Snot in San Antone,
Looks like the contract was structured very wisely.
And Rat's performance last week made you look silly. Now put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Great deal for Dallas. Say what you about the Jones' boys, but when it comes down to $$, they know their stuff!

No kidding, what a cap friendly contract.
Unless my math is off, with prorating his 8 mill up front over the length of the contract, that means almost 60% of his money will not hit the cap
until the last 2-years of his contract.
Stephen has become an expert at cap management.

crHap,
Glad we got him signed, and he did have a good game Sunday. Still could have gotten him for less money. I've said all this a million times. But you're right, the Jones' NEVER overpay for players (i.e. Galloway, and Roy Williams).

SAS,
Galloway is 16th in receiving yds THIS year. It's not his fault we couldn't get the ball to him.
Roy's a 4X Pro Bowler. They both are and were worth their $.
Never say never, but the Jones are quite frugal with the $, and when a good/great playa comes along, they get theirs.
Give it up,dude. You are wrong on this one.
