SweetFancyMoses Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 La'el is 26, so I do not mind locking him up for a reasonable salary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMossIsBoss Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I thought Collins had been average at best, but overall disapponting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltman Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 It's an ok deal, not head scratching. Get to lock in an ok piece of their oline for the forseeable future. (The state of line play is so poor in the league, everyone gets bumped up.) Which makes more sense given you really have no idea how long you'll have Frederick, the LG spot is TBD with Williams and Tyron Smith has his injury issues. Need to insure some stability, they now have the right side of their line locked in. I think the issue would be could you not draft a guy this year to develop to take over next year, and match his level of play? I think you could. Those are the gambles you have to take if you dont want to held out high and dry. From a value perspective it probably didn't need to be done now either, but saved a little money getting ahead of it. The player that made the most sense of this offseason was Dak, they missed that window. Byron Jones it made sense to sign now because of the big impending corner market. They are getting ahead of the market on either non-premium positions, LB. Or non-premium players, Collins. Puzzling way to go about it.

JBURGE Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 As a non NFCE fan, good deal in a vacuum, but I'll have to take another look at OTC cause I don't understand what they can fit in. Byron has to be gone, they won't be able to keep Awuzie if he keeps improving... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom cody Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Not the worst player they could get signed long term but I think getting Zeke back with a new deal has to be top priority for the Cowboys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collins is a $13m+ player on the free market. Teams would try him at LT knowing that he can fall back into OG, RT and be good enough. At $10m/yr I think its a really solid contract.

minutemancl Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 One of the best extensions/resignings this offseason. Insanely team friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams would try him at LT knowing that he can fall back into OG, RT and be good enough. At $10m/yr I think its a really solid contract. I agree, in this market they shaved some millions off. Couple other OTs up for deals this next offseason too. I think if you look at the caliber of player compared to all positions equally, no paying his level of talent $10 million isn't great. But that's not how it works> Both LT and RT are premium positions with a lack of premium talent, it drives up the cost of them all beyond the talent valuation. Cowboys want to just cash out with n ok player, knowing they have an all-pro guard next to him to absorb some of his mistakes...there are dumber ways to go about it. They need a strong enough oline to run the ball the way they need to, and not be collapsed in too quickly to disrupt Daks game. I think the only negative of this is the creep of what has gotten them in trouble in the past, locking in mid-tier to lower mid tier talent to long term deals instead of letting them go on their way and replacing them with draft picks. Doing it at important positions like RT makes sense, but you hope it's just those cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedGold Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 4 OL locked up past Rookie deals. Not sure I’m paying that many, OL as well as giving a ton of guarantees to a RB. No way would I lock up that many OL if I can’t plug and play a RB with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
