Rookie 1st round pick signings

Gotta get TW done soon.

I was under the impression that Dez Bryant is actually a decent kid. Nowhere in the articles I've read about him indicated that he was egotistical, selfish, etc. etc.

Still though he's on the Cowboys so I'm obligated to wish him no success lol. Maybe he'll leave the Cowboys in 5 seasons and go have a successful career somewhere else.

I don't know if it's time to get anxious yet. Training camp is less than a week away and not only is Silverback not signed, there is absolutely zero news about anything -- whether he's going to hold out, or the two sides have agreed to terms in principle, etc. Absolutely nothing.

SS, you have any idea what the status of the negotiations are?

I mentioned it somewhere else, but both Allen and TW have said they are going to get the contract done. Allen also said that they had meetings scheduled this weekend and that the Skins were going to be fair. The bracket for TW really is set well based on last year's draft, (an OT drafted 2nd, and 6th, and what the actual 4th overall got). This just won't be a hard contract and I really expect to see him sign by Thursday. Wouldn't surprise me if we get a Sunday night text saying he has signed.

Hopefully becoming the second highest paid lineman on the team won't cause him to bail the day before training camp and declare he doesn't like the zone blocking scheme because it's not what he's suited for. You know with him being the 4th overall pick he's about to get seriously PAID.

Haha, I came back to this thread after drunk me posted. I stand by that statement, but take it down a few notches.

A little drunkeness goes a long way to spew Cowboy drivin venom!

LOL. That's kinda what I thought when I read the post, but I didn't want to call you out. Nothing like a drunkenly trashing an arch rival. Haha.

Suck it up Dez, and carry Roy's pads.

Dallas Cowboys rookie Dez Bryant says no to tradition, won't carry Roy Williams' shoulder pads - ESPN Dallas

So any news on any other 1st rounders signing? I'm sure TW will sign soon, but a lot of camps open today, and seems like it's still quiet on the signing front.

A lot of chatter in the area radio/internet saying Williams signed. Anyone hear anything?

I heard from a guy that works at ESPN that he apparently signed.

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

This is awesome news if so. He would be the first in the top 5 to do so.

Wow, that would be boss if he is signed, sealed, and delivered before training camp starts given that he is a high first round pick and the first high first round pick to sign.

Awesome news
