I respect your opinion on the matter, even though I think it's a bad precedent to set, everyone is entitled to their opinions. Just now saw this. Sorry. You're right, agree to disagree. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sucks to lose him, but you can’t help but his respect his decision and especially his reason for it- that he knew he’d never again reach his own personal standards and wanted to move on to other walks of life where he could. Tyron may be one of the most impressive specimens to play in the NFL, and Martin may be the guy who pushed our OL over the top, but one could easily argue that Fredbeard was the most transformative player on the OL for Dallas. The immediate stability he provided at C helped take us from a laughable OL in 2012 to a pretty good one in 2013. He made everyone’s jobs easier, there’s no doubt about it. Once more, cheers to one of the greatest players to don the star in my relatively short time as a fan. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a positive note...wonder if they don't try and work that extra $7MM into a deal for Clowney or Griffen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants WAY too much money compared to what his production has been. He was offered contracts which were already substantially higher than what's reasonable, and he turned all of them down. I can only imagine how p!ssed we'd be if we overpay for him and then watch him underperform like he has. No thanks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just I'd feel a tad better adding him right now to go with Smith/Gregory. Obviously, Griffen is my preferred target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People and organizations have the right to change, adapt and grow. Telling him to go f himself seems counter productive. Should be encouraged that he finally got on board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
