Cowboys News And Notes: Routt En Route, Visions Of A Super Bowl Do Over And More

they not only consistently lead the league in penalties but also personal fouls, suggesting that its more than just players who dont know how to play that maybe its the coaches setting them up for that and lack of discipline/control

but his last year with RR he had only 5(?) penalties the entire season

5 mil a year seems like a bargin. 7 mil a year seems reasonable. 9 mil a year is probably on the high end but a backloaded deal would be tolerable

We’ll have links to ancient Persian Art, quotes from 12th century philosophers, and my Acme decoder needs new batteries.

This could be a combination of many things
1. I was thinking in my head that I was wrong the whole time I was writing it
2. I was thinking how wrong it would be to actually sign him
3. It was 5:22am and I was barely awake

I’m going to go with 3. But I will correct myself, I meant long run. But I don’t blame a front page writer for catching it and pointing it out, considering they’re on grammar watch with every story they write.

… holding significant investments longterm when their value’s decreasing. C’mon, ya knew man (<—-).

Then again, there’re far more serious long wrongs.

with these new rules protecting the offense its no shock why they rack up so many penalties

My best bud lives down there and they basically treat snow like it never happens and to just let it melt. Its not like the north east at all.

The potential safety of the seats and the lack of preparation which resulted in people missing out is a huge problem. They had a year and one main goal, to be able hold all the people and failed.

Snow/ice storms are random in north Texas. The metroplex has no reason to spend public tax money on snow removal equipment.

But snow is common in NY/NJ. I am rooting for a major super bowl sunday snow storm in NY/NJ harder than ya’ll were rooting for the meteor this year. I will LMAO when the SB is delayed for hours or even suspended because they need to shovel 2 feet of snow out of the seats in Meadowlands stadium and the roads.

i’d still take what the draft gives me but it’d allow Dallas to pass on the 2 pot heads projected at 14

That IS true. The two corners being mocked to us in the 1st are stoners. I just don’t want to have to win a bidding war for Routt. Give him the money we save on cutting Newman. I’m cool with that. That’s what, 5 to 6 mil per. It still leaves us able to sign some solid football players in FA. But if Routt wants another 50 million dollar contract like Oakland gave him last year, I’ll pass.

puff, puff …pass?

That they cut him to get out of the 10 million he was due. They only saved 5 million in cutting him because of his accelerated salary.

From National Football Post:
“Routt received $10 million in 2011 and was to earn an additional $5 million Friday were he on the Raiders roster. The Raiders released him Thursday to avoid that $5 million.

They cannot, however, avoid another $5 million. Routt has a $5 million guaranteed option bonus due in March. It was structured as a "second signing bonus" so the Raiders did not have to fund the payment in 2011, as per NFL rules. This structure is very similar to first-round rookie deals in the prior CBA, with large second-year option bonuses that shielded large sums from the Rookie Cap.

Here’s a kicker — that $5 million to Routt in March is not offset against future money from another team. Thus, in 2012, Routt will receive $5 million from the Raiders plus any new contract money from where he signs next."

(Hope I quoted that right)
