So who signed him to that contract again? Oh yes, the ones who screwed up the salary cap.
Hey, anyone think the dead money that Jay Ratliff accounted for would have been useful? Me too.
Yes. As much as I like Ware, the Cowboys need to start preparing for the future. We had Tony Romo, Jason Witten and DeMarcus Ware at the height and prime of their careers, and we didn't sniff a Super Bowl, much less an NFC Championship Game. And those three are considerably older. I just didn't/don't see it happening with those three now.
Maybe the savings will get us some young talent in here to start the rebuilding process. But I think Ware's time has come and gone. I think he can make more of an impact with a fresh start and a team that has talent to augment what he has to bring.
God speed, Mr. Ware.
Isn't John Fox a 4-3 guy. I know Miller as the SAM rushes most of the time, but Ware would still be the WDE and still get abused by LTs. If he didn't fit here, why would he fit there?
One has to ask why he was signed to a contract paying him double digit millions until he's 36.
Somehow I just can't help thinking that the Ratliff situation is the biggest catalyst for all that we are witnessing currently. One reluctant and recalcitrant player refusing to bend has been instrumental in the now complete dissolution of the Cowboy defensive line. The silver lining is the fact that Jones seems to have gotten a clue about how GM's have to conduct business in today's NFL.
Can't compare Apples and Steaks. Ware and Seymour should not be in the same level. I honestly do think he would be a double digit sack guy the next 3 seasons. Even 8+ is better than what the 3 lower tier free agents that Jerry is thinking of.
@AdamSchefter: Filed to ESPN: Pending a physical, former Cowboys DE DeMarcus Ware reached agreement with Broncos on 3-year, $30M contract include $20M gtd.

Sources tell me DeMarcus Ware will sign 3-year deal with Broncos as early as this afternoon.
