That's worked oh so well for us in the past. How much cap is a QB not on the team eating again for the second straight year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can turn around and deal T-Will for a late pick, I'd be happy. I think I'm giving them too much credit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question to Dez why Now? Why not do these things earlier on his career? Why is it assumed that he didn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBoys Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I say we move Zeke to WR. He's good to go. Dak can be TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how those numbers work...eat $8m to trade Dez and find the $12-13m/yr to sign Thomas. I'm sure the $ could be found, but I still hate the idea. Hurns signing helps, but only if Dez is around. He has to be part of equation this season. Don't think with what Dallas has coming up FA wise...DLaw, Martin, and Dak is around the corner too, they make a play on Thomas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can they split Dez’s cap hit over two years if they do it after June 1st? Thomas’ cap hit would be $8.5m if he played under his current deal.

Now trading TWill or Bease and say a 3rd rounder is more like it. Seattle needs a WR and draft day is the time to make the move. Making a trade before hand we loose leverage.

DaBoys Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I would rather trade them Twill, Beasley, and a later pick for ET. We have two 6ths now. TWill, Beasley, and a 6th for ET? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas has a manageable number this year, it's the long term deal that going to cause an issue. http://www.espn.com/blog/dallas-cowboys/post/_/id/4765788/cowboys-recent-deals-acclunt-for-less-than-4-million-in-cap-space ...

Hurns deal not included Hurns deal is maybe $6M in space. So we've signed what 4 or 5 guys now and used $10M in space? Hard to complain about that. I guess the Fleming deal pushed that up a bit but still. Hurns Fleming Joe Thomas Deontae Thompson Olwale All for less than Sammy Watkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FO is proving us wrong on being quiet this offseason. Quite a few quality depth guys in our signings already. If this is their philosophy right now I really like it. Sign the depth, draft the starters. Edit: I'd also like to add they are doing exactly what I hoped they would do and talked about this in the last draft thread. Sign FA talent for WR and OL and address the other positions in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
