Signed by Cowboys Cowboys sign OL Matt Hennessy

Hennessey has started 24 games and is rated higher. Hoffman hasn't been signed and likely will have to sign a vet minimum deal. People need to do a little research. This guy was a 3rd rounder. Hoffman was an undrafted free agent. Use a little common sense.
I've seen both play. Hoffman IS BETTER than Hennesey.
 
He's a backup. I am not sure what Hoffman did to get the boot from Dallas but I thought his attitude on the field was something the Cowboys needed. In any case this is just a swap of backups.
 
Hoffman replacement if he leaves.
Hennessey looks like an upgrade over Hoffman, in both size and strength as well as experience. Hoffman was a try hard player, I just don't thing he had the chore strength needed to play with these bigger stronger defensive linemen, he faced in the league. This signing in an upgrade at backup center and guard, good signing.
 
If Hoffman was starter quality, teams would be fighting to sign the guy. They aren't. He likely ends up back in Dallas on a minimum deal or signs a very low level contract elsewhere.
Hennessey is an upgrade over Hoffman; anybody can see it that have eyes to see with. If Beebe goes down with an injury Dallas will be better off with Hennessey in the lineup, Hennessey has experience pulling and trapping as well if he is asked to this here, another under the radar sneaky good signing for Dallas.
 
Depth is a wise choice for this franchise.

Cowboys O-linemen seem to have this tendency of dropping like flies a week before opening day and then going into December.

He didn't do anything. He just wants to START somewhere. I think he deserves to as well,....just not in Dallas, Beebe has more upside.
 
Replaced Hoffman's roster spot. Haven't watched Hennessy enough to know if he is just as good as Hoffman or not.

But I personally liked Hoffmans attitude and I thought he did well as a spot starter so I hope Hennessy can at least duplicate that type of performance.

24 starts for a piece of scotch tape is pretty damn good in this league. Some think anyone can walk in and start...BS, I have respect for the commitment and work ethic these, bottom of the barrel guys put in. They live and breathe it..pretty cool to watch and pretty sad, too
 
Jerry...come on now. Where is the stinking LINEBACKER YOU PROMISED US???
Maybe Jerry has changed his mind and is now trying to acquire a linebacker that doesn't have a foul odor.

Cowboys seem to be going bigger in the trenches...both lines.
 
Seems to be this guy is a slight improvement over Hoffman. Nasty mauler with attitude. I never heard of the guy honestly. Had to go research. I think this was a move to give us flexibility.
Hennessey was a 3rd round pick from Temple, drafted by the Atlanta Falcons. He is listed 6-3 315. Hoffman was undrafted, Hennessey should be the better player of the two, he should be. I hope he is a nasty mauler as you say.
