Cowboys Could Target Odafe Oweh or Boye Mafe During 26 FA

[75boyz]

You gotta help me out with this one...Mafe registered 2 sacks on 383 pass rush attempts while Oweh racked up 11 in 369. Oweh hasnt missed a single game the past three seasons. There are some that point to Oweh being an inferior run defender but PFF gave him a 66 this year while Mafe got a 67. Mafe also has just 10 snaps logged as a DE over the last two seasons. Oweh has been the more versatile player being about 50/50 on his snaps between OLB and DE.

The only real knock on Oweh has been lower than you'd like snap counts, but thats probably what keep him around $20m per year and not $30m+ per year. Mafe is capable and an excellent player to solidify a unit in a rotational role, but isnt the ideal player you want to bring in to move the needle. His best season he was able to rack up 9 sacks, which is nothing to turn your nose up at, but thats a sack roughly every 50 passing snaps...Owen averaged a sack roughly every 22 passing snaps this past season with LAC.

I'd much rather spend a little more to go get a much better player.Im way off TP, my bad then.

If I'm way off then my bad, TP. I did base my opinion off a pretty good exciter response on the previous Mafeh thread.

i'll defer to you and exciter's superior knowledge to mine on lack of full familiarity of these 2 players and whom would be the better fit from both a production and value perspective.

I misread the games started due to the trade as injuries.
That said , he's only started 8 games in the last 2 seasons. Where are you getting 11 sacks from?
He had 7.5 as a pass rush specialist backing up Khalil Mack. He had none in Baltimore prior to being traded.
Again, he's only started 27 games because he's a liability against the run.
Give me the complete player at Sam... let Eze and Houston pad stats at the Jack!

I was using playoff stats as well. He had 3 in sacks in the postseason so 11 in 13 games overall with LAC. Absolutely correct he was a dud in Baltimore this year.

The issue with Oweh is the snap count, he basically has played similar snaps to Mafe, but he produces full time pass rush numbers on limited snaps. If he were a 50+ snap a game player hes probably a $30m+ a year player though. Thats why I don't really mind the $20m per year price tag hes likely to command.
