Twitter: Von Miller would have taken less to sign with Cowboys

[TheMarathonContinues]

Man, this comment got me torn homie. The front office is bad...yes. Any of us here could do a better job...doubtful. But I get it lol

I ain’t gonna lie….if I ran this office we’d have all types of trash here lol…we for sure wouldn’t have Micah lol.

Dallas offered Miller 5 years for 70 million w/ the first 2 years guaranteed. That's reasonable. He didn't "want to play in Dallas" that bad.

That’s what people are missing. If they offered him at his age what they offered Gregory then that’s fair. I can’t fault them be simply didn’t want to play here that bad.

I feel like that's right where I'd draw the line. He got an $18.5 signing bonus. At 33, I'd be surprised he'd want to play much past 35.

Keep in mind neither side is badmouthing the other, Dallas & Miller both have stated they just couldn't agree. It's business. Much different than the Gregory situation.

Von Miller last year in a season when he played for two teams had as many TFL as Randy Gregory has in his entire pro career.

I think he also played in more games last year than Ganjory played in his career!!!!!!!!

SMH The Jones gang can't get any of their current players to take a Hometown discount, yet this guy claims he would have taken less money to play for the Cowboys {coming off of a super bowl win with the Lambs}. Does he really expect anyone to buy this malarkey??

Yeah I never pay that much for someone that age....not even giving him a Gregory deal.....but it ended up being like a 2 year guaranteed deal if I'm not mistaken but that deal has disaster written all over it.

 

[Pass2Run]

Think about that. These morons actually had the same value on Randy Gregory than they did Von Miller.

You mean more.

He's good for 2 years, then he might even get another contract, but Buffalo could let him go.

I'll never understand the Randy Gregory phenomenon.

I think Dorance Armstrong is a JAG and he could probably replace Gregory's production.

Gregory only decided to start playing when we got Parsons. That's the other thing. And yet, he wasn't great for us. He could have cost us the playoff game, in fact, with all of his pentalities. . Gregory was OK, but he still benefited from Parsons.

He's trying to set himself up for a future contract if the Cowboys don't win with the draft strategy, just in case he doesn't play up to his own contract.

Either that, or that he gets to earn his contract by the Cowboys accepting a trade later on if he happens to flop there. Future negotiation tactic for a 33-year-old player.

It's almost like they were so lazy they simply offered what they already planned to have budgeted.

Stephen is still trying to figure out why Von Miller passed on the terrific offer by Dallas.

I see your point, but if he flops in Buffalo why would the Cowboys want him anyway?? Makes no sense..

Dont put the country podunk rejects on a pedestal. They arent smarter or better than anyone cuz they got money. Jones got his money from his daddy who started an insurance agency which grew huge took the money from and got lucky with an oil business. Daddy was already rich that allowed him to open up business ventures and he got lucky.

You must be joking with an all-star LB, WR and CB to sign in the next 3 years. They are all going to want over 20mil per year in long term contracts. We still owe Dak a boatload of money on his deal as well. If the Cowboys Fans are that urgent, they should move to LA and follow the Rams.

Did you even understand what I was saying? Everything you said was true but still a front office that hasn’t won anything in 26 years doesn’t have the right to think about contracts that far in the future. If it were any other sports franchise in the world they they wouldn’t have the time to implement their 10 year plan they’d be fired before that. As far as fans that aren’t urgent, after 26 years if you are a fans that’s not then I think you should check your pulse.

Ppl need to remember how bad this front office is. I could 1000% do a better job

 

[Adreme]

I mean Micah was kind of the easiest pick ever. They needed defense and the only other 2 defenders who were rated in his class were already picked so it was Micah or a big drop off.

I don't know, maybe I'm in the minority but I don't think Gregory is all that good. He hasn't proven he can stay on the field and he hasn't proven he can be a consistent player. I feel like he's greatly over rated on this board. He had a couple splash plays last season but there were games that he didn't show up, especially in the playoffs. Why are we still pining over an inconsistent, mentally unstable player that contributed very little to the team since he was drafted?

Yeah but he was a linebacker and I could’ve got one later on in the draft. I was taking Slater or trading up. Like I said, I would be a terrible GM lol.
