyny]

Glad for him! Awful in his rookie year, turned into an excellent run blocker and is getting better as a pass protector. Many say he is the hardest worker on the team

Hopefully this doesn’t end up like the other contracts we pay to players off injuries…

You still need money for other players.

You do know there is a salary cap?

I understand your concern, and share it, to a point. But I'm pretty sure the Joneses know there's a salary cap, and they aren't prone to recklessly writing contracts for players who aren't putting butts in the seats and jerseys on the fans' backs. I'm sure they've got a plan.

 

[Ring6]

ok I love this.

 

[CWR]

Yes sir, he's a young stud, only getting better.

This fan is already at his Thanksgiving Meal as I'm gobbling this up and chuckling at Philadelphia now.

Chomp chomp...

I think Steele is a good player, without a doubt an above average starting RT. But is he top 6/7 in the NFL like this contract says? I would def argue that.

Look at the whole team, and specifically the o-line, if there’s 1 thing this front office is good at it is plugging holes with draft picks. You’re telling me they could find and develop Steele as an UDFA, but couldn’t find an above average starter in any other way? Seems a bit far fetched, especially with Richards already showing promise.

See, that's avoiding the question.

You've made a claim, now I'm asking you to support the claim, not by asking me my opinion, rather by presenting your evidence that you can easily replace Terrence Steele.

 

[Runwildboys]

Doesn’t have to. He was a top RT in the league last year. Just has to stay healthy.

What kind of pessimist are you???

 

[Cowboyny]

Wow that is alot

Our rushing offense disappeared when he went down last season, he is an elite run blocker

 

[Hardline]

Those doubting are like those saying hippies and rednecks will never get together.

Reminds me of a Merle Haggard song.

 

[SoCalBoy]

Now we just lost Asim Richards.

Why?

 

[Beaker42]

Now we just lost Asim Richards.

What are you talking about. He’s on a rookie contract for 4 years (or 3 if he pulls a Zeke) and Tyron’s replacement.

It was Martin last year who said Steele was best run blocker on the team.

You aren't paying for his past performance but his age and ability projecting forward. Is what it is.

Ooooff this thing is giving off Tyrone Crawford/Jaylon Smith vibes.

 

[SoCalBoy]

To think 97% of this board had Jalen Tolbert cut last year. Maybe fans just aren't that smart.

 

[Blitzen]

Are we allowed to say this contract sucks?

It does. Bathe in it.

Thank god somebody said it. They should have waited to sign one of the 5-10 elite tackles that enter free agency every year. Or drafted one in the 4th or 5th round like all the other teams.
