ganesh Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Knew somebody would throw sick money at him. And Mike Gandy is in Arizona today to replace Davis on the roster as per KFFL.
bills_red Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2787446 The Dallas Cowboys are finalizing an agreement with free agent offensive lineman Leonard Davis, the second pick in the 2001 NFL draft who has played the last six seasons for the Arizona Cardinals, a source with knowledge of the negotiations told ESPN.com. Davis, 6-feet-6, 366 pounds, is expected to play either right tackle or right guard for the Cowboys, depending on the resolution of contract talks with current Cowboys right tackle Marc Columbo, an unrestricted free agent the Cowboys hope to re-sign. Davis' contract is expected to exceed the free agent deals of Bills guard Derrick Dockery (7 years, $49 million) and Browns guard Eric Steinbach (7 years, $49.5 million). Davis visted the Washington Redskins and was considering a visit to the New York Giants, but decided on the Cowboys due to a desire to stay close to his hometown of Wortham, Texas, just south of Dallas. Davis was an All-America tackle at the University of Texas, and played his first three seasons at guard for the Cardinals before switching to tackle the last three seasons. Senior writer Michael Smith covers the NFL for ESPN.com. Over Dock and Steinbach deals????? Wow, they overpaid a lot.
Kelly the Dog Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 John Clayton said that Davis asked Jerry Jones for a huge bonus, and when Jones bawked, Davis took Daniel Snyder's private plane to Washington and started negotiating with the Skins. Jones then caved and signed him to the huge deal. If that's true, that was a great move by Davis and his agent to use Jones and Snyder against each other. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/stor...&id=2787051
