July 15, 2008 Ken Hamlin has agreed to a six-year, $39 million contract with the Cowboys, according to ESPN. He received $15 million in guaranteed money and a $9 million signing bonus. Our View:He was worthy of the raise, but is not a solid performer in IDP leagues, as he only made 62 tackles (45 solo) in 2007. |
|
July 14, 2008 The Cowboys and safety Ken Hamlin are getting close to an agreement on a long-term contract, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. Hamlin was given the franchise tag this offseason, and the two sides have until 4:00 pm EST on Tuesday to reach an agreement. Our View:The Cowboys took a shot with Hamlin last year, and he turned into a Pro Bowl performer. He doesn't have much IDP value, but his signing would be excellent for the Cowboys defense. |

July 5, 2008 Ken Hamlin's contract negotiations with the Cowboys continue to be on-going, according to the Dallas Morning News. Our View:Dallas wants Hamlin to remain with the club long-term, and they placed the franchise tag on him in hopes of working out a deal. A deal must be worked out by mid-July, or Hamlin will have to play under the terms of the one year franchise option. |

June 18, 2008 Safety Ken Hamlin did not attend minicamp practice on Tuesday and has yet to sign his franchise tag. He is hoping for a long-term deal. "He is not behind mentally," head coach Wade Phillips informs the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Hamlin has been calling defensive coordinator Brian Stewart and his teammates for updates. Our View:Given that he's calling and asking for updates, Hamlin doesn't sound like a guy who is likely to skip training camp or is eager to leave Dallas after this year. His IDP value is safe despite this missed time. |
|
June 5, 2008 The Cowboys "want to and expect to" sign Ken Hamlin to a contract extension before training camp, according to the Star-Telegram. Our View:There is no indication, however, if the team will complete a deal with Hamlin before the start of the veteran minicamp next week. He is working out on his own away from the team, and is looking for a long-term deal. |

April 3, 2008 Ken Hamlin will not take part in the Dallas Cowboys off-season conditioning program, which started earlier this week, according to the Dallas Morning News. Hamlin's agent, Kennard McGuire, spoke with the Dallas front office on Tuesday, but the sides are not close to an agreement on a long-term deal. By league rule, the Cowboys have until July 15 to reach a multiyear agreement with Hamlin, or he has to play for the one-year franchise tag offer of $4.396 million. And he would not be eligible to sign an extension until after the 2008 season. |

April 2, 2008 The Dallas Cowboys and Ken Hamlin are currently negotiating a long-term deal, according to the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram. Hamlin's agent, Kennard McGuire, met with Cowboys officials Tuesday during the lunch break at the NFL owners meetings. McGuire said that both sides are seeking the same thing - to keep Hamlin in Dallas for the long term. "It's mutual," McGuire said. "We both want to make sure we give him the security that he not only deserves, but that the Cowboys get the player that helps them stabilize what they're doing." After four seasons in Seattle, Hamlin signed a one-year, $2.5 million deal with Dallas prior to the 2007 season. He compiled 62 tackles and five interceptions, which resulted in a Pro Bowl appearance. |

February 21, 2008 Ken Hamlin was tagged the Cowboys franchise player on Thursday according to a report on NFL.com. Hamlin will make $4.396 million on a 1-year deal in 2008. The team will also release OT Flozell Adams. Hamlin made his first Pro Bowl in 2007 and he teams with Roy Williams to provide solid coverage at the safety department as both players compliment one another. |

February 21, 2008 Kennard McGuire, agent for unrestricted free agent FS Ken Hamlin, said he plans to meet with Dallas this week at the scouting combined to try and hammer out a long-term contract, according to the Dallas Morning News. Hamlin has much leverage in these negotiations partly because of the coverage deficiencies of SS Roy Williams. He will also be a popular target for several teams if he makes it to the open market. Hamlin, who signed a one-year deal last season, finished second on the team with five interceptions in 2007. |
|
February 14, 2008 Ken Hamlin will likely remain in Dallas either by the franchise tag or a long-term deal, according to the Dallas Morning News. Hamlin, who intercepted five passes last season, isn’t likely to give Dallas a hometown discount after playing under a cheap one-year contract in 2007. If the Cowboys fail to franchise tag or sign him to a long-term deal, then the Miami Dolphins are expected to get involved, as Hamlin reportedly has an outstanding relationship with Todd Bowles, who is the Dolphins new assistant head coach. |
