gftChris Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 I saw this. We can only hope he signs with someone and reduces the cap hit we got for cutting him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cambridgeho Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Lets just hope, we never get to play against Weeden. He may kill us. Haha, just kidding, I wish we played him everyweek. underhand tosses and missing his 5 yrd outs by a mile. I am so damn glad he is gone from here.

next2nothing Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Cowboy fans better be prepared for complete suckage because that team has imploded. Gonna be even funnier in a couple years when all the BS moves they've done regarding their cap $ catches up to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaak Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 won't drop our cap hit if Weeden chooses to use his once per career option to get paid in full by the Browns while still getting paid by the Cowboys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoBrowns! Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Nice, so how big or little of hit do we take from Brandon Weeden now that he has signed with Dallas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAFBF Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 It would not surprise me to see Weeden become a fair backup. He's not going to win a lot of games for you, but I think if you put him in a low pressure situation he could be passable. I actually wanted us to hold onto him as our 3rd stringer - he's going into his third year, just maybe he could hold a lead for us if the need arose. Well, we've Hoyer, Tanney, and whoever else they pick up in the next few weeks - we're moving forward and I can't say I've seen a whole lot the new FO has fumbled on yet.

LBC mike Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Orton was the starter for Chicago for a bit. Weeden signed a two year contract. does that give us money back to our CAP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambert_58 Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Yea Orton's way better. Orton's almost starter worthy. According to Eric Edholm (not certain if that is a reliable source): "Before you scoff at reports that 30-year-old Brandon Weeden has signed a contract with the Dallas Cowboys – two easy targets in one if there ever was one – consider this haunting possibility: If the Cowboys can part ways with DeMarcus Ware for a bloated contract this offseason, what's to stop them from doing the same next year with Tony Romo and his projected salary-cap number of $27.7 million? That could mean Weeden is your favorite — as of now — to be the Cowboys' Week 1 starter, circa September 2015. Current Cowboys backup Kyle Orton reportedly has wavered on his decision to come back next season, so that puts Weeden in play to be Romo's backup this season and at least in consideration to start if he does well and Romo is gone. Think about that a minute."

Lambert_58 Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Ask Eric Edholm, I just copy/pasted Likely because not too many people thought anyone would sign him, at least that would be my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Saw this earlier and immediately called my son-in-law (a Cowboy fan).

JAFBF Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 We get nothing back against the cap because Holmgren's crew fucked up the contract. Thanks again, Fatty Arbuckle. Zombo That was the initial word, but Grossi just corrected that here : But because Weeden’s contract with the Browns did contain “offset” language -- ESPN Cleveland has confirmed -- he will not enjoy the “double dip” of collecting full salary amounts from the Cowboys and Browns, if he makes the Cowboys’ final roster. The issue of “offset language” is a major sticking point in contracts for players taken in the first round. The insistence on offset language by former GM Tom Heckert means that the Browns' guaranteed money owed Weeden will be offset by the salaries paid by the Cowboys. . . .
