We made a trade?!?!!

 

[Trouty]

Like 7 or 8 mill for th next 2 years.

He’s not worth half that.

Rams got us on this one.

Horrible. Stupid trade for a failed gadget guy

 

[visionary]

I like the move for the price
Speed to WR and on special teams

Hope he's not owed too much money
That would be the only hang up

 

[Carson]

Didn't he sign a stupid contract prior to last season? What's the remainder on that? If it has term left, this trade is a head scratcher. If we can cut him and not be hurt by it, then it's small risk little reward. He was awful in STL/LA

That contract is what matters.

One year 7 million

1 million contract, 6 million roster

 

[Elusive6thRing]

what is his contract/cap hit??? not sure if good pickup

He's on a one year 7 million dollar contract 5 million dead cap which shouldn't matter.

 

[HungryLion]

So another small, speedy WR? How many of those do we need? Seems like another Lucky Whitehead type player who won't amount to much.

Austin has much more ability than that scrub Whitehead.

I am thinking he is more of a Dunbar replacement and we should use him like that.

 

[nightrain]

I hope they find a way to help this guy become more productive. $7M for a dude who caught 13 balls last season is a tough sell.

Rams got us on this one.

Your wrong. $1M base and $6M roster bonus for this yr only.

 

[Lutonio]

This is going to be the new end around guy?

 

[Silver Surfer]

Cowboys got "Lucky" with this deal (punt returner/jet sweep runner).

 

[NorthwestDallas40]

I think he is our 3rd down scat back like Dunbar was. We missed on Hynes and Ito Smith. So flip a 6th rounder for a former 1st rounder who is great in open field. Also, he just restructured his contract and took a massive pay cut to $5M this year (plus incentives). I like this move.

 

[Tabascocat]

He can take the top off the defense though, open up the middle of the field.

 

[Trouty]

One year 7 million

At least it's only this year.

 

[kevm3]

for a late round pick, this wasn't a bad move.

 

[NorthwestDallas40]

He makes a lot of money..


I’m not a fan of this.. I hope I’m wrong.. He’s just not a good nfl player.

Nope. He restructured his deal in March. Only counts $5M.

 

[Cowboyz88]

Again, I'm calling my shot — TWill is gone.

 

[jterrell]

Interesting. Could be that Lance Dunbar type.
Has about as many carries as receptions.

A speed weapon and this team needed offensive speed.
