Hoooly shiiit. How many of their moves were based on that trade?

Jerry on line 1: "I got a 2nd rounder and Sam Williams"

Probably not as many as you might think, but I would be stunned if it wasn't at least a part of the calculus.

Th Raiders can't keep Crosby and sign the players they've already agreed to terms with. They'll have to shop him on the cheap.

I guess we could give up our 5th round compensatory pick for a failed physical Crosby

Exactly and the price may have been cut in half. Maybe more..

Correct me if I'm wrong, but free agents are only agreeing to terms right now and the actual signing period doesn't start until tomorrow. Is that right?

If so, doesn't that mean that the Raiders can (maybe will have to) pull back some offers and not sign some of their new guys.

Sam Howell. So much for the Milton experiment

28 per for an aging often injured player. Don't mind that we passed on that…

Sam's gonna turn out to be the big fa spend that Jerry was hyping.

Yeah, but if I was them, I'm happier with this and keeping my two 1st round picks.

I was pretty close on my estimate that Hendricks was wanting a deal over 100 mil.

The years and average don't matter... how much is fully guaranteed? That's the only thing that matters to him and his agent (this being his last real deal).

My guess is that from day 1 they wanted at least 50 or 60 million guaranteed.

60 guaranteed for TH. If you are "all in" and "bust the budget" then you do this to try and win in the 1-3 year window.

Just looked it up... According to reports, it's 60 fully guaranteed.

Friggin nailed it! I bet I was close on my initial thought they they were asking for 3 year at 35 mil which was reported to be 10 mil more than teams wanted to pay.

Ravens got the per year down by making it 4 years, but Hendricks still gets his 50+ guarantee.

My worry is that Jerry takes Love at #12. He loves the offensive splash - Zeke, CD…
Woods Ag

I hear you. For once, I'm ok with it. I would trust the cowboys leaning on the run game with someone like Love way more than I do when they air it out.

If Love can come charging right out of the gates like Zeke did he will be worth it. A top flight running game can do wonders for a struggling defense.

Me personally, I don't want him over Styles or Downs, but if they are gone then I will take Love no problem. Micah wasn't our top target either, but sometimes the draft leaves you no choice and sometimes you are better for it!

I feel that's why we've been beefing up the defense before the draft. Jerruh wants Love.

I'll give the Cowboys credit here... what Hendrick's got from the Ravens was much less than what they were asking for a few days ago.

If the Cowboys had farted around with Hendrick's and their original demands, they would have missed out on everyone else. Instead, they moved on and signed other guys (like every other team did).

This craziness with Crosby is the only reason Hendrick's even got a deal done. Hendrick's was well on his way to another 1 year deal until the Ravens suddenly had a hole to fill and money to spend.

See if the raiders are desperate enough to move maxx for a 2nd and 3rd now

I'm sorta reading between the lines based on what I'm halfway listening to at work this morning.

Crosby and Hendrick's both have legit injury questions/concerns. The Cowboys current mindset is they are NOT messing around with injury dudes. I've heard McCoy is not even on their draft board for this reason.

Of course they considered Crosby and Hendrick's, but once the asking price was put out there they quickly moved on. They were not going to get into a bidding war for guys that might not be 100%.

Cowboys have a 3 year window to win now. They can't afford drafting a dude to redshirt and heal up like they've done 100x. They need plug and play.

vet and depth signing. I don't hate our DL/OLB room but we need a baller that you look at and OC has to game plan to stop. Need ILB help and speed off the edge.

Yup, my concern is Jerry passing on elite defensive players like Downs to take Love. Dallas already has an outstanding 1200 yd. RB they just resigned.
Vessel
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I'd imagine if Love has fallen that far it's because the elite defensive players were taken instead.

But it would hard to be mad at taking Love there. He's one of the best 2-3 players in the draft and he would make our offense the best skill group in the league.

take the best available player at 12. don't draft for need.

Pretty crazy they got a third AND the 49ers take on his entire salary.

Man, we seriously needed that 3rd rounder! There are so many good prospects at need positions on Day 2.

I hate to lose Osa, the guy has been a pretty good player for us since year 1. But as soon as the new defensive alignment was announced, there was a lot of grumbling that Osa really didn't fit here anymore.

Good move for everyone!
