Default Anthony Spencer willing to play DE
The Dallas Cowboys' switch from a 3-4 standard defense to a 4-3 formation could mean a potential position change for outside linebacker Anthony Spencer.

Jordan Woy, Spencer's agent, said Sunday his client is open to moving to defensive end.

"He can play either," Woy said. "They played a 4-3 for some of the snaps this past season."

I believe Spencer played Defensive End in College before the Cowboys converted him to Linebacker.

With what Spencer can make as a FA it is hard to imagine them paying him big money for a scheme that really doesnt fit what he does best.

He will still do what he does best stop the run to the strong side and rush the passer from the strongside, it will eleminate what he is weakest at (dropping into coverage) IMO.

Is he willing to take a pay cut?

This. It doesn't matter what he's willing to play if we can't afford him he won't be a Cowboy next season.

I don't get people saying "scheme doesn't fit him"... The kid played with his hand in the dirt in college just as Ware did.

There's a laundry list of college DEs who couldn't play that position in the NFL. So it's more complicated than that.

I think he could play it but I certainly don't want to pay him to do so. Move on. Use that money elsewhere.

We'll settle this with a good dust up.

Exactly... If you have Spencer and Ware coming off the edge in a 4-3 that's scary.

7 years ago.

He's never been a great pass rusher when he is engaged with offensive tackles -- and playing as a 4-3 DE he'll be engaged with an Offensive Tackle 95% of the time.

Seems silly to break the bank for a guy that will be unproven at the position. If you want to spend that type of money, might as well get someone more proven as a pass-rushing end.

Also, it would be in Spencer's interest to get to FA and go to a 3-4 team. That's where I see him getting the most money.

If the Cowboys could retain Spencer, sign a decent guard, and a decent DT through FA, then I would retain him.

Still left to accomplish:
sign OT Winston or G Moore
