Around SBN: Jerry Jones discusses the Pacman Jones incident Bar-right-arrows



Dallas Cowboys, Ken Hamlin agree to a six year contract

From ESPN:

The Dallas Cowboys and Pro Bowl safety Ken Hamlin have agreed to a six-year, $39 million contract, ESPN's Ed Werder reports.

Hamlin, the Cowboys' franchise player, received $15 million in guaranteed money and a $9 million signing bonus.

Here is how the contract stands up to the other safety contracts given out this year.

Kerry Rhodes, NY Jets - five years, $33.5 million.

Gibril Wilson, Oakland - six years, $39 million, $16 million guaranteed.

Madieu Williams, Minnesota - six year, $33.75 million.

This is great. Somehow, Jerry and Stephen Jones have signed every player they needed to this offseason. Is Chris Canty next?

Glad to know

I wasn’t the only person checking this like every five minutes hoping it was going to get done.

I wonder what the Cowboys cap situation looks like now.

This is the problem with fanshots

is that news gets buried. I wanted to report this 15 minutes ago but I think the news got lost down on the fanshots section. Anyway, great news and the Jones boys are on a roll.

I moved your FanShot to the front page to give you some credit

But with news this big, make it a FanPost. FanShots are more for quotes, videos, reading material, just general stuff. FanPosts are for provocative, well-thought out opinions AND for breaking news that’s important. You already had about half the words needed for a FanPost, just add some more quick thoughts and post.

I know some people hate the 75-word limit on FanPosts but right now I can’t change it. So just come up with some quick thoughts when you need to, it’s actually pretty easy.

this is great

the cowboys seem to wait until the last minuted to get things done (kinda like me) but they get them done. awesome!

Great signing

Hamlin is better than Wilson IMO, so getting him for the same price is a great move. Minnesota got a decent deal on Williams after all – who knew?

Come on Canty!

Not a surprise to me this would get done

Great signing though, I had no doubts Hamlin would resign in Dallas. Hamlin wanted to be in dallas and Dallas wanted Hamlin in Dallas. Finally a Quarterback signed to lead and take charge in the secondary.

Time to concentrate on getting the draft picks signed, then Canty, who I also will be signed to a long term deal by week one or shortly after.

The Hammer

Really great to have him in Dallas for the long haul. He is such an intense and instinctive player.

There’s a cool tribute to him and Roy Williams on YouTube. Man, they sure can hit!

Check it out:

That #38 sure can hit!

Salary Cap

Isn’t the cap going away in the next 2 year? Could we sign Roy Williams (Lions WR) next year and get Canty and Ware to re-signed.
