YESSS. What a joyous moment for this board. Can we put Brian Waters' face next to the homepage banner? Lol

From NFL.com

The Cowboys have agreed to terms with Waters on an undisclosed contract, a source tells NFL.com's Albert Breer.
The two sides had been dancing around a deal since late July, but it soon became evident that the 36-year-old wanted no part of training camp. Now that the games count, Waters has regained the itch to play.

I am very happy that Dallas is scratching his itch!

 

[gimmesix]

I know. I expect this was more about wanting to miss TC than money.

Would have to be if that's all he cost ... or maybe Dallas' apparent bluff concerning playing Free at guard caused him to drop his asking price.

 

[Bowdown27]

Curious to see what the deal is

 

[BAT]

Age wise and the fact he played last year and BC coaches him so he knows the scheme and he is 3 years younger. He did want to play but he didn't want to leave his young family. I don't blame the guy for choosing that route. But if you can't see my point it's pointless debating it with you.

I can appreciate his reasons too. But the fact remains, his heart was not in it. Would you hire someone who really did not want to work for you? I would not.

 

[Rockport]

The Cowboys agreed with most of us that the offensive line we'll start Sunday night (minus Waters) was not going to cut it. Way to go Jerry!

 

[Deep_South]

1.7 mil? Holy hell, that's a steal.

The article is so poorly written, there is no way to know what ESPN is actually saying about the amount of the contract.

Love coming home to news like this. Welcome Mr. Waters.

Oline should be much better than last few seasons.

 

[jobberone]

Well if he can play that solves a good part of the depth problem at G AND T.

 

[erod]

Brilliant move.

This is one nasty dude, and this line needs a dose of that. Frederick will benefit immensely, and Free can move back to tackle.

Three nice backups now in Costa, Bernadeau, and Parnell.

I'm guessing we don't see him until week 2, but that's ok.

 

[Dale]

Love the signing. He doesn't have to be a Pro Bowler to be an immense improvement for us. Really does reshape the line and its depth.

Any chance he's out there Week 1? Surely no, right?

 

[Staubacher]

We got a monster OL now. Smith beast Leary beast Tfred beast Waters beast Free well he's ok.

We gonna flatten some folks, open holes and Romo will have time back there to get 18 holes in.

36 years old, out of football for 18 month's..be careful what you wish for...

I'm guessing if he's in decent shape he dresses but doesn't start. Maybe 20-30 snaps? Sure hope so

 

[TwoCentPlain]

I don't really care for this signing. Is he going to be ready by Thanksgiving? I didn't think the OL was in desperate shape. Oh, well. We'll see soon enough. I hope he provides some value to the team.

Never been hurt, pro bowler in the Super Bowl 18 months ago, and he's just a guard. Not like he's running fly patterns.

The secret sauce baby!!'n

Who is knowing these things. I gave you a like because who knows when I'll see you again. You have to have at lease one like dude.

AGE, he's not 26, he's 36, major difference.......and offensive linemen go fast, when they go...
