  1. The issue seems to be the contract language regarding forfeiture for fines vs forfeiture for suspensions. The latter is common place throughout the league, but the former is only used by the Cowboys. However they claim they've never actually invoked it for a contract. As for people being suspicious of Schaefer's claim that he's never seen this specific language allowing the forfeiture of guaranteed money for fines given that he's also La'el Colllins agent we should remember that Schaefer isn't Collins' original agent. I'm not sure when he changed but Collins used to have a different guy so he may not have negotiated a deal with Cowboys for him yet.
  2. So you're saying a Top 10 league pressure rate can't get a guy $28M over 2 years? I'd gather most GMs would differ.
  3. I don't really listen to The Fan but my brother who does said Bobby Belt was on 105.3 today breaking down how the Cowboys negotiations with Gregory went. To recap: - Cowboys told Randy he was the free agent priority multiple times - Dragged their feet when Tank wouldn’t take a pay cut and tried to chip away at his value by bringing up his past and saying other teams wouldn’t be able to give him a support system like we can - Told Randy to field offers from elsewhere and come back - Offers didn’t have the same suspension offset language and it sounds like his agent hasn’t ever negotiated a Cowboys contract, so the agent thought it was out of line for them to include the language. - Agent wanted Randy to go to Denver anyways, so this is where I think he took advantage of the “unusual” terms even though they’re pretty standard in Cowboys contracts and encouraged Randy to pivot out of Dallas

  5. The original 1619 project was composed of 10+ essays along with a bunch of poems and other historical references. How did one line in an opening essay that was mostly about how Hannah-Jones' father's continuous and earnest displays of patriotism confused her growing up become viewed as the over arching thrust and object of ire for the entire project? The truth is that the people who hang on to that line as the raison d'etre for the entire piece of work and therefore reason to dismiss the other 90s pages of work are really just betraying their motives here. Imagine basing your entire criticism of a book off of the fact you didn't like the foreward.
  6. Yeah, but you're forgetting one important aspect. He played for the Razorbacks. Jokes aside, I was surprised by his 4.55 forty. His highlight tape routinely shows him running away from a lot of SEC DBs. I wonder whether he's one of those guys who just runs the 40 with poor technique, or if he's a guy who is just much faster on the football field than his 40 would suggest.
  7. I enjoy this guy's long twitter threads.
  8. Say you've never read anything within the project without saying you've never read anything within the project. Even Dan Carlin makes mention of the revolutionaries hypocrisy on the issue of slavery being a prevailing core criticism of them at the time.
  9. Is there player in this year's draft more guaranteed to be a Cowboy than Treylon Burks?
  10. Cap Boy says the Rams don't understand how to work the cap.
  11. No need to overthink it. More than most franchises our Cowboys always fall head over heals in love with their draft picks. So they'll always pay premium freight to keep them.
  12. The defense absolutely locked down Jayson Tatum and gave us a chance to win in the 4th.
  13. Yep, Tre Johnson is the most polished sophomore I've ever come across in Texas. Kid is a bad dude. Lake Highlands will be a load to handle next year.
  14. How was that an upset? Mckinney already beat the #1 team in the nation Richardson earlier in the tournament.
  15. A WR needs the targets to produce. We refuse to utilize our playmakers in this offense. But at least we'll have cap space. Hopefully cap space will go for 1100 yards and 14 TDs next year.
  16. I'd love to somehow find Anthony Black on next year's roster. No other player in the state (outside of maybe Arterio Morris) has improved more than him over the last 18 months. His decision to give up football turned him into a McDonald's all-american over the course of the last year and half. That and catching another 3 to 4 inches probably did the trick.
  17. I hate that Richardson lost on a fluke play to Mckinney earlier in the tournament. Cason Wallace blocked Walter's last second shot but the tipped ball went directly to Alex Anamekwe's hands who tipped it in for a last second bucket to win the game. Richardson beat Duncanville early in the year and were ranked #1 in the nation at the time of their loss. The Richardson guards match up much better against Duncanville and arent the least bit afraid of them.
  18. Loaded Duncanville team with Anthony Black (#22 ranked 2022), Ronald Holland (#14 ranked 2023), Cameron Barnes (#90 ranked 2023) vs Mckinney with Ja'Kobe Walter (#26 ranked 2023) And before I could even start the thread Duncanville is already up 32-11.
  19. Not quite. There's plenty of room to maneuver under the cap by changing salaries to bonus money, voidable years, and a number of other methods of massaging the cap to a teams benefit. Cap Boy got burned in the late 90s and never recovered from his unyielding fear of the cap and thus runs from it like it's the plague.
