Restructuring Romo gives us flexibility to do what we want with the cap, it costs us nothing to do it. Worst case scenario we don't use the money and it carries over to next year anyway. We've restructured Romo well within the confines of his contract length, and have a very healthy cap moving forward.
Carr might get snatched up quickly, but he and the Cowboys both know what his market value is and that is probably 2-4 million a year. If he takes the appropriate cut, this could be a very good place for him with the increased pass rush. My guess is they would want to redo his contract for something along the lines of two years 8 or 9 million dollars.
I always wish the best for this guy, but he does not ever come off as a guy that burns to win.
You never hear about how he studies film. How he's the first one in and the last to leave. Works with coaches and players to improve technique...
I don't recall anything saying that about him.
I still don't. Anyone tweet how he's in Valley Ranch studying film? Working out? Anything? Ever?
I've lost hope on this guy and Byron Jones is the Anti-Claiborne: Smart, studies, desire to win, and measurables Clai could only dream of.
Let's go Jones!
Edit: I do recall the tweets last year about his battles with Dez and the year before in camp. Big whoop. That all really lead to something... So I don't want to hear it about that stuff because it happened in two consecutive camps and both years he underwhelmed when he did play.
Claiborne is looking to make a return during Training Camp, but he has a lot to overcome. Assuming he is healthy this year, it has to be recognized that it is a contract year for him. I think we will get the best effort out of him that his health can manage. His entire career is basically resting on this one year for him.
I also hope that Carr takes that pay cut. I think he still has a role here for now, but at his level of compensation it just doesn't make sense. I'm still mad the Cowboys didn't get Tillman, who would have at least been a low cost insurance policy.
I agree but I think they played the card too soon, because they were expecting to sign a FA or re-sign Moore.
I wouldn't mind signing Claiborne after this season to a cheap extension...obviously not picking up his 5th year option was smart but I'd like to not completely give up on him...I can't imagine he'd be too expensive on the open market
They made no effort to resign Moore and instead signed Corey Moore for the same money.
Isn't the injury he had pretty much right below micro fracture surgery in terms of difficulty to come back from? I wanted Mo to be good and if he does end up turning it around i feel like it will be for another team
They wont. He called there bluff and won IMO. I dont think Free had much of a market when they threatened to cut him. Carr can get 7-8 million per somewhere
He literally has a reserved parking spot at VR for outstanding work in the offseason. He works hard. i think he doesn't play through injury very well and has wavering confidence as a result of it.

No bueno in the world of the NFL unless you are a transcendent talent and he is not.That's what I've always heard: a very hard worker, and a very nice guy who's soft mentally and who doesn't play through injury.

Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.
I thought he played decent this past season before he got hurt. Even had a game sealing INT
I think Mo gets a little bit of a bad rap. He's actually fine technique wise, but a bad scheme to start off with, combined with injuries caused him to lose confidence and play tentatively. I fear (for lack of a better term) him leaving and becoming a defensive Jimmy Smith.
