I was just reading an article on DCC about maybe letting Dez walk after this season when his rookie contract is up. I might have to agree, why sign him to a deal so big that he will cost us another player like Murray. IMO, hes not that good and doesn't have a grasp of the playbook. I'd let his ass walk and pick up rookie stud in the draft and maybe sign a free agent veteran to take his place. Thoughts...

Is it possible if Dez walks, They sign Murray to a new deal, and try to go after either A.D. or Alexander and have the backfield run crazy behind that O-line?

I don't think they should let him walk. They also don't need to burn draft picks on offensive players. Not this draft anyhow.

What a excellent idea. It's also rumored that Seattle is going to let beast mode hit the bricks as well..

[yellowstang]

Doesn't the salary cap go up a decent chunk next year, with the new TV revenue adding a ba-jillion dollars?

Yup, should have a decent jump next year.

Lynch is going to hit a brick wall when he hits 30.

[mstng86]

I would sign Murray to a 3 year deal and look for his replacement in 2.

Haha, I just noticed I said Alexander earlier. They are definitely going to hit the wall, but i think he could be a nice 1-2 punch with Murray. Honestly, I think Joseph Randle can be a stub back but he is a fucking knucklehead.

lol.

Cleveland released Ben Tate. This is a huge positive for Dallas, and means Murray could stay. Murray is looking for a big pay day, clearly. And the Cowboys have all the ammo they need to keep him, and sign him to a reasonable contract.

More here.

Blount just got released, too. Not shaping up well for Murray.

[Nash B.]

It just takes one dummy to throw a bunch of cash at him, though.

It does, but you should take a look at the expiring contract situation that's about to hit them like a ton of bricks. It's pretty bad. 25 players, 20 of which are on the active 53 man roster. Jerry also knows they don't have the money to give Dez or Murray a stupid contract. They're already at 137.5 million against the cap, and that's with these 25 players not being accounted for.

Free, Leary, McClain, Durant, Carter, Randle, Harris, Beasley, Spencer, Selvie, Crawford, Moore, Spillman, Jones, etc.

Yup, this year is SB or bust.

IMO, fuck Dez. Put the FT on his bitch ass and sign Murray to something decent and try and sign as many players as we can. Its really the only way to be productive. In the words of late great Tex Schramm, "Bonuses?! Oh we don't give signing bonuses, you get playoff money, every year, while your here!"
