I doubt he comes here. Vinny Dias on Twitter (who has broke and been correct on many FA signings) said that he will likely got to Dallas. Like someone said on here, all that crap about great defenses and winning goes out the window for money.

My only real concern with Mathieu is durability. We certainly have guys we COULD restructure but I'm not sure that we have guys that we SHOULD restructure. Cam and Luke would probably be the best options for a restructure.

Cam is my favorite to be restructured. Luke is one head injury away from calling it a career so it would be stupid to get tied up to his contract. Cam is going to get paid anyways. I say we go all in this year and send Pep and TD out with a ring.

Does Dallas have the cap for it?

We either back load his contract and sell him on the chance of winning a ring with a pay hike in his second year or we restructure Cam, pay Tyrann today and get Cam more money in the last years of his contract. Either way, someone has to take a pay cut this year 

I looked and Kawann, Cam, and Luke are the options. We have an estimated 55m for 2019 so backloading them and Tyrann is an option.  It would be worth it for a legit shot at a ring...

Well, it's not like the Cowboys are the Cleveland Browns. They're pretty decent and should have every expectation of fielding winning teams.

Meanwhile, if Mathieu signs in Dallas, Earl Thomas gonna be like

to annoy people, sinking to this level is probably a good reason to take a step back, look in the mirror and ask yourself what the hell you're doing.

If yall would stop feeding the trolls they would go away.  You are the ones that keep them fed, warm, happy, and HERE.

If Luke decided to retire due to injury concerns I'm sure he and the Panthers would come to terms on an injury settlement anyway.

I don't want to touch Short's contract in terms of a restructure. We'd be pushing guaranteed money down the road until he was 33 years old. That seems too risky to me.

Panthers a winning culture? No way. All the crap going on with the FO could deter him as well.

With Keeks concussion history I don't think it would be a wise move to kick his salary any further down the road .  We could easily wind up paying a huge cap hit for years on a guy who no longer plays for us.  IMO if we cant afford a guy then find one you can.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
