Haters mad AF rn
You're seriously trying to make fun of the Cowboys for not overpaying an overrated running back who's a product of the O-line? RB is the most replaceable position in the league for a reason.
It's, at most, a 6 game suspension. It's not like he's going to be suspended for 12 games or season long suspension. That gives him 10 games to make an impact. I agree that Murray is a better back than McFadden, and I think the Cowboys will address the RB area via the draft. There are plenty of good backs in this draft. While others are on the Peterson bandwagon, I'm not sold on the Cowboys being players in acquiring his services.
You can argue WR is just as replaceable. Also, Murray led the league in yards after contact so it wasn't all the line. Every good or great RB has a good or great line at some point. Doesn't take anything away from the RB. A RB who can pick up blitzes, break tackles, and catch out the backfield isn't really overrated. However, thats fine. It's the Cowboys saying how DeMarco is always hurt yet willing to pay Peterson big money being that he is older, and has 1100 more carries.

I agree with this from Blogging the Boys:
http://www.bloggingtheboys.com/2015/...lain-efe-obadaWhile the Cowboys have now answered all the immediate salary cap questions, one thing that the Romo restructure does not mean is that Dallas is looking to figure out a way to acquire Adrian Peterson. While the thought of a healthy and productive AD operating behind the Dallas offensive line is intoxicating, it is also extremely unrealistic. The costs are simply prohibitive. Even if you disregard the repeated assertions from the Minnesota Vikings that they have no intention of parting ways with Peterson, despite his apparent discontent, the team would almost certainly not simply cut him if they did give up on having him play. They would demand draft picks, which is not something that the current brain trust in Dallas would seem likely to go for. And Peterson has shown absolutely no willingness to take a lower deal than the $43 million that he is now scheduled to earn over the next three seasons. With the way Dallas has handled things financially so far, it is hard to imagine them committing those kinds of resources for a running back, not matter how superb he has been in the past. And despite his remarkable durability, Peterson is 30. Even he is going to lose a step at some point, and it would be a stupid bet that he would not do so on that kind of a contract.
i would agree but dudes 30
like I said, AP is a rare talent and has fresher legs than any back from sitting out a year.
Romo is old, witten is old and we are in win now mode. We get AP and the superbowl is ours to lose
Ftr, I know we won't get AP
I hope we do. Randle ain't gonna cut it.
I said in an earlier post that the only way I foresee the Cowboys signing Peterson is if he comes dirt cheap. I just don't see how/who they would trade to get him, and the Vikes have said they aren't going to cut him.
Why would we want to let one high priced RB go to sign another? Runners aren't worth big bucks anymore, sign em to 5 year deals as rookies and move on to the next after IMO. That 13 million is for draft picks and unsigned FA's.we got hardy, mcclain, mcfadden with the money we saved from NOT signing murry. after the restructure, we have thirteen million to play with and sign AP with. executive of the year doing big thangs
I'm lukewarm on AD. He's a beast, but like others have pointed out, he's 30, and we can spend the $13M on filling holes (especially on defense).
McFadden with a rookie (hopefully Gordon or Gurley) will be able to get it done, cheaply. We also need more rushmen, CB, and S (to hopefully start at FS, move Church to the bench, and Wilcox to SS).
There are many moves we need to make, Peterson is not necessarily one of them.
Good thing we don't have to pay Hardy for games he's suspended.
Bloggingtheboys recently had an article about how Jerry needs to add Darren Woodson to the Ring of Honor. I agree. I think it's time to add some names in there. Who else deserves to be in that's not in it yet?
Adios Spencer
Honestly getting a little worried about the Dez situation.. pretty good read over @ dallascowboys.com..
http://www.dallascowboys.com/news/20...2%80%99s-grown
Hopefully they can get him signed before the deadline.
If they can sign him before the deadline that will free up more money in cap space.
Almost draft time
