is this a good or bad signing for dallas.

Good for Jalen. I bet that contract actually is like $20-25 million and he outplays it.

Good for JT. He wasn’t as impactful the last couple years as I thought he would be but he was a beast before that. I wish him well.

Here's what The Athletic's Daniel Popper had to say about this signing:

S Jalen Thompson joins Cowboys
Top 150 ranking: 50
Reported deal: 3 years, $33 million
Grade: B

The Cowboys brought in a new defensive coordinator in Christian Parker, who worked under Vic Fangio for the past two seasons with the Eagles. Parker also got his first NFL position coach job under Fangio with the Broncos in 2021. Rangy safeties with good eyes can thrive in Fangio-style schemes, and Thompson fits that mold. Thompson had eight interceptions from 2021-23. His ball production waned over the last two seasons. But Thompson, who had spent his entire seven-year career with the Arizona Cardinals, should solidify the deep part of the field for Dallas, and he has some man coverage ability to match up with running backs, tight ends and receivers. — Popper

Godspeed 34. Be great.

Caleb Downs incoming.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

I am not saying that drafting Downs is what I would do but Monti loves drafting DBs and I doubt Budda is making 20 million next year for this team.

Hot take, would have kept JT over Budda bc of his age. I have always felt JT is one of the most under appreciated players we have. Plus Budda was basically non existent as a player last year but still some how make the pro bowl lol

But yeah, Rabbit looked good as a rookie, last year? Not so much.

Sure, but Baker is still under contract while Thompson would've had to be re-signed.

I don't think this is a hot take - Budda is overpaid and overhyped.
