Cool....we need four good WR's on this team. QM is good as gone, maybe we can get a 5th or 6th for him...but then again why would anyone trade if he's going to be released anyways....

Ah crap.
I feel sorry for Crayton really, cuz he's the one that'll end up getting screwed in this.
IF so....then bye-bye Quincy Morgan.
Also, note to Cowboys owner and management...Please never ever draft, trade for or sign as a free agent anyone with the name Quincy.

Stephen with NORM:
- discussion about the Saints stadium situation
- bunch of Texas Stadium security talk
- Peerless price talk:
- talked with agent, talks will be ongoing
- what direction are talks going (thumbs up/down)? - no lean yet
- trying to understand/communicate peerless' expectations
- bledsoe and peerless had a good relationship and respect each other
- no money talks as of yet
- visiting with agent in a few hours
- no insight on number of teams interested in peerless, but there are others.

Injury contingency plans. What is the Cowboys cap space right now in case the Cowboys needed to find a replacement due to an injury?
Still in great shape. We have a very good cap situation so that we can bring in any player if the situation arises.
Do you handle negotiations with players?
Yes. Not all of them, but our bigger players and first round picks. We have other guys in the organization that handle more of the minimum contract players?
Are you in discussions with Peerless Price?
We have had talks with him, and we will have more upcoming.
Thumbs up or thumbs down on how those negotiations are going?
Hard to know. Its early in the process. He’s played with Bledose and had a great success with him, and that’s a great plus for us. They respect each other. As far as what his expectations are, that will have to unfold.
He was a success as a #2 WR in Buffalo and went to Atlanta to be #1 and failed. Is Price askng for significant money or a mid to lower range price?
We haven’t gone so far as to talk about dollars and cents. We just wanted to let him know that we had a sincere interest in him, and he had a sincere interest in us. We’ll talk again in a few hours, and I’m sure dollar amounts will be discussed then.
Have they mentioned how many teams are competing for his services?
An exact number wasn’t mentioned, but they said they have received interest from more than 1 team.
What would you do with a situation like Terrell Owens?
I have to commend Philly, they’ve handled it about as well as you can handle it. You expect a player 1 year into his contract he signed to live up to it. If you rework a contract after every year, I’ll have 40 guys knocking on my door wanting to rework their contract. It couldn’t have been handled any better.
Is management in the NFL quietly cheering for the Eagles?
I don’t ever cheer for the Eagles. *laughs* Yeah, I think everyone respects what they’re doing. Every decision you make effects other decisions. There are domino effects.
If Owens became available, would the Cowboys be interested in him?
Commenting on that could be perceived as tampering, but in general our goal around here is to get players that respect the game and are team players.

Crayton's play will make sure he gets good time. I like our wideouts, but 1 is very injury prone. This is all about depth with people who can start and be effective.
Rack Bauer
08-31-2005, 11:54 AM
It's not the competition I'm worried about. It's the fact that Bledsoe will likely "Feel more comfortable" with Price, and that will push Crayton down the depth chart a spot. Price is a waste of a roster spot. He refused to play special teams in Atlanta, why would he do it here (he'll be 3rd or 4th on the depth chart).
That said, if he becomes a cowboy I'll support him 100%. I just hope Bledsoe doesn't automatically favor Price cuz of their past success.

And that's the major stumbling block, isn't it?
Will he agree to ride pine, coming off a successful #2 stint in Buffalo and an unsuccessful #1 in Atlanta..at his age...at the #4 spot, on a team that will not feature many multi receiver sets?

I think having another receiver that Dallas can count on may allow Bill to use Crayton to return punts.
I think Price could be a good addition. He obviously is not a #1 and perhaps he is not #2, but he will not be asked to be that in Dallas. Key, Glenn and Witten are the primary receiving threats for hte Cowboys.
It is too bad that Morgan hasn't shown too much this pre-season. Copper either. Price if signed or Morgan/Copper if Price is not signed will all have to step up in the regular season. Somewhere down the line, they will be asked to make plays.
To me, I do like this signing. I just wonder how much he wants. I would do a 1 year deal if he wanted that to go out and prove himself. I wonder thought if this signing means that Bill and JJ are not very confident that Bledsoe has comfort with our 3 receivers as it is now. It doesn't seem like Keyshawn and Bledsoe have much chemistry right now.

And if Glenn gets hurt this season? Who is our deep threat? What if Price is better than Crayton? One of the weakest parts of this team is the wide receiver position...i say address it.

Well Rack, I'd prefer Warrick because he'd be a plus on specials.
Bledsoe must be lobbying bigtime for Price, bigtime, because he doesn't represent what Parcells has always maintained in a receiver that low on the chart....contributions on specials..a la Dedric Ward's hoped for but not realized contributions.
Aaron Glenn's presence tho, must be causing Bill some relief. Not only can he return punts in a pinch, but he claims he WANTS to. *what a guy
IF it happens, one thing we can be sure of is it WILL be interesting. :D
I don't want to see Patrick get shoved aside either, but I think he can inevitably outplay ANY receiver on this roster, and that includes a potential Price.
In one way, I am ALL for giving Bledsoe everything he says he needs to be sucessful. (or any QB for that matter)
Either he WILL get it done surrounded with what make him feel comfy, or he will have ZERO excuses when he fails.
jterrell
08-31-2005, 12:06 PM
If we can get Price at a reasonable cost I am all for it. He worked very well with Bledsoe before and gives this team some serious depth. He also seems to be in that perfect age group of veteran to Crayton but much younger than our elder statesmen, KJ and Terry.
He was worth a 1st rounder just 2 years ago but his stature has really fallen so maybe its doable.
InmanRoshi
08-31-2005, 12:06 PM
Price was Buffalo's primary punt returner in 2001, before he became too valuable as a WR to risk. Price also at least has a kickoff return to his credit. Warrick has never returned a kickoff in the NFL.

I think Price becomes an immediate #2 with Glenn being used as athe 3rd guy where he isn't asked to play every down. Crayton is already a good special teamer in the 4th slot and the 5th guy would be pure special teams, Crowder or Copper.
I doubt seriously Warrick would even be a consideration. Playing ST means nothing if you cant pkay at all. His little deal of practicing a few days a week and such wouldnt play well with BP. This kid is definitely NOT a BP guy with his past injury history and amount of games missed.
I read about the Peerless deal with his eyes and what not. Anyone wonder if he may have been trying to nab them for part of his salary on an injury settlement. 7.2 million in dead money for the Falcoms, ouch.

Generally Parcells would want that 4th receiver to be a special teams guy, not necessarily his 3rd.
Price will come here as a 3rd receiver.
And hopefully it would jump start our offense to have another familar face for Bledsoe.
If you surround Bledsoe with tools that he is familiar with, and has had success with, and you give him time to use those tools... it will work out.
You have the best quarterback in Parcells' coaching career.
The two best receivers in Parcells' coaching career.
The first and third best receiver in Bledsoe's career.
Potentially one of the most talented tight ends and running backs of Parcells' coaching career...
You just want that offensive line to gel. And I'm thinking with 3 pro bro bowlers, a solid center in either Gurode or Johnson we have potentially to be something here. I hope Petitti can step up and help us.
If its true that price is really interested in playing for dallas, he must already know he wont be the featured wr. So if he's not willing to be a role player, why would he even show interest in coming here, im sure he can figure that much out without even talking to cowboys management.

Maybe Parcells would have Price in Keyshawns position while Crayton is in Glenns position. And even moreso, Parcells won't let Price take time away from anyone until he earns the right in practice and such. I don't think it will set back Crayton. And playing the percentages Glenn or Keyshawn will miss some time this year.

BP loves to rotate guys and I dont wanna see Glenn out there every play blocking and then going over the middle taking big shots. Glenn is a consummate 3rd WR who plays on 3rd down and makes big plays IMHO.
I think we'd see alot more 3 WR sets and 1 back sets for sure now.
Price is a bigger guy who has also been to Pro Bowls. He's a 7th year guy who averaged about 70 catches a season int he 4 years from 2000-2003.
I'd imagine its fun talking about playing with Vick but for a WR it has to be frustraing to know the QB is really more dangerous with the ball in his hands then you are and every play becomes free lance.
Price is also a horrid fit in a WCO at 5'11" and 190 but blazing speed. We could really shut up whiners about offensive speed with Price added.

08-31-2005, 12:26 PM
I agree and if Price comes to Dallas I think we will see Dallas rotate WR in and out of the game much like the Pats do.
Which doesn't really alleviate the fact that Peerless may consider himself more than he currently is. For all we know is he blaming his problems of the past few years on Vick too, and still considers himself an unquestioned #1 or #2 - not a rotation guy. "Ego" and "WR" seem to be synonomous these days.
The bright side is I think Price has to know the situation here, and has to know that Bill is not going to just sit Key or Glenn because Price says so. The fact that he is still going into serious negotiations with us with that knowledge is a good sign IMO.
This will get done quickly, one way or the other.

If they do in fact sign Price you can mark Crayton down at #4. There is no way they sign Price at a #4 spot. If that was the case they wouldnt sign him. Im sure the interest in Price is to be our #3. Im not a huge fan of it because I like Crayton so much. I do love the insurance Price will give us tho.
So Im ok w/ it.

No one available in August is going to replace Glenn. But if Parcells is willing to split up the workload at RB, or rotate DTs to make Glover more effective, you can bet he'll find a way to use an extra WR. If it puts Crayton in a position to play on ST in order to get the requisite # plays for a WR on the opening day roster, that works for me.
TG's injury history aside, with our two best WRs in their 30s, it's not a bad thing to improve depth in this area where we can. And if Price is successful here, it also takes pressure of us in the early rounds of the draft or early FA next year.

Just a side note .. as someone who's heard Stephen many of times on Norm, when he's asked about the Cowboy's interest in a player and he adamently goes into detail, then its pretty safe to say that he's pretty much in the Cowboys crosshairs. Usually he shirks the question of potential free agents off with a "Im not at liberty to discuss" or "For competitive reasons, I dont want to get into specifics".
This could get done soon.

As long as it's yet another complementary #2 or borderline #3, it will go the way of Joey Galloway or Antonio Bryant..because like those two, Peerless Price lacks the agility, hands, route running and versatility of Terry Glenn. The stones too.
What I'd really like to see for my boy before it's all said and done is some real competition..I mean it, it'd be for the good of the Dallas Cowboys and I'd have no problem with it. In fact, by the time the other Drew is starting, it darn well better be here.
Sorry to say, you can switch out as many Bryants, Galloways, Morgans, and Prices as you like, but til a true lead recever is here, it's all just scrambling over crumbs.

Now there's a thought..wonder if it's what Payton has in mind, THAT would be an opening day offensive 'surprise" that'd make a few DCs take notice.
Also would indicate even more faith in Bledsoe by the CS.

08-31-2005, 12:57 PM
I think if Price gets signed, there is a chance he could end up as the #2 alongside keyshawn, because TG would fit well as the slot receiver. It depends if he still has the old skills of his previous bledsoe days leftover from the disaster that playing with Vick as a QB must have been. They would likely both get their fair share of playing time though.
and as someone previously had said, it takes a lot of pressure off of us for next years draft, especially with no good wr's really coming out next year.
Danny White
08-31-2005, 01:23 PM
Not sure if this has been mentioned or not, but isn't Keyshawn's contract up soon? It struck me that there may be some contract issues with him after this season. If we can get Price aboard, this enables us to cut Key loose after this season, or at least have a better bargaining position with him.
I love this signing if it happens... not primarily for this year, but for the future. The hope with Morgan was that he would be the guy after Key and Glenn were put out to pasture in a year or so... that clearly didn't pan out, so maybe Price can be that guy with Crayton emerging as a promising threat.
The competition will be good for Crayton, who I see coming off the bench in special situations. If everyone stays healthy this year, we may have a crowded WR corps and Crayton may lose some playing time, but we'll be much more set going into next year and into the future.

Key is in the 2nd year of a 4 yr deal. Basically, what I remember Key saying in some article is that if he has another season similar to last year's numbers-wise, then he may want to revisit his contract situation. His contract numbers are very reasonable thru the life of it, so if he's still producing then I don't see a reason not to keep him, even if his role is reduced.
smashmouth
08-31-2005, 01:51 PM
I think with Price, we will instantly become a 3 WR set formation team.
They would then use Key,Price,Glenn in the slot,Witten, and a one back set with Julius.
Julius can find more holes out of that set because of the type of runner he is.
Crayton will be on this team and will be the 4th receiver, just don't fall in love with people, fall in love with production.
If Crayton is better than all of those, then that's who they'll put out there, but some receiver will go down and Crayton needs to be ready.
I say make the deal.

I think Price becomes an immediate #2 with Glenn being used as athe 3rd guy where he isn't asked to play every down. Crayton is already a good special teamer in the 4th slot and the 5th guy would be pure special teams, Crowder or Copper.
I think KJ and Crayton split time at the #3 slot. Glenn is your #1 speed guy and Price is a solid #2 with a credible passer like Bledsoe. KJ's lost a step and he's #3 at best now.

Well Rack, I'd prefer Warrick because he'd be a plus on specials.
Bledsoe must be lobbying bigtime for Price, bigtime, because he doesn't represent what Parcells has always maintained in a receiver that low on the chart....contributions on specials..a la Dedric Ward's hoped for but not realized contributions.
Aaron Glenn's presence tho, must be causing Bill some relief. Not only can he return punts in a pinch, but he claims he WANTS to. *what a guy
IF it happens, one thing we can be sure of is it WILL be interesting. :D
I don't want to see Patrick get shoved aside either, but I think he can inevitably outplay ANY receiver on this roster, and that includes a potential Price.
In one way, I am ALL for giving Bledsoe everything he says he needs to be sucessful. (or any QB for that matter)
Either he WILL get it done surrounded with what make him feel comfy, or he will have ZERO excuses when he fails.
I don't know how I'm expected to contribute to this board when LTN is dropping impeccable logic and saying everything better than I could've said it. I think I'll go to the Fantasy Football Zone....
LTN hit the nail on the head with the giving Bledsoe options comment, IMO.
All it takes is a four-or-five (or more) week injury to Keyshawn or Glenn, and our receiving corps looks pitiful -- with or without Quincy Morgan, especially considering his growing disdain for being here.
My guess is attorneys are reviewing the contract. They are scheduling a PC for tomorrow afternoon. I'd guess 3:00 EST.
Price a Cowboy - I am SO much happier with our WR depth. Let Crayton compete just like the other 53. Play the best.....

I agree, I have been waiting for someone to mention Price over Johnson. KJ has not had a visible preseason, maybe he will pick it up, maybe not. It has been my impression that Bledsoe is not comfortable with him, and I felt KJ would decline in production this year, especially if Terry Glenn is healthy all year.
I do not think Parcells will bench KJ though, so if Price does come here I bet the top three rotate alot.
Another thing everyone refers to our #1 or #2 receivers, but in my opinion Witten is our #1 receiver. It was evident in preseason when then line him up outside more often than not. Especially when Campell is on the field, look for Witten to be outside.

With all the speculation of the Cowboys going after TO next season, this is music to my ears. Sounds like Stephen, at least, doesn't think TO's attitude and character would fit in here.
yeah thats why we signed Meshawn. We want team players.
