Cowboys and Sensabaugh nearing agreement on five-year, 22.5 million extension

PFF once ranked Ken Hamlin as a top 5 safety in '08 or '09.

That was Theo.

Nobody else has ever thought much of Hamlin.

 

[dbair1967]

Nice contract, not a ridiculous amount of money and he has had a good season. Hopefully he will continue to improve within the scheme. Unlike Elam he has some flexibility to play either safety spot, and he is definitely the mroe athletic of the two.

No, that's the source theo kept bringing up.

I'm not sayin he's great. Hes Ok and more importantly, he's cheap.

Think about this - you were also complaining about Scandricks deal, he just happens to be our 2nd best corner..but think about this

If we lost Sensy, Elam, Scandrick, and Spencer this offseason, oh and Newman...how the hell do you think this team would fill all those holes in 1 offseason? They can't. Signed Scandy and Sensy cheap and TNew is definitely a goner. Let's see what happens with Spencer.. 2-3 holes on D are much easier to fill than 4-5..we haven't even talked about the holes on the oline yet..sheesh. That's a lot of work man

Please post more, lol

That...is....awful.

Wow, every time I think Jerry's Level of Stupid has maxed out he goes and shoots way past it.

5-year deal? for Sensabaugh? Gerald Sensabaugh? Really? Really!

He got only 8 million guaranteed and probably minimum or clsoe to minimum salaries for the first couple seasons. He's a decent starter, clearly not elite but he isnt the problem back there. Wish he'd make more plays, but keeping either him or Elam was probably necessary and of the two, Sensabaugh is clearly the better player IMO.

Well I'm glad the Maryland inner city guy likes this deal :thumbsup

You probably jut Want a white guy playing safety...

Jason Sehorn?

How about keeping neither?

Why do we reward stop gap players with long term contracts?

Seriously. So when Elam leaves, and Sensy becomes the man back there who has to think, where he's clearly shown in the past that he can't. We can't get rid of him and JG will continue to start him.

 

[GloryDaysRBack]

How do you guys expect to fill all these holes if you keep neither?

Yes, we can get rid of his ass. 8 million over 5 years ain't shit.

Sensabaugh is an average to above average starter. Not every player can be a probowler or all pro guy.

The other safety spot can be upgraded quite a bit though.

 

[dbair1967]

Exactly. For that money even if he got beat out and became a backup and core special teamer, its a solid move.

Sensabaugh is awful in deep coverage. He has zero or bad instincts. He does well coming forward but any time he back pedals he is a weak spot. He has been in the NFL 7 years and a fulltime starter for 3 and he still makes bad decisions, taking false steps and God awful angles.

This is a mistake.

Not for the contract he got. He doesnt HAVE to be a starter. if he is, he's a dependable guy back there. But if they hit on a draft pick or two or sign another free agent and he became a backup nickel/dime back and core special teams player, its fine.

If they had signed him to Eric Weddle or Troy Polomalu money, it would have been a mistake.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Keeping Sensabaugh beyond this year is a mistake. This whole secondary is awful.

 

[Theebs]

Wow

So I guess sacamano doesn't own a sensebaugh jersey huh....

 

[GloryDaysRBack]

Explain to me how you can get a brand new secondary and fill 1-2 holes on the oline in one offseason, to justify not signing Sensy and Scandrick. And being better next year.

Good luck

You can't sign an average safety to a 1-year deal anymore?

 

[GloryDaysRBack]

We pretty much just did that w Sensy
