If I ran the team and was able to get LVE to sign a massive deal with a team protection I'd do it, but if he insists on a deal that handcuffs the team as he's on the sideline, I'd let him walk and take the comp pick.

I would as well....but the finger has been pointed towards Smith & Lee

 

[PDay8810]

But how many times was his contract redone kicking the can down the road?

Smith?
I don't know but he makes peanuts based on other tackles that have the same type abilities. His contract is not a good example and Lee's siuation is a worse one.

Now....If you wanna talk DLaw who plays hurt and disappeared once he got paid. If you want to talk what this team gave Jaylon Smith who hasn't lived up to his contract, then I'd agree with you. I just think picking Smith and his contract based on missing 3 games a season before this year is a poor one. AND slamming Jerry for what Lee has been paid the last two seasons is worse.

yep....think Martin might be moved to left tackle., could see Knight go to right guard and TE Bell play a shit load more lined up beside the right tackle.
Going to have to live will Williams at LG and prey the rookie center is all that and avoids injury

I'll say this for Tyler Biadasz... so far, he seems to be doing OK. He hasn't been called out for anything egregious and when you focus on him it appears this thing isn't too big for him. Still early but maybe when Looney gets healthy he moves to RT?

don't be coy....point your finger

Here's a finger for you

Sean Lee cap hit the last two years is $9M. Great locker room guy and great role model and one of the more underrated players of this era but this is a what have you done for me lately league and even if he were healthy it would be a struggle to see him worth that amount based on his play last year. The fact that you can't count on him to even suit up seals the deal. Would be shocking if he were back next year.

Smith cap hit the next 3 years: $14M, $15.3M, $15.4M. Well worth it if he were healthy and played 16 games but this will be the 5th year in a row he hasn't and over those 5 years he will have missed an average of a little over 5 games. If he plays 11 games at $15M, that's a $22M pace for 16.

Regardless, I think the obvious point on Smith isn't getting rid of him quite yet, it's planning for him to miss games and have a quality starting backup because anyone that watches the Cowboys knows it's almost a definite at this point and unlike other teams who may or may not need a backup OT, for the Cowboys it's not a matter of if, but how many backups will we need. So far we are up to 3 this year and 4 if you count moving guys around.

Looney is a good guy. I just don't think he's a very good football player and I think tackle may a bit to much for him than the interior

Easier said than done, but we might want to stop signing players with an existing record of contstant injuries.

There it is right there!! Jerry continues to draft players with extensive injuries in college. IMO if you have cronic knee, shoulder, neck etc. In college, don't draft them in the first 4 rounds or not at all. Jaylen could have been gotten much later in the draft. Miles Jack was much less a risk then Smith.

As usual, what you say makes no sense curmudgeon.

Taking Jaylon in the 2nd round was the oddest part. You see a guy that could excel and you think your doctor knows his medical history, go for it. But with what was basically a first round pick? Then lock him up early with that history? This team just tries to prove how smart they are and never fails to do the opposite.

Nope it has always made sense, which is why you remain butthurt all these years.
You just can't help yourself.

Still - I'm OK with Biadasz continuing to start. I suppose I could be convinced to put Looney at RG and move Martin out one spot...

IMO, your best 5 if all were healthy has Biadasz at center.

I think Martin goes to tackle and I think it will be left tackle...could be wrong, we'll see soon enough

You literally just repeat things I say to you a year later as if it makes it true. This is like the 3rd or 4th time now

He is very smart and assignment sure. I have complete faith in him.

That is all he does.

I'm OK with taking a flyer on a injured college player, because his rookie contract isn't going to be an anchor to the cap, even his new contract I'm ok with because he had shown the injury is in the past. Now has he lived up to that 2nd contract? No, but I don’t know how a team can determine the heart of a player after he gets rich.

Is it wrong that I'm hoping Tank and Jaylon are secretly playing injured and that once healthy they will get better again? Heck, throw Griffin and Poe in there too. Our only good defensive players so far this year have been Smith and Thomas. I thought Awuzie played pretty well before getting hurt.
