Re-worked Tony Romo Contract Needed For Trade

... to $10 million next season, his deal could could also include performance attachments to a draft pick. If he starts 14 games, a seventh round pick becomes a sixth-round pick or a even a fifth-round pick if he takes a predetermined number of snaps, for instance. Lowering the base salary with incentives provides a measure of injury protection for a team acquiring a quarterback who has played in five games the past two seasons, throwing six touchdowns with seven interceptions. As Polian stated, "the lower the cost of (Romo's contract), the more you are likely given in return.". Not everyody agrees with Polian though. One thing people have missed - Romo's deal is VERY tradeable. $14 M for 2017. And basically team options for '18 ($19.5 M) and '19 ($20.5 M). __link__/VC 46 vesy 0 E.

Ranking Dirk Among The All-time Greats; Cowboys Free-agency Musings

... over Brandon Carr or Mo Claiborne? He's 30, and last season with Eagles was first he's started more than 12 games. Solid, maybe, but that's it. Means first-round pick still looks like CB. If you're wondering why Cowboys, with so little cap space and so many FAs on defense, bring back Terrance Williams and Brice Butler, check price tag. Between both next season, they'll make less than half what De Sean Jackson draws from Tampa Bay. Cowboys holding to organization's recent trend of going low in FA. If Stephen Jones is ever going to fix salary cap, this is certainly way to go. But sure puts pressure on draft. NFL Network's James Jones, long-time WR, likes Eagles' additions of WRs Alshon Jeffery, Torrey Smith, especially going up against rest of NFC East. Why? Called Cowboys' secondary "garbage." Ouch. Now that RG 3 is out in Cleveland, what are odds he starts again? At 27, he's ...

Cowboys Sign Former Eagle Nolan Carroll To Three-year Deal

... who has broken the franchise record for passing yards in each of his two seasons as Washington's starter. ( see full story ). Raiders: Smith denies public intoxication. SAN FRANCISCO - Suspended Oakland Raiders player Aldon Smith claims he was not detained for public intoxication Thursday. Authorities say Smith was detained in San Francisco after an SUV he was riding in crashed into an undercover police car, injuring two officers in front of police headquarters. Police say they held Smith for his own safety and released him once he was sober. Smith will not be charged. Smith told KRON  on Thursday that he was visiting a friend at the station. Smith told reporters he does not want to be seen as criminal and he's "never hurt anyone.". The woman driving the SUV was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving. Smith is on a one-year suspension for violating the NFL's rules on substance abuse. ...

Friday's Late Flurry Fills Roster Holes, Doesn't Break Bank

... three fresh faces to the defense: cornerback Nolan Carroll, tackle Stephen Paea and end Damontre Moore, sources said. All four players help fill glaring holes on the roster and should at least put the Cowboys in much better position to execute a pure draft in April without having to reach for need. Does Cowboys' 'toe-dipping' approach to free agency need a slight tweak. The four additions also didn't force the salary-cap strapped Cowboys to go outside of their comfort zone and break the bank. Williams, the Cowboys' No. 2 receiver from W. T. White who was a third-round pick in 2013 out of Baylor, was expected to command at least $6 million a season on the open market. Instead, the Cowboys were able to re-sign Williams to a four-year deal for $17 million, sources said, with $9.5 million guaranteed. The Williams agreement came a day after the Cowboys re-signed free-agent receiver Brice Butler to a one-year, $1.1 million deal. The Cowboys also hope their three new defensive players turn out to be bargains. They agreed to terms with Carroll on a three-year, $10 million ...

3 Philadelphia Eagles Takeaways From Monday

... to sit out his freshman season, and missed several games in 2015 with more hamstring troubles. Though the injury is insignificant, it's not a good sign for Lattimore. He might be the top cornerback prospect in his draft class, but it's hard to blame teams for feeling concerned over his history of injuries. If Lattimore is available when the Eagles pick (they own the 14 th selection, as of now), the Birds will have to decide whether the uber-talented Buckeye is worth the risk. Report says Philadelphia Eagles will listen to Jordan Matthews trade offers, but why. 2) Florida's Teez Tabor slows his roll. Like Lattimore, Tabor has been speculated as a possible Eagles target in the draft, but he failed to display impressive quickness Monday. His 4.62-second 40-yard dash was the slowest of all cornerbacks at the combine and his broad and vertical jump numbers also ranked near the bottom of the pack. Tabor's long been considered a player whose ...

Patriots Trade For Brandin Cooks; Nolan Carroll Headed To Cowboys

... Jones hopped on the back of a cart and was taken out of the building. "It's really tough, just because Sidney's one of our best friends, all of our best friends, (and) he's a great prospect coming out," Baker said. "Felt like he could have been the first corner and still can be the first corner off the draft board. The last drill, last thing you've got to do, and that happens. Definitely sad, but we know Sidney's strong and he's going to still be there.". Jones elected to turn pro after his junior season at Washington. In three years, Jones was twice honored as a first-team All-Pac 12 conference selection. Jones was the top cornerback for a Washington defense that led the Pac-12 with just 17.7 points per game allowed. He finished his Washington career with 145 tackles, eight interceptions and six forced fumbles in 40 games. Alshon Jeffery, Torrey Smith looking forward ...

... Darren Mc Fadden, Lance Dunbar, Justin Durant, Gavin Escobar, Andrew Gachkar, Mark Sanchez, Kellen Moore, Rolando Mc Clain, Josh Thomas, Ryan Davis. Because they are in even worse salary cap shape than the Eagles, the Cowboys have been quiet, at least in terms of free agent signings. For some reason, with their limited financial resources, they decided to pay former Eagles CB Nolan Carroll $10 million ($4 million in the first year) on a three-year deal. Meanwhile, the Cowboys have lost a number key contributors. In fact, they have lost six players who played at least 500 snaps last season (snap counts via PFF). DT Terrell Mc Clain. There are no stars noted above, but the Cowboys will still have to replace them with competent players. After having already lost safeties Wilcox and Church, the Cowboys are also at risk of losing cornerbacks Morris Claiborne and Brandon Carr. Otherwise, the ...

Previewing The Eagles' Offseason

... potential and will compel a team to take him early. The order of the cornerbacks depends on whom you ask. But on any list, Washington’s Sidney Jones (6-1, 170) will be near the top. The comparisons to Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters are not just because they’re former college teammates; there are the height, ball skills, and big-play ability that they share. He was first-team all-conference the past two seasons and had nine interceptions in three seasons. He knocked down 21.3 percent of the balls thrown in his direction, according to  __link__. He has a slight frame, but he could be a Day 1 starter in the NFL. That’s what the Eagles need. Alabama’s Marlon Humphrey (6-1, 196) has the prototypical size-speed combination with NFL bloodlines. He is a solid tackler for the position, too. Humphrey was vulnerable to ...
