Signed by Cowboys Turpin re-signed with 3-year deal

[John813]

Does extending him free up cap space? I honestly don't know how all that works!! lol

his tender was at 5.346mil for 2025, so odds are it did drop the cap hit.

Just seems odd to make him the highest paid ST unless there really is a gameplan to get him more involved in the offense.

Pretty sure he will lower his first year hit from $4.3 million.

But you are looking at 2-3 million max

2-3 million we could sign like 10 guys with that space, Stephen is pleased!!

He's one player on this team that's worth every penny.

Not an offensive number at all - as others are saying he should be a bigger part of the offense as a WR4.

Combine that with his return ability and I'd say there is decent value here.

Edit: $5.5M guaranteed means this is barely a 2 year deal. Even better.

Turpin Time!!!!!

This is very good news. I knew I could count on Jerry.

 

[lopey]

This I like

 

[jblaze2004]

We like our guys. I like Turp though. I wish we used him more on offense.

 

[reddyuta]

we still havent figured out how to use him in the offense properly,hopefully that will change with the new coaches.

3/18 isn’t bad for the best returner in the league.

It’d be a steal if the team can figure out how to use him on offense.

 

[reddyuta]

i predict the NFL will make all touch backs start from the 35 yard line,we will see more returns this season.

Jethro sure does like having the highest paid players in a few positions. Not sure this formula has won anywhere.

it only wins here, and reminds him of the time he bought the organization by taking a gamble!!!!!

 

[reddyuta]

good deal all around.

 

[MetalMike]

Yikes!! For that much he better be more involved in the offense

He SHOULD be more involved in the offense! All we can do now is hope BS does it.

I've never really understood the 'they didnt use him right' argument. I could see where there is an argument he wasnt used enough, but hes also a 5'9" 150lbs WR. He averaged 2.06 yards per route last year which is 26th best in all of football. He also averaged 5.8 yards per carry on the ground. I think it might be tough to squeeze more production out of him without just making him a regular 30+ snap per game type of WR which comes with obvious risk.

Good!!! Best return man in the league

What good is the best returner in the league when the defense can’t stop anyone and most teams kicking it past the end zone?
