I would either extend Lee or attempt to trade him. But would really prefer to extend him. Take his 1yr 7M to a 3yr ~$15m contract. Probably fully GTD if need be. LB get hurt at a high rate. And Lee is worth that to ensure us always having at least 2 stud LBs on the field for the next 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been an utterly outstanding linebacker tandem. They were outstanding today. If Glass Joe can ever get back on the field, I’d like to see how the three of them would play together.

quiller Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 GB. Dak. Beasley. Maher Front 7 Jones clapper: I got nothing. Guess I need to rewatch the game and the TD drive we gave up to find something to say add as HM on a side note. I know for years it has been a given that you don’t draft or spend on a kicker and generally they are replaceable. I was changing my mind the last few years with Bailey but man Maher is making me rethink that especially As Bailey was driving me crazy with short kicks leading to kick returns in critical moments of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you use a rotation to keep them fresh, but Jaylon and LVE seem to have energy and explosion for days. Moreover, they legitimately seem to feed off of each other. They just keep getting better and there's absolutely a confidence/swagger element to it. Absurd as it seems to bench the long-time lynchpin of our defense, I just don't how you split those two up with what they're doing right now.

WizardHawk Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I think it's pretty simple. Thanks for everything Sean. You can stay for half the money owed or retire and join coaching staff or find a new home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could try some more 3-3-5 looks, think I saw us using some of those before Joe Thomas got hurt. I guess it's a good problem to have, but I certainly don't think 43 fronts against 11 personnel is the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resilient part 2 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Aren't the Cowboys pretty well off "cap wise" next year? we are treating Lee like "must make room" cap casualty. Lee is just too good to just let ride of into the sunset. In the meantime Lee should be back after the bye week. Does he start again? and for who??

He gets the Romo treatment...LVE is the hot hand. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I get that, but Football does employ 3 LBs most of the time. and like Matts said, having at least 2 on the field all times is a good thing. Either way, I am on the side of keeping Lee (cheaper if possible) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So who is starting when Lee returns in 2-3 weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
