Texas_OutLaw7 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I can't get over our good fortune. We flip a 6th round pick for Quinn. Get a full year of Really Good production from Quinn. Will likely get a 3rd (maybe 4th) for said 6th round pick by letting Quinn walk for an absurd contract. We get a BETTER player than Quinn for LESS money and give up no draft picks. And will likely gain another Comp pick for the pleasure. Happy, happy days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel much better about Crawford as a rotational bench piece at this point in his career than trying to square peg/round hole him into a starting lineup that feels pretty solidified (RE- Griffen, 1T- Poe, 3T- McCoy, LE- Lawrence). To me only Poe would have a real chance of not starting Week 1 and starting Crawford at NT is even sillier than starting him at RE. $9.1M against the cap is pretty rough for a clear-cut backup, but it is what it is at this point. He's useful depth at least. I don't think Griffen affects Smith's snap share much per se, I think Aldon was going to be a pure situational piece regardless, but it's a relief to be in a spot now where anything you get from him is a true bonus and you're not actually relying on him. I think 5 sacks or so is the most we can legitimately hope for but I also don't think it's that unrealistic. Our team has done well with that type of left-for-dead reclamation project in the past. For sure. I think you're right about Smith. This signing allows us not to force Smith to do more. I still think Poe starts week 1. Don't see another good NT that will push him. Passing downs can cause a lot of mismatches.

If so, would have to be Woods to start the year I suppose. Jaylon mixing in as a blitzer behind those fronts is filthy, too. And while idk how much Aldon has left from a physical standpoint, I do think you can line him up all over the formation in 2- and 3-point stances and kinda see what happens. And if, major if, Gregory can be reinstated at some point... our DE and WR groupings would be so overwhelming for most teams that you can really dream big this year. I am.

SweetFancyMoses Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 7 hours ago, plan9misfit said: What has Clowney done to warrant a high comp pick? He’s massively underachieved as a player, and hasn’t proven himself to be worth a large contract. That’s why he’s remained unsigned. Do you honestly believe that a 1-year deal - with any team - would change that? I don’t. Didnt say he was good. He's young, and wants a big contract, so maybe he'd be motivated for a year, light it up and some sucker gives him a fat contract like Albert Haynesworth. He could also pull a Robert Quinn and just pass rush every down, and ignore the run game to get his sack numbers up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rb from GB loved Quinn's production as he averaged 7 Yds per carry to his side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextyearfordaboyz Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Forgetting the bind we are in with the QB contract right now, this has been an amazing offseason. If feels almost like Jerry and Stephen said screw it, let Cowboys’ twitter decide what to do. This is a great signing. Hard to remember any offseason where things have fallen into place so perfectly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPJ Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Is it just me or does signing Griffen feel like Crawford is no longer needed? Between Griffen, Smith, Armstrong, Adnan and potentially RG, I dont see him getting that much time at end. He isnt a 1T so now he would be rotating with Mccoy and taking snaps away from Gallimore and Hill. We could cut him and roll over the cap savings for next year.

However if the plan was to cut Crawford and hope that Aldon or RG play a full 16 games at RE, I would be a bit worried. I think having Griffen now gives us that luxury again to let him go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt79511 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Crawford really is the Rasputin of this team I hope McCoy is okay but if not at least we have someone with experience and chemistry with D-Law, and two recent high draft picks to vie for the backup 3T job. But, man, McCoy seems like a great dude, this ****ing sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
