Less money for Nnamdi: Cowboys reached agreement with Marcus Spears on a 5-year, $19.2 million deal

[papapepper]

UPDATE: The Jets have redone the contracts of LB Bart Scott, RB LaDainian Tomlinson, LB Calvin Pace, G Brandone Moore as well as QB Mark Brunnell to set the stage for Asomugha, according to NFL Network insider Michael Lombardi.

They are already talking to Romo, Austin, and Ware about restructuring. That was solely to fill the holes they have. DL, FS, and SS.

Have faith in Jesus Jones!!


Marcus Stroud is out there, and he will be cheap I bet.

[idrivea4banger]

I read Romo has agreed to restructure his contract. He was injured last year so wouldn't that be a given he'd get paid less anyways??

[bcoop]

They may still be able to renegotiate other contracts to make room if need be.

Romo being one

What about the theory that these free agents might actually see the Cowboys are good with Nhamdi's addition, and lower their price at a chance for a ring?

I'd say the odds of that are between slim and none.

[mstng86]

That's why I said they need to address their needs now. Not later.


Matt - if you're going to fill those spots, why not fill them with the beat you can get? They don't exactly have a choice in the matter. They HAVE to pick up players for the positions I mentioned. They currently couldn't play an NFL game because they don't have ANYONE in those positions. Sign what you need. If there is still room for Nnamdi, then go after him

Lost in all of this is there still isn't a real safety playing for the Cowboys.

Speaking of the rangers, do you think the reason chuck greenburg was booted was due to michael yoing and that drama that went on in the offseason?

I thought one of the main reasons that he got booted cause he went behind Nolan Ryans back after he said that they were out of Cliff Lee race. But I dont know if that is true or not.

[Silverback]

I told Matt this earlier, but I'll say it again.

NOT a fan of the Asomugha move. Cap is $120 million. Asomugha wants $16 mill/yr. You shouldn't be paying one player 10+% of your budget. Especially when it's not a need position. Absolutely it's an upgrade. But they need to shore up the DL, FS, and SS position. Now. Signing him won't allow good players at the need positions.

I disagree, I think they can and will make room for him, and still be able to pick up some of filler guys who have played for Ryan.

I don't think he's going to get anywhere close to 16 million, no one has that kind of room, on a team he wants to play for.

I think he's backed himself into a corner with only the Cowboys and Jets looking at him now, and he's gonna have to settle for less money.

GTFO with all that snooze ball talk!!

Nhamdi being on the outside IS going to put pressure on the DT. There is no doubt about that. Teams are going to resort to alot more running, so yes, we need to figure out how to shore up that position.

Lost in all of this is there still isn't a real safety playing for the Cowboys.

I'll also add Nnamdi will wind up in Dallas. Jerry doesn't lose. Especially when he has his eyes on someone. He can't be reasoned with, and can't be talked out of it, his mind is already made up.

I'll agree with this statement. In a way I wish my teams had a owner like Jerry Jones.
