WP - Skins drove up price on Davis $20M Guaranteed!

I have one simple question? Why do Foreskin fans care who we signed and what we paid them? Why? Because they know they're gonna be our little **tches for a long, long time. If they weren't worried about us, why would they be here and why would they care?

Are these trick questions?

The RedStink fans are here because it makes their little "thingy" appear bigger then it is...it's called wee-wee envy.

Now, had Davis signed with the RedStinks he would be the bestest and baddest mofo on the planet and the Midget would be the bestest and greatest GM on the face of the earth!

Keep up, Star4Ever...this always happens with these poor losers...!

We will see what they think about this "big fat, lazy bum" Davis when he's pounding their team into the grass...

Joe (strength coach) will get Davis into football shape, and the fact the he is from Texas and now with a Cowboy Texas "family"...he will be ready to smear some RedStink butt into the turf...

The other reason the RedStinks are over here?

Fear...they are scared...and they should be...it's always that way with our little sisters...

NO Guard with worth 20M guaranteed!

If that was market value, so be it. But the market was a sellers' one this year, and a few average players really benefited.

This particular weekend of FA is going to change the face of the NFL, I'm afraid. Things will never be the same.

Pretty amazing any Cowboy fan can say that no Guard is worth it after watching Larry Allen all those years. Im not sure I like this signing, Davis has bust written all over him but Dallas has to get bigger and tougher inside. Hopefully having more talent around him will elevate his level of play.

I hope and pray the Commanders sign him so that could be one less mistake for Jerry Jones to make...

Hypocrite much?!

You guys do realize that this was written by a Washington Post beat reporter who, in no way, drinks the Kool Aid that comes out of Commander Park, don't you?

You're kidding. La Canfora? When it comes to the front office ("Coach Joe") Kool-Aid, he's swimming in it.

the Washington Post has been giving Snyder and Co a free pass for all their wondrous work since 1998.

Hypocrite much?!

But, the Cowboys have him now...now what? It don't matter what I say...and it matter WAY MUCH LESS in what a RedStink fans has to say...


:laugh2:

But, you know...if your loser team would have signed him? Yeah, he would be a world class player...just like all those other high priced bums your team signs...

Giggle on that, kiddo!

 

[SultanOfSix]

Is the "'Skins drove up the price on Davis" along the same lines as the "'Skins are showing only 2% of their offensive playbook"?

 

[gimmesix]

[The Cowboys were his primary suitors all along - many at The Park never figured he'd leave there without a contract in the first place - and after the Dockery signing came through, Davis's price went up. Dallas balked at first, so he jumped a plane to Ashburn, but I never got the feeling the Skins were going all out in any way to keep him. If anything I think they were finally on the receiving end of some gamesmanship, driving the price up and making Jerry nervous, rather in years past when other teams and agents used them as pawns to get the Redsking to essentially bid against themselves for certain free agents.

So I guess they are also after Colombo and Gramatica, even though we haven't heard about it, since the Commanders aren't really interested in them either but want to drive up prices.

Take your medicine like a big boy...cause he owned you on that post.

 

[superpunk]

Commanders fans are unbearable.

Go to your home, and enjoy your secondary worth of first round talent, where there are no holes.

Maybe you better research his post before I take any medicine, because I DID NOT SAY THAT!

Where are all the Boys fans who called him a lazy, underachieving bum who would get overpaid by Snyder. Looks to me like times have changed!

Kudos To The Skins

[FONT=Times New Roman,times,serif] If what I am hearing from some agents - who are not directly involved in the negotiations - is true, then Leonard Davis is about to pocket close to $20 million guarnated of Jerry Jones's money, and the Skins have shown some welcome restraint.
This dude is a classic trap. Yeah, he's big and atheltic, but he also has a six-year body of work that shows he is exactly what he is. He was a big-time underachiver, but could always do just enough to make some scouts think, maybe, just maybe, if the work ethic improved the intensity cranked up he could be a beast. But he had serious warts and giving this guy Hutchinson/Dockery/Steinbach money - never thought I'd write this sentence - is way too dangerous.
If The Snyder and Coach Joe would have actually paid this dude I know several people at Commanders Park would have given up and thrown themselves off the roof.
The Cowboys were his primary suitors all along - many at The Park never figured he'd leave there without a contract in the first place - and after the Dockery signing came through, Davis's price went up. Dallas balked at first, so he jumped a plane to Ashburn, but I never got the feeling the Skins were going all out in any way to keep him. If anything I think they were finally on the receiving end of some gamesmanship, driving the price up and making Jerry nervous, rather in years past when other teams and agents used them as pawns to get the Redsking to essentially bid against themselves for certain free agents.
I also don't blame the Skins for holding the line on Dockery. At the end of the day we're still talking about a solid but unspectacular GUARD who had a strong 2006 season but also his share of struggles before that. Don't get me wrong, Dock could be the complete package and maybe his offseason dedication in 2006 is a sign of things to come, but still, for that kind of money? I can't see it. You're giving guards who never have shown a Pro Bowl pedigree more money than a lot of left tackles make.
So where do the Skins go now? Well, I think you can still get a solid guard on the street. Again,. talk to football people and they will tell you this is the easiest position to replace. You can slide backup centers and tackle often to the position and make the switch. Gaurds get the most help on the offensive line and it's the easiest position to get a starter out of the draft in the mid round in the draft (if the Skins trade down as many in the building hope to, look for them try to pick up a guard in the third round or so).
There were people on the staff who liked Montrae Holland, who signed a $1 million deal in Denver yesterday. Adam Timmerman would know the system from his time with Al Saunders in St. Louis, but many scouts think he's probably done a sa productive player. The sense I get is that there will be no rush here.
They'll also look for a tight end, probably even this week. But I don't see them breaking the bank there either.

We'll give you the benefit of the doubt, but I'm wondering if the signing of Davis would have caused Commanders fans to jump off the roof, what in God's name did they do last year?

 

[newlander]

they think their mini-me look alike owner can buy a Super Bowl. Can't be done. Unless, he smartens up some day and bribes the BEST football minds from N.England, Pittsburgh, Philly, or Indy to come aboard and fix the mess. But he apparently won't do that. It's too much "fun" to go out and overpay for guys like Archuletta, Randle El, Fletcher, Carter, Wynn, etc.... and the list goes on and on. It would be sad if it wasn't so pathetic. When did George Steinbrenner consistently win? That's right, when he got the right Mgmt. in place and got the 'F' out of the way. The day that the midget does that will be the day to be worried. Until then............................. BTW-foreskin trolls that come in here and talk smack can NOT in any way, shape or form have a life. How can you have time for that? I wouldn't lower myself to going into a foreskin, iggles or g-spot web site. Unreal.

Yeah, that's the only thing he could do...it's pretty sad. It tells you alot about someone that resorts to that kind of tactic...but, at least all us Cowboy fans know his game now...his true colors just showed what he's all about.

But, what do you expect?

 

[HeHateMe]

Dockery's contract for a guard and Davis' ability to play RT is what drove his price up.

Nothing more, nothing less.

On the other hand, how did Archuleta manage to get so much? Was it only because Chicago had a semi-interest in him?

Please, move along.

 

[NoLuv4Jerry]

first of all...this guy lost all credability when he used Derick Dockery and in the same sentence with this list of FA OL....after that I stopped reading...
