It's pure goofiness.. I just smh at it all.

Ware's been a good/great player for this team and he was rewarded handsomely for it. Now the team wants to reduce his salary based on diminishing returns and projected future play. It happens to everyone in the NFL.

I got no issue with the team wanting to reduce his salary, but I also have no issue with Ware saying no or not wanting his pay to be reduced to what the team wants. It's all part of the negotiations. First one blinks and the deal is done.

I don't think either blinks. Obviously the Cowboys cant carry him at the current cap number. That's not going to change. I believe Ware would've budged by now if he were willing to take a cut. I could be wrong, but he obviously is ready to move on, which is fine. i don't fault either side. Time to move on for both parties.

I have been trying to tell folks this. this may not be about the money with Ware. maybe he will take less money to have a chance to win with a good playoff type team.

Last week Adam Schein, from Sirius Radio, mentioned the same thing that you and I are discussing. I believe Ware wants out. Can't blame him with the way this football team is structured. It's a circus in Dallas.

After Ware is gone. who else is Jerry, Garrett and Romo going to blame for the losing? people are going to find out quick that Ware was not the reason this defense was so bad.and not the reason the Cowboys are losing. who you going to blame next?

Not questioning anything in your post, but I just wanted to point out that I hate Adam Schein. Miss having NFL radio, but I can not stand that blowhard.

If Ware does not give in just maybe he prefers to leave the Organization due to the team not being a Super Bowl Contender. I can't blame him. Why take a pay cut knowing that Dallas may not make the playoffs. He may not say this but deep down I feel he prefers to leave and play for a contender due to his current actions.

And Ware is one reason this team has been in a championship drought. He need only look in the mirror. How about a big time play in a big situation? Not enough of those critical plays from a player making this type of coin.

I understand your dislike for Adam Schien; however, he tells the truth about our favorite team. The truth hurts sometimes.

Not sure why cutting him is considered a threat. If Ware is cut, he'll still win in the end, because all it takes is one team with a plethora of cash, and Ware will be back amongst the elite in salary. He wins if the team cuts him today when FA begins. He loses if they hold onto him with no end in sight.

His injury history and penchant for being a one trick pony speed rusher that overruns his lane consistently will prevent a big payday.

I dont think anyone is blaming him for losing (I dont), just that hes too overpriced at current contract...

I liked Ellis, but his opinions on salary negotiations aren't that credible.

What are his opinions on salary negotiations?

He didnt have one...he just said at this juncture in Wares career its better for him to be in a 3-4 and that both parties should part ways...

Getting the job is no problem. Getting it at $16 mil per year is the problem.

I actually think Chicago would be good fit for Ware.

Wasn't referring to the quote. Maybe I should clarify that his own personal history of annual negotiating through the media for a raise soured me on caring about anything he has to say re: player negotiations.

Still liked him as a player..

How much does ware get from us this year if he is cut?

Everything I've read is around $8Mil.. His cap number is $16m. They cut him and designate him June 1, they save $7.5m this year.

For the last time. MAYBE IT IS NOT ABOUT THE MONEY! maybe he does not want to take a pay cut to play for a loser.
