Twitter: Everson Griffen shows mutual interest in the Cowboys!

This would be great. Sign him, Send your 1 to NY for Adams, now you're cooking with gas. I know, I know, I'm dreaming...what else do we have to do these days..

You'd better go get tested for "the virus!" lol

That de-escalated quickly.

well, that's awkward isn't it Everson? LOL..now u are limited to the Stanky ole Browns or maybe nothing. Maybe Stevie wanted u for a mere Clinton Dix type deal.

That's why you shoudln't do it. Its not about his play. He's worth the 1st rounder. But there's a lot of other things that go into that.

Someone needs to tell Werder to ask them why not?

Yeah I know he’d be perfect. For 8-10M I’m game, especially with Gregory as the guy to spell him

i'm really starting to hate the word "interest" these days

It would be a huge mistake to trade for Adams like they are one player away. They need to stay out of that market.

Well they haven't had a player like him since Woody. There are no safeties in this class that are close to him. I think a team with our offense, and Griffen, McCoy, DLaw, Smith, Lee, LVE and Adams should be good enough to beat anyone. Doesn't mean they will, but they would have the talent to. I get the $ difference in Adams and a draft pick, but there is no talent like him that would be there at 17.

 

[Rayman70]

hired mercenaries RARELY propel a team to a SB. If ever. Its a team sport. YES, on paper he fits, but would he be a progress stopper of a draftee? We must think about that.

It’s basically Watkins v Werder on who’s right on Griffen

I would LOVE to solidify the offense right now 2 ways. FIRST, get Sanders signed, even if for a year. Lastly, get Daks long-term deal done. STOP FARTING AROUND. We want our starting QB happy and diving into the new offense. We can still go ahead and draft a wr to develop for the slot.Its too deep not to.

I trust Ed on this one. What is Calvin saying in contrast to Ed?

 

[Rayman70]

Clinton Dix is a poor mans George Teague. Very similar safeties. Teague would absolutely knock your block off and was a solid tackler. Dix picks and chooses when to do those things. But at this point, he looks better than anything we have had around here in years.

Griffen is 32 and going on 33. Unless he is will to take $6 - $7 million with incentives, I say pass.

 

[Rayman70]

DO NOT DISCOUNT Donovan Wilson having a stellar camp and preseason and earning a spot on the 53 and maybe getting into the starting line up. He has some tools and swag about him. I like the kid when he was healthy last year. I am eager to see how much progress his game has made.

Considering DEs typically rotate, how could he be some kind of progress stopper, even if they draft a DE? DEs usally take a couple of years to develop anyway.

we agree. It has to be a deal like that or for me, its a no go. His market might dry up if he waits it out.He's gambling by giving an ultimatum to the Vikings. They seem to be moving on from him...leaving just the Browns or us.

I'm definitely not overlooking the potential of Wilson. I like the player and hope that he can come in and contribute.

good point, just trying to be logical from Dallas' perspective. Depends on his role I guess.

I hear ya

I think he will have a dominant camp and surprise. Could even push Dix hard. I expect a lot from him,its a fresh slate, new D, new staff. I think the team will be renewed and energized.
