I've been saying the Cowboys should be aggressive in getting him since he left Arizona after 2016.

DLaw and Campbell would have made good bookend DE's.

That dudes been around forever. Wasn't he drafted the same year as Ware and Canty?

The only problem with taking a DT with pick 12 is I have no idea where Dallas has them rated. It could be that Mason Graham is the only DT with that high of a value, and he's possibly top-five valued and will be gone. Now, I personally believe Walter Nolen is worth the pick, but I'm not a scout, so I have no idea if teams value him that highly. I could live with trading down slightly if he's not and taking him or Derrick Harmon (or even Kenneth Grant, but he's more of an NT), but again, I'm not sure of the value or if we could even find a trade partner. I'd also hate to pass on a higher-rated player because we've wedged ourselves into having to take a DT, even if I want one really, really badly.

I'm for giving Odig the transition tag, which means we'd have to pay him around $19 million this season (or match any offer for him), drafting a DT in the first or second round depending on value (and at least one more) and seeing if we can make it to where we can let Odig walk the next year on a big contract or if he proves to be the better DT and we need to retain him long term.

Giving him $19 million won't break us or keep us from being able to sign FAs if we simply restructure the base amounts for Dak and CeeDee and extend Parsons. That creates around $60 million in cap space, and we can create more with other moves if needed. Letting Odig go means we have a hole to fill and the way the Joneses handle filling holes means we'd likely end up with an inferior player doing it.

I haven’t really looked much into it. Last I checked Kiper had 3 DT in the top 19 so I figured they could grab one in the 12 range. At least take the shot.

I really doubt it though. They just don’t value the position and don’t seem to learn from what’s in front of their eyes.

I know, who are we kidding - but if you had your choice of 3 FA's who would it be (including our own if you wish) - trying to make it realistic as possible money wise. Not just picking the top 3 available

This is going off of PFF rankings

11. Stefon Diggs - WR - this one just seems like a Jerry special. Gets the Diggs brothers and he's coming off a season ending inj. Might come cheaper

18. Dre Greenlaw - LB - good coverage LB who would fit the new defensive scheme. Just need to make sure Achilles injury is healed - HUGE need

53. Calais Campbell - DT - dude might be in a walker still playing, but he's effective as they get against the run. Not sure if he comes back, but a 1 yr deal who fit perfect, especially if they draft a couple DTs this year. Only thing is, he's not quite the pass rusher he use to be and that might not fit. Jarran Reed might be a better fit, but you'd have to give him a longer deal and he's already 32...

Zack Baun and Milton Williams.
I wouldn’t touch any receiver over 30, especially one coming off an ACL!

Are these dumper diving specials?
That's where we do our free agency shopping.

Depending on who you ask, Mason Graham and Walter Nolen may be worth the pick. Some have Derrick Harmon rated ahead of Nolen, but I haven't seen many with Harmon as a top 12, and Kenny Grant seems to be in the 18-22 range. I think Nolen's value shot up after he dominated during Senior Bowl practices.

My free agent list would be to trade Micha to someone else to baby sit! Cowboys don't need a crybaby on social media. Trade him for some players that want real football, not bottle fed.

By the way, I just do not like that player.

I wouldn't be surprised by us signing Diggs since he is coming off an injury and his brother is here. I would think Eberflus will get a linebacker he wants, but probably someone he has worked with before. I doubt we'll do anything at DT other than re-signing Odighizuwa because he won't be cheap.

Besides WR and LB, my hope is that we add a vet CB to start while our Diggs is sidelined and a vet RB. I've got some names in mind, but those are the positions that I think need to be addressed before the draft to make it to where we are not wedged into drafting particular positions early. Yes, there are positions that still would be priorities to make better, but not have to have because we have no one to fill them.

We don't need a feel good injured brother duo.
 
Zack Baun LB
Jeremy Chinn S
DJ Reed CB

If the defense doesn’t improve no hope . The Eagles stuffed Mahomes and the Chiefs offense like an overflowing toilet . 24-0 at half


Regardless of the halftime BS that said the Chiefs still had a chance no they didn’t
 
Jerry was recently caught shopping for FA's!!!

I just think he's a realistic option. He'll be a free agent and he's coming off an injury that will keep his price down.

In 2023, Stefon had this to say about Trevon wanting Dallas to go get him:

"I always wanted to be with my brother," he said. "That's a thing. He knows that, though, so he's playing on the heartstrings a little bit."
Stefon added that he grew up a Cowboys fan and follows them because of his brother, and he noted he and Trevon talk about playing together "all the time."

I'm not saying that he would be my pick as a No. 2 receiver, but I can see him coming closer to meeting the price point of this front office than uninjured players or players that would cost Dallas a lot in a trade.

For what it is worth, Diggs had 47 catches for 496 yards in eight games last year, so he looked to be on his way to a 90-catch, 1,000-yard season with the Texans before his injury. It's hard to say how he'd play coming off an ACL tear.
 
I would stay away from Diggs and Campbell. Those are guys you hire if you need a player or two to fill in. Maybe you get Diggs if he will play on a cheap contract to be with his brother. And maybe they start a healthy competition between each other and both play better. But there is no way I get out over my skis on contracts for those guys. Greenlaw would be a nice add if he can play but with Overshown out with injury I would look for someone more reliable.

Someone mentioned Milton Williams and I would go after him if the Eagles let him get away. He would be the best DT the Cowboys have had in years. I would still draft another guy in the first 2 rounds.
