Von Miller over Wagner

[john van brocklin]

It is apparently not simple for this front office.

LOL Bob!
Quit being so hard on our front office!
I mean it’s hard to get reliable cell phone reception on the yacht!

It's not either/or. Miller cost virtually nothing. They could sign both.

The inside linebacker corps looks reasonable at the moment.

I think they are still working to acquire Brooks, Crosby, Sweat, or Thibodeaux. That may have to wait until the trade deadline.

I'm not sure they even know what they prefer right now.

I would love to sign Wagner
I am not sold on our LB crew

Wagner is a big need. Overshown has not played inside and he has not played a full season. Wagner should be signed as a primary rotating ILB. This defense needs his stability.

They could restructure Bland, moving most of his $12 million base. They could restructure Ferguson, moving most of his $7.25 million base. They would inherit Crosby's $30 million base, but could shift most of that to bonus and add a couple of void years, so even with what they have left right now they could afford him. I mean, if they converted $25 million to bonus and prorated that over five years, he'd cost $10 million this year. They would need to do the same next year, though.

Stephen is more the problem than the cap frankly.
The dude is so financially conservative and risk adverse you would have to lock him in the basement to do anything radical

 

[john van brocklin]

Unless Dallas has a major injury in the linebacker group, I don't see Wagner in Dallas at this point.

I know front office said they're still looking at adding players but I feel like Crosby to Dallas isn't going to happen especially with Miller is now on the team. I could be wrong though.

Unfortunately Overshown has not been reliable.
We need Wagner now why we have some negotiation leverage.

Alway enough American Pie to make another baby out of wedlock for old Jerrah.

This is why Brooks would be my priority.

 

[JayFord]

You can still get Wagner……

That way he can split with Overshown

Sorry but i dont expect O to play more than 7 games

From the “Book of Stephen”, chapter 1, verse 1.

Lol

I agree. I would love to have Wags on this team and was saying this all summer before the draft. I just feel like at this point, the front office is going to roll with Overshown & Barham as long as they're healthy and see what we have in those two going forward this year.

Plus, we don't know the price point to obtain Wags, he signed with Wash last year for 9MM. I don't think he's getting off his couch for anything under 7, especially when he was top 5 in tackles last year.

I like your way of thinking!

If winters isn’t the starting mlb then there is reason for concern

They need both.

Cap space is simple to manipulate. The Eagles and Rams do it all the time.

Exactly. All these years later and people still don't realize cap space is a myth. Jerry and Stephen cry "broke" because of a couple big deals and people believe them.

The Cowboys could acquire Crosby if they wanted to. All they'd have to do is rework his contract so his base salary is low and the rest of his salary is signing bonus. Then you spread that bonus out across future years.

In theory you can kick the can down the road indefinitely since the cap keeps increasing. Yes, there will come a point in time when you are paying players no longer on the team, but all teams serious about contending do this.

Wagner was an incredible MLB, no doubt. If his roll is to just be a teacher, then yes, he'll be a great option. But, if there's fear of the durability of one or more of the current, young LB's, then Brooks is the way to go. He's a hellava LB, still in his prime and is very bright, capable of being the architect of the defense.

Why is Jordyn Brooks even being brought up?

The Dolphins just signed him to an extension last month, that guarantees 100% of his salary through 2027. They plan to keep him.

Satellite radio, lol
Jerry wants a ring before he can’t appreciate it any longer. Maybe things are changing a little I don’t know.

It's a very tradeable contract, and they're in a major rebuilding mode that will take a few years.

But we'll see.
