Tyron Smith's Contract

[theSHOW]

Tyron Smith. To me he is the priority to resign on this team. So with Brandon Albert being signed
Albert had agreed to a five-year, $47 million contract with the Dolphins. And that's not backloaded: He'll get $28 million in the first three years.
And Philly resigning Peters ( 50 million over 5 years) we have a ball park figure for Smith who will make more than either of those guys. He's better than both and half the age of both. So yeah 10-11 million a year average at least. We need to lock him up on a 7 year deal. I still think we should try and trade Bryant if we could get a couple of high picks. I don't like the idea of giving him a huge deal. I like Bryant, but I am concerned that he has back issues at an early age. I just think Smith is more important to our future than Bryant.
Our left side right now is a LT going into his 4th year, a Guard going into his 3rd year(2nd as a starter), a Center going into his 2nd year ..... and they are all pretty damn good. and hopefully all three here for a decade
and to add in why I say important. Tony isnt going to be here forever .... The next guy is going to need a left side like that to protect him (especially when he is going through the learning curve) Right now ... I'd swap first with a team near the top of the draft and take Watkins to replace him. added with a top 2nd round pick and a future pick. Grab Hageman and Martin with my 2 seconds
Christopher Jones with the 3rd .... and this team just improved a hell of a lot

We're probably looking at 11 or 12 mil per.

 

[perrykemp]

My guess is Tyron Smith will get in the neighborhood of 6 years 72m with roughly 25m guaranteed.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

The good news: with Ware and Austin gone, the Cowboys will be able to afford to give Smith that kind of money next year.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

What about Flynn Smith?

 

[dbonham]

12 a year will not be a problem, and the longer the deal the better. We could have the cheapest franchise LT in the league in 7 years at 12/yr

Good sized signing bonus and front load the contract. Getting paid now will talk him into signing for a bunch of years. Then if he ever becomes injury prone, he is cheap to cut

I'm scared they have too much time and training to let Bryant go and he's a hellova receiver but besides the back issues he's starting to look a little bit like Ware to me. If he gets a few catches early in the game he seems like he get's complacent and disappears and they used to try to make him mad but this year it looked like they would joke around with him and stroke his ego a little bit. But they should be able to keep some kinda decent line together for a while now.

There is no way you get a 23 year old player to take a super long deal. He's going to be wanting to grab another giant payday around 29 years old - right where a 5 year extension puts him. A 7 year extension would have him on the market at 31 -- no agent is going to want to do that

What's the deal with trade Dez Bryant crowd?

I agree. I have mentioned the same. but a big 100 million contract might make Tyron think about it.

[pgreptom]

If I had to choose between a premier LT and a premier wideout.. I'll go LT every time. I say we'll ink both. Don't forget how much Jerry likes his fancy players.. don't kid yourself into thinking he's ever being traded.

You see, I am not in the jersey sales business so I purely look at it from a fans point of view. A fan who wants to win it all again. How about a comment about my move up in the 2014 draft for Watkins?

8 years 100 mil. An agent can look 5 years down the line for a bigger pay day, or collect his 15% and get to work on all those restraining orders Tyron will need against his family.



Also trade Dez draft Watkins? Talk about spinning your wheels...

 

[AbeBeta]

It would not. If he's still at an elite level, he'd get it on the next deal. If not, he'd get cut because his salary was too high and not see the money. Worst case for him is year 6-7 of that deal he is still elite but paid well below market value

The thing about it is .... There is no #1 receiver in Free Agency right now.
You will never see Dez's trade value any higher than what it is right now.
So who might be in the market for a #1 receiver? I can think of the Rams, and they have an extra first. Also picking towards the top
Raiders, Jets, Jacksonville, Viking, Washington, but they have no 1st
you get 2 young receivers if Escobar progresses your future TE
Left side of the O-line for many years Smith will have a big contract but everyone else on rookie contracts...... gives you to draft well (hopefully) and basically 2 years you can start from scratch with the cap space and how we use it.
While staying relevant and never truly going into full out rebuild mode, puts you in a position to be one of the youngest teams in the league ..... missing a few pieces..... Which is where you want to be

All contracts don't have to be back loaded. 9 years at 12 mil is 108 mil. This is a player who could get a huge bonus and small 1st year salary then level it out for the remainder. With the cap increases this is not such a bad strategy and we keep probably the best player on the team. Smith gets paid upfront and never really sees a low pay year. This is mega money to sign off on. And no matter what type of contract that is agreed upon the Cowboys want to build around our LT.

 

[dbonham]

Switching out your developed recievers for rookies is fine until you get a Mike Williams instead of a Calvin Johnson.

Also the trade market for WRs is not great- Vikings got a late first for Harvin, and before that the last blockbuster trade was Roy Williams.

Someone gets it.
