    I agree it doesn't sound like backup money. I think the best case is they sign another vet in FA, draft a rookie in the middle rounds and that guy hits immediately in camp and bashes Rapp out of the way and back to the bench where he belongs.
  2. GunnerBill
    He sucks in coverage. Like really sucks. And while he is a hard hitter I don't love his tackling technique either. I hope he does not start. If he does we have a problem.
  3. GunnerBill
    I disagree. He is a middling backup. He is certainly better than Kyle Allen. He has some familiarity with the team and the people. I hope they haven't committed big dollars to him and I would still try and draft a guy day 3. But Mitch as primary backup in 2024 is about as good an option as realistically was out there for them.
  4. GunnerBill
    He also went into a season with Jaquan Johnson and Damar Hamlin as his only backups. He isn't unfallable.

    I am not sure where the improvement you saw was because it didn't show up to me on tape. Even compared to 33 years olds Hyde and Poyer he was comfortably worse.
  6. GunnerBill
    Peak Keenum I agree. The version we got was past his best Keenum and worse than Mitch. Minschew I agree is better but he will get a considerably better deal as a result. Wentz royally sucks. He is worse than Mitch and indeed WAS out of the league much of last season. Tyrod isn't coming back here.

    I don't mind it if it is a "he gives us a baseline going into FA and draft" but man.... if he is to start???? Big downgrade even on 2023 version of Jordan Poyer.
  8. GunnerBill
    If Rapp is a starter we are in trouble.
  9. GunnerBill
    It is. But I still have zero expectations for him. I respect him for making this move. I still think he is totally washed as a player.
  10. GunnerBill
    He played a year of center in college and his first Cowboys starts were at center too. He has played more guard but he has center experience.
  11. GunnerBill
    That is correct.
  12. GunnerBill
    We kinda do and we don't. If he earns it all back his cap hit next year will look eye watering.
  13. GunnerBill
    As reported it is a genuine pay cut. He is leaving what was previously guaranteed money on the table (albeit with a chance to earn some back).
  14. GunnerBill
    If that is as reported it is a proper pay cut. What I mean by that is it isn't a restructure and it isn't swapping non-guaranteed money for a smaller amount of guaranteed money. Von's $17.5m salary this year was FULLY guaranteed. He is taking a near $9m pay cut (who knows what the incentives are). That is significant.

    Yea I just said that in the Edwards thread. I gotta think one of our first four picks is gonna be on a lineman now!
  16. GunnerBill
    Yea as of right now I imagine McGovern is our starting center and Edwards is starting left guard. Anderson will get a chance to compete as will any draft pick they make.
  17. GunnerBill
    This one was easy.
  18. GunnerBill
    Yea that may well have been the position. But if they were playing hard ball then at that point he was not a lock. I should say I like the restructure idea better than the extension idea with Douglas. Although it does mean this time next year we will likely be in the cornerback market early in the draft unless Elam suddenly turns it around.
  19. GunnerBill
    You mean 2nd team all pro Taron Johnson??? Really?
  20. GunnerBill
    I don't rate Haack. Bringing him back when Martin might have missed a playoff game made some sense. Less than a week to prep, familiarity with Bass etc. But bringing him back to be your main punter... yea not a fan.
  21. GunnerBill
    What was quite a stretch? That it wasn't a lock he was back? Do you know that it was? He is back. I was clear that was still a possibility. What the presser did was raise the possibility he might not have been.
  22. GunnerBill
    Void year.
  23. GunnerBill
    Cutting Morse isn't a surprise. It was something I advocated for. But I'd have kept Bates as part of that. To be without both does surprise me.
  24. GunnerBill
    I'd still rather that is what they did. They have gone a different direction. I get it. Not the decision I'd have made.
  25. GunnerBill
    Yes.
