2012 Free agency chatter thread

I don’t know, these kids respond to money. Cowboys just need to pay up and move to other issues. He is not coming cheap and i think everyone already knew that.

Right, but I doubt we are low balling him. Finnegan signed right away because he likes fisher.

I am sure it's the contract details that's the hold up, like the guaranteed money or whatever but it won't look good if he leaves.

Hopefully they get Orton, a tight end and maybe Connor today anyway...this team needs help

The fact that its taking a day means there is a major impasse in negotiations. Not good.

Yea, i like the players the Cowboys have coming in. Fill in some holes and go into the draft and get some big boys.

Archer tweeted that the visit went well and they are still talking...said there is still optimism..

No it doesnt

By the way, how do you feel about all that whining you did about no internal moves or restructuring was going on?

 

[dbair1967]

If he leaves it says alot about Garrett-Ryan

It would be two years in a row we missed out on a guy we are dying to have.

.

Good grief

16 hours ago:

Just heard the Carr deal is official.

From where?

A coach who has ties to the Cowboys.

Source basically said that Carr won't leave without becoming a Cowboy. It's official and it'll be announced by tonight at the earliest...

Another sourcerer emerges?




Schefter, Lombardi, LaCanfora, + local media guys who do this for a living....

None of them are reporting this....

But like 5 internet personalities ARE?

And no one on the Zone can see through that?

lol

FFS

The funny thing about the above is, 16 hours ago, 30yardslant is saying the deal is done, hand shakes, etc etc etc.

Three hours later, Cortland Finnegan signs his deal.

And 30, sdogo, Hos, and everyone else is trying to say that the Finnegan deal is why no deal with Carr has been announced yet.


So... let me get this straight. The Cowboys brass are meeting with Carr in Dallas. They agree to a deal. But they wait more than three hours to put pen to paper?

Pure, unadulterated BS.

Anyone who has ever been in sales knows you ratify the contract ASAP. You don't wait.

Keep eating the cheese, zoners.

You're being fed a bunch of lies.

Read the sticky by the owner of that circus. Pretty much giving those three stooges diplomatic immunity because of their “sources”. Why that site is a joke. Pure comedy gold.

#Chiefs free agent CB Brandon Carr is still talking to Dallas. #Cowboys pushing hard, it appears.


Nu-uh, professional NFL Insider.... the deal has been done since last night.

I stake my internet reputation on it.

 

[Theebs]

Good grief

Take a deep breath dbair I didn't say anything bad about the team. I have said I know it's about money...you don't quote that though..as usual.

But if he leaves it's not a good reflection on the team that the guy we were dying to have two years in a row doesn't want to play here.

In fact who is the last big time player that had options that signed here? Glover? Ferguson? Davis?

 

[Theebs]

Listening to norm and he just said the team will be active in free agency addressing the offensive line.

Fwiw he is getting senile so take it with a grain of salt

 

[VA Cowboy]

Good grief

Exactly. Who needs good players?

I remember goose tripping over himself when the eagles drafted him and then said Dallas would suck because we didn't take lineman like Winston moss

 

[VA Cowboy]

Rumor per twitter source I have:
I heard that Rob and Carr were having breakfast in Dallas this morning... and that he should be signing today.

Hos and Sdogo scooped by joe. lol

 

[Theebs]

Hos and Sdogo scooped by joe. lol

Yea but hostile knows what they had for breakfast and how much of a tip rob left..

Side note it's alot he is a good american

Mild interest in a few veteran WRs for Cowboys: doucet, urban and devin thomas of #NYG but still looking

 

[Theebs]
