Karras then?

I keep hearing from dudes that he is a much better LG than Center?

Bozeman is the guy you must be speaking of, is he still around?

I don't really have anyone in particular in mind, I just don't think Linderbaum will have the anchor to play NFL center effectively unless he gets bigger.

His short arms are the only thing that concern me and that is a valid concern especially in the AFC North.

We have big, physical NT's in this Division. I could see us passing on Linderbaum for these very reasons.

Still, don't know who your big bull at Center is. Karras is physical but he isn't really big compared to other OL.

Meh. If I'm offered 2 deals of the same value, and one has a behavioral clause and the other doesn't, I'm taking the one without the clause.

If you have decent behavior to start with, it shouldn't be an issue.

They also stood by him as he continued to get suspended for drugs and oversaw him getting help and reinstated back into the league. Again, don't blame him because they didn't forewarn him it would be there but I think with better communication both ways he is in Dallas still.

Well for Gregory, it is. For a lot of Cowboys it is. They've taken a lot of high risk players through the years, hence them putting this clause in a lot of contracts. It came back to bite them.

True, but that's the risk the Cowboys take with these types of players.

I'm glad our team stopped taking high risk guys.

FWIW, Gregory's agent claimed the Cowboys slid in some language that made all guarantees null and void if Gregory gets a fine.  He said he'd never seen that from any other team.  The Cowboys then tried to claim that it was their standard language, but he later found out wasn't in Dak's contract.  He said it was common language in case of suspensions, but not fines.

we know he already said no once...hopefully he is a man of his word

Tom Brady has been aggressive in recruiting the @Buccaneers’ free agents back to Tampa over the last 72 hours, I’m told. Ryan Jensen and Carlton Davis back in the fold, and there could be more coming.

It is in every deal Cowboys do, Dak is the exception so picking the exception isn't a good rule. I know what the agent said, it was misleading because it was in his previous deal as well.

The fact they just traded for a G tells me they are moving on in a different direction.

Wonder what the chances Gronk and a couple of others tell Brady no, and he decides to retire again after getting the other guys to sign. I wouldn't be hedging my bet on Brady at this point in time if I were them.

To me it sounds like Gronk, Suh, and Fournette. Not sure if there’s anyone names I missed who haven’t already reportedly re-signed but I’d imagine it would be the likes of them, and not Cappa changing his mind.

I suspect Brady's unretirement is the reason the Bengals raced to the podium Monday to announce their deal with Kappa.

The longer this news is out there the more painful (in theory) it should be for Kappa to change his mind.

Was I off my meds thinking we'd have official announcements shortly after 4 for Cappa, Karras, and Hill? Clark Harris, too.
