From another board...Ferguson in the bag - Page 2 - Dallas Cowboys Forum

Wednesday can't come soon enough. Signing him would be a great start to rebuilding the front 7 IMHO.

Not only that but Sexon isn't an agent, Sexton is.
A tipster that good would certianly know how to spell the agent's name.

It certainly wouldn't be a shock if we did get Ferguson signed first thing Wed. morning. It's a move that's been rumored to happen all year becuase of the connections. The NY papers reported this morning that some in the Jets orginization think Parcells already has something lined up with Ferguson.

Signing him would be a nice way to get things started. I think they want to add at least one starter at each level of the defense. Probably 2 in the secondary.

Hollywood Henderson (the forum member, not the player) scooped the board that he met JJ at a Champions sports bar in Indy while our owner dined with Sexton and Parcells. Today, multiple reports that we are interested in Ferguson, including one that claims the Jets are worried that he is ready to jump to Dallas. Where there is smoke there is fire. I bet he's our first signing.

This really isn't abnormal tampering. Its what goes on. its strange that specifics like that would surface, so that is doubtful, but if true nobody would ever think twice about the tampering side of it.

From kffl forums, a reponse to a similar thread:

DC,

I have confirmed this as well . He will be in Dallas on Thursday to sign the deal. I am trying to get the numbers to post and will do so when I hear word

TheKey · 02-28-2005

Thursday?? How about Wednesday.

A paralegal is the first clue that the deal is unlikely.

I think that is a capital idea. Assuming we have all that capital.

personally, I hope we go a little bigger even than ferguson.

Its not ok if you don't get caught. Bad only if caught.
