Moore: Cowboys must re-sign Laurent Robinson, Anthony Spencer during the offseason

http://www.dallasnews.com/sports/dal...-offseason.ece

Who should be the Cowboys' No. 1 priority to re-sign this season?

Linebacker Anthony Spencer and wide receiver Laurent Robinson top the list. Spencer is a good, solid player, but based on his production I don't know how high the Cowboys will be willing to go. If he gets a big offer from another team, I believe the Cowboys will be reluctant to match.

Robinson has proven to be the ideal third receiver and has quickly developed a rapport with Tony Romo. The club will work to get him under contract as soon as they can once the season is over...

Give Robinson some of Spencer's money to ensure you get him. Offer Spencer whatever is left and tell him to take it or leave it. Personally, I'd rather move on with Butler, Albright, a mid-range free agent who is good in run support, and a rookie drafted in the 2nd or 3rd round of this draft coming up. Spencer is just another guy that makes the occasional play but is nowhere to be found when you're up by 3 points with 4 minutes to go.

Spencer- For what?

and conversely, based on his 2011 production what makes anyone think that other teams would offer Spencer a big contract?

I hate when players like Spencer don't step up and put us in this position.

I'm constantly amazed by the thought that Butler can take Spencer's place. Spencer plays the SOLB spot, and Butler just doesn't make the grade there. Butler plays backup to Ware and Spencer for a reason. He is third best at that position.

Does the name Dan Snyder ring a bell?

I dont think Robinson is going to go anywhere. The guy has bounced around the league for a while now and finally found a home and a QB he clicks with. Maybe I am naive but I think he is smart enough to get that fact and will look to build on this season.

Anthony spencer sucks. Don't know how we will ever be able to replace his 4 sacks a year. Hit the road spencer.

I like Spencer, and for the right price I say resign him. If some team offers him the world, let him walk.

They won't be a factor. They're set at their OLB spots and will have no use for Spencer.

Exactly how i feel about it.

If you resign Spencer you have to do it with honesty and sobriety. Don't convince yourself he could blossom. Don't convince yourself he's got ceiling he hasn't reached. He is what he is ... a 4-6 sack OLB who is decent against the run. Evaluate him as such and decide what you're going to pay for that. If someone has convinced themselves he's more than that and willing to pay him more accordingly, let him walk. Don't pull another stupid Marcus Spears signing. But if you're willing to settle for that from one of your OLB spots, you better get some major upgrades elsewhere on the Front 7 ... and I'm not talking about a fat tub of goo nosetackle, I'm talking about a pressure player.

You think resigning Spears was a mistake? (Agree on Spencer, btw).

Resigning Spencer isn't a must. If the price is right then sure we should resign him, but is it a must? Absolutely not.
