I hope our FO is trying to answer it. I'd tend to think/hope he'd be more antsy than confident, last year he was signed by the Colts on April 13th... it's already April 23rd, and this year really not many teams have invited him to a visit (us, Jets, he had a visit scheduled with the Lions but they signed Sylvester Williams just before... nobody else that I could find something about). So really it's the Jets and us for now, I wouldn't be very confident if I were him. Now maybe his agent sees something that we don't but...

Re: Around the NFL: Free agent signings 2018
I think teams are locked into draft mode at this point, Hankins and Bryant will have to wait

And for Hankins, he's had visits with the Skins, Jets, and Lions. After the Lions got Sylvester Williams I'm not even sure they're still in the Hankins market. What if they all get a DT? If you're Hankins do you call the Skins or Jets up now and say listen I'll take your one year $4M offer, or whatever they had on the table? Or do you wait, knowing it could mean somebody pays you a ton after the draft, or that you might have to take one year for $2M? Not an easy call. If you're Hankins's agent you can't afford to let teams sit in draft mode if you think you need to make your move now.

I think he would be extremely lucky to get anything close to 8M per year between post draft and the start of preseason. But I do think if he accepted 5-6M for a one year deal that would get him signed. |

If that's the case maybe he calls us back before the draft...

Ive pretty much let it be known Hankins is a good signing at 1 to 3 year deal. He's a young, proven, run-stuffer entering his prime...Id take him over Vea or Payne at 13 without hesitation. Is it smart by Hankins team to wait out after the draft? Shrinking options is never better for bargaining...He's taking on more risk for a smaller payday. |

He would take safeties Derwin James and Minkah Fitzpatrick before them, he loves both DBs and is astonished by James' athleticism, he says he's a Pro Bowler every year: http://cdn.stationcaster.com/station...1524233573.mp3 http://cdn.stationcaster.com/station...1524492552.mp3 Again, signing Hankins would allow us to go BPA (and trade down without worrying about missing on a critically needed DL...).

Re: Around the NFL: Free agent signings 2018
I tend to agree with you guys. Seems to me his incentive is to get something done before Thursday. He definitely seemed to overplay his hand.

Cowboys Players in Offseason form again
Dallas Cowboys: David Irving social media activity not good | Fort Worth Star-Telegram Troubling morning from David Irving's social media account One of the best defensive players for the Dallas Cowboys had some interesting, and potentially troubling, developments on social media on Monday morning. So troubling that the Cowboys defensive lineman is being investigated for potential domestic violence, per the Frisco Police Department |

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports free agent Dez Bryant is expected to wait until after this week's draft to sign with a team. There's been little known interest in Bryant since his release from the Cowboys nearly two weeks ago. He's yet to make a visit, and there have been no concrete teams absolutely known to be involved in courting the 29-year-old. He's going to find it real tough to come close to the $12.5 million he was scheduled to earn in 2018 on his Dallas deal. We'll continue to wait. |
