Well, the first offer was $33 a year, right? I'm sure Jerry said okay.

Let's get Dak done and get this over.
Anytime you sign a player to their first big contract immediately after they were first team all pro and they ARENT the highest paid player ever at their position it's a win. This idea that he bent the Cowboys over is silly. Hes making less guaranteed money and a lower annual salary than Jefferson. Only the signing bonus was a record.

I mean, it's obviously Lamb. He wanted to be the highest paid receiver ever and said as much. Also he was set to lose out on $1 million a week starting in two weeks. That sobers guys up really quick.

I hate giving out that much guaranteed money. Usually see a softer player after they know they're getting paid regardless of what they do on the field.
At 25 years old and a 4 year deal, I'm good with it. He's going to want to get paid again.
For example?
Fehoko and Scott… that 2023 draft class keeps taking hits.
Surprised about Scott.gigem1223 said:

Overshown looks like a steal when healthy, Richards looks to be a solid depth pick and Brooks looks to be a great pick. Jury is still out on Smith and Schoony. Those 2 really need to put up this year or it's a bust draft.

Shoot... I still remember when CD very calmly recovered his phone from that pretty little thing during the draft. There's no blink in that man!

Scott was a 6th round pick so I don't have anything to say either way about him. But Fehoko was a 4th rounder. Of all the head scratcher picks we've made in recent years, most of them have one thing in common... they were Dan Quinn guys. Fehoko, Mazi, Nashon Wright, Bossman... all were questionable at the time and 3 of the 4 have already been huge busts and Mazi looks to be right behind them.
No denying Quinn is good... our defense immediately improved when he took over. But there are obvious holes in that guys game and talent evaluation is one of them.

Probably neither side. He wanted to skip training camp. Not the first, won't be the last
Yep!
CD wasn't about to report to camp and get hurt during a contract year (this is EXACTLY what would have happened to Diggs if he hadn't gotten his extension before camp last year).
But CD was also not about to start missing Million Dollar game checks either!

The #Cowboys might not be done: Sources say 4x Pro Bowl RB Dalvin Cook is flying to Dallas tonight for a visit.

Unlike a year ago, when he was rehabbing from shoulder surgery, Cook has hit the weights all offseason and says he feels the best he has in years. pic.twitter.com/jT9Zsf91qB
Solid 11th year RB propaganda
Zeke was in phenomenal shape 3 years ago... he was still a shell of his former self.
When a RBs legs go, they are gone and they don't come back.

Good move. He's prob got another decent year in him.
He's so washed it isn't even funny.
214 yards last year on 3.2 YPC.

I don't think he was healthy. He was pretty decent in 22.
Not many 29 year old running backs replicate their 27 year old season
Yeah, he's def not what he was but I think him, as a part of the RB room, would be decent. He's better than Malik Davis.
He looked washed as a mofo last year. I think he came in out of shape (late) and just never got it together. I don't think it was injuries. Lots of miles on that odometer. If he's in shape, maybe take a look. But veteran minimum + incentives is about all he'd be worth IMO
Dalvin Cooked looked awful last year. Go get Boston Scott.
Yeah I don't think he is and frankly if I'm giving either a roster spot I'd rather give it to the $500k younger guy. But I think this is a moot point.
We will not see Nick Chubb in week one.

That was never even a remote possibility. His best case scenario was always going to be week 4-6. He could easily miss half the season.

Doubt he'll even be the same guy after that injury, at least not this year.

Texans just released Noah Brown. Definitely a Cowboy.

Yeah, I don't know much about his injury history beyond the shoulder last year.
I'm just coming at it from a him or "fill in the blank". I think he's better than Malik Davis. If there's someone else out there with the cuts, maybe there's a better, younger option, which is great.

"I've done it all," Jones told Clarence E. Hill, Jr. of the new AllDLLS.com. "So I have an ordinate amount of confidence that ****, if anybody can figure out how to get this **** done, I can figure out how to get it done. I've been there every which way from Sunday, and have I busted my ass a bunch, a bunch. And there's nobody living that's out cutting and shooting that can't give you a bunch of times they busted their ass. So hell no, there's nobody that could ****ing come in here and do all the contracts . . . and be a G.M. any better than I can.
"Plus, I'm where the buck stops. When it ****s up, I got to cover it. And so there you can't give anybody enough. Can't give. There's nobody can do it."
"I ****ing have had hundreds of [bad days]," Jones said. "I'm emotional about it sometimes. Well, running this thing, that's who I want to make the last call. Now, when I can't ****ing think, when I'm old and I can't even do it . . . but I'm a long way from not being able to do it too."
"The reason I don't let somebody else be the G.M. is because I don't have anybody that I will let do it to actually do it right," Jones said. "And they're gonna have to come to me and because I know where it is that you're going to pay for it."
"If I didn't give a ****, if this wasn't fun for me to do, or interesting for me to do, whatever you want to call . . . the facts are, I really would rather be ****ing around like this," Jones said. "The point is I love this. And you know I do."
