My T&R

When he vacationed in Orlando last summer, agent Kennard McGuire brokered a long-term deal with Detroit for its franchise player, Cory Redding. McGuire hopes the same can happen for another client this week, Cowboys' franchise player Ken Hamlin, although a deadline is approaching. The Cowboys and McGuire have until 3 p.m. Tuesday to reach an agreement on a long-term deal or else the Pro Bowl safety can only play for the one-year tender offer of $4.396 million. Since putting the franchise tag on Hamlin in March, the Cowboys were able to finalize multiyear deals for fellow Pro Bowlers Flozell Adams, Terence Newman, Terrell Owens and Marion Barber, among others. Even as they vacationed, Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones and McGuire kept negotiating on a multi-year deal last week, but the talks figure to take on more urgency. With more than $8 million in salary-cap room, money has not been the issue, however, the structure of the contract has because of changes in the collective bargaining agreement coming next year.

The word 'looms' makes this seem like a much bigger story than it is.

How is there a deadline when you know he's going to be on the team next year? Who says Jerry really wants him long-term?

Get it done so that T&R can start posting more rubbish stories about the stadium and Terrell Owens being spotted eating sushi on a Friday.

The thing that makes the Dallas Cowboys so special is " Either you love em" or "You love to hate em" Either way there is something we all love about them. Don't you love it !!!!

HIghly probable. 13 Pro Bowlers did them alot of good in the playoff game vs. the Super Bowl Champion Giants. The previous year it was snap botcher boy Romo'S fault. Who's fault is it going to be this year? Getcha popcorn ready! NOT! How do the Girls like their popcorn? Burnt...
