I think it more likely results in the star system we had in the 90's. It started great but ended with diamonds surrounded by trash, no depth and 1/3 of the cap getting occupied by dead money. Maybe we'd have to sacrifice Fred the way we lost Stepnoski, but I think it's more likely the middle tier guys we lose.

But let's say you're right. If we drafted a defensive player that turned out to be great, or Lawrence or Crawford became great, wouldn't that put us in the exact same situation? Is the goal to not add great players on defense?

A $100m contract is a $100m contract. What does it matter to the cap if the player was drafted by us or another team.

Also, couldn't we say we made room for Suh when we cut Ware? Seems like a pretty even swap cap-wise.

An in-house player can be evaluated how they play in the Cowboys system, and an in-house player can also be had at a semi-discount if you buy out the last year of the rookie contract, or if you can leverage the franchise tag against them. But I think the reason for the big difference in success rate in in-house vs elsewhere is the ability to evaluate them and how they play in your system with the players you have.

Doesn't make a difference, if the Lions franchise him we have almost zero chance of getting him.

I think, that at a cost of $26.7 million, the Lions have zero chance of franchising him.

That said. I have no interest in paying him upwards of $15 million per year on a huge contract.

Do not want.

The ONLY issue in regards to Suh is we can afford him. Outside of that, he's what this defense needs. The man destroys an OL.

My personal view is this team is in win-now mode with Romo. Once he's gone, this team will have to hit gold with a QB again anyways before it starts competing again. I say pay the man. I'd rather have him then Murray. I think most of the running game is a product of Callahan schemes and the OL anyways.

Are you OK with $15 million per year and a deal likely over $100 million total?

Was it a bad thing when the team signed Ware to a 6 yr for $78m in 2009?

In retrospect, it proved to be, yes.

If it wasn't, Ware would still be here.

Based on your question, are you in the "Yes' camp when it comes to paying Suh $15 million per year?

This is not address to me, but Suh is a more consistent game changer than Ware.

Ware had his share of highlight plays and a few games that he really blew up, but Suh causes problems down after down. He makes the other 10 guys on defense better.
