Cowpukes sign L Davis, overpaying continues

Unlike last time Schefter is the source for the contract, PFT is simply regurgitating it.

DAVIS GETS BIG MONEY

Adam Schefter of the NFL Network reports that the Cowboys have given offensive lineman Leonard Davis a seven-year, $49.6 million contract, with $18.75 million in guaranteed money and $24 million paid out over the first three years of the contract.

The contract bests by $100,000 the deal signed on Friday by Eric "the Skipper" Steinbach in Cleveland.

The payout in guaranteed money falls far short of the $23 million that we heard Davis wanted But it's a great contract for a guy who has gotten no all-expenses-paid working vacations to Hawaii in six NFL seasons.

And Davis brings to four the total of lineman who got huge money in the past three days based apparently on potential.

None of them -- Davis, Steinbach, Kris Dielman, or Derrick Dockery -- have ever been to the Pro Bowl.

lol, it is funny.

Dockery signs for 49 million, Steinbach signs for 49.5 million, now Davis signs for 49.6 million. Dielman gave a hometown discount.

with those kind of paydays, everyone of those lineman should make serious pushes for the ProBowl or at least build some super buffets in each of their towns.

I hear the buffethouses in the Dallas area are enstating a moratorium on "all-you-can-eat" dining
