Earl being cryptic?

Imma do me til' it's over, til it's over......but it's far from over

Earl is an emotional dude. Pete has said this many times.

When he broke his leg and tweeted about retirement, Pete laughed (literally) and said that's just Earl being Earl.

Earl has done absolutely nothing to negatively effect this team. He is a cornerstone of the franchise. Anything outside of a mid to mid-early 1st would be absolutely a lost deal for the franchise. I don't want them to trade him, but if they do, it's not going to be for a mid 2nd or later.

nah, he's just showing how supremely horrible his choice in R&B "singers" is.

Always get a kick out of "let's trade this guy, who is incredible, so we don't have to pay them and gamble on an unproven pick" talk.
Logic....forsaken.

Always love the "hey lets keep the guy regardless of the cost" mantra even though he will likely walk next year with only a comp pick compensation.

Genius!

Me too :irishdrinkers:

If he holds out next year. That number means nothing

Quite a few, cause Earl's missed seven games in the past two years.

This is not about talent, it's about being in the middle of a rebuild, desperately needing picks and not wanting to give Earl the monster 4-5 year Eric Berry-esque extension he wants.

So if you're one of the people that want to give Earl the huge extension he wants, then please tell us how we're going to fix just about every other position group on the team other than QB with barely any picks the next two years, and very little cap space.

I think if we trade Earl, we need 2 picks in return with a 2nd rounder being one of them.

Rumor is we want a 1st, or a 2nd and 3rd.

Either would be acceptable to me, and now that the Cowboys cut Dez, they should have enough cap to sign and extend Earl.

I don't want to lose Earl, he's one of my all time favorite Hawks. But if we're at an impasse with an extension, then I'd rather trade him, get picks and not have to deal with a holdout and this contract fight dragging into next year.

+1, my favorite player on the team, and one of my all time favorites. But......if they can't get something done, they need to get something for him. Would love to see them get a 1 back, but it doesn't seem likely at this point. A 2 and a 3, they would need to seriously consider jumping on that. I wonder if they would take a 2 and a 4. Maybe not what they want, but it could be the best offer they see and/or the only one close to that.

I'm still hoping the Browns get involved in the ET happenings.

Vin, I love ya, but you're a long ways off on this one. We had the #1 defense in the NFL for how long? How much did we lean on our FS to be able to accomplish this? What happened when he wasn't available? I'll agree that he doesn't have the interception gene the way others like Reed had it, but it hardly diminishes his impact. BTW, Reed is on the short list of all-time greats at the position. As great as Earl is, I wouldn't put him in that class.

I have been praying to the football God for the Browns to step up.

No way Earl goes along with this one.

I'm sure it's not JUST Dallas that he'd agree to a long term extension, but guarantee you Cleveland isn't on his short list.

And I know we don't need Earl's permission to trade him with one year left on his deal. But if you want to maximize the picks we're getting back, it has to be a team he's going to come to an agreement with on a new extension.

No extension? We'd be lucky to get a 4th or 5th rounder if it's a team he's just going to leave after next year.

If the $ is right, players will go most places. Funny how they quickly get over that when those dollar signs roll in.

Of course, but the only reason people keep bringing up Cleveland is because they have high first rounders. There's literally been no buzz about Cleveland...........and IMO they'd have to offer Earl crazy stupid money for him to sign there. He knows that means losing with zero chance of another ring, instead of going to his beloved Cowboys and possibly playing for that ring.

No doubt, extremely unlikely, but they certainly have the cap and picks for it.

Only ring Earl will be playing for in Dallas is possibly asking his buddy Jason to marry him.

Trade him now. The team has already been burned with the previous 3 big money third contracts they gave to Lynch, Kam, and Bennett. It’s bad business. Get something for him while you can and rebuild the D.

I’m 95% certain he’s gone.
