Free Agency a Success

[QuincyCarterEra]

Drafts rarely mean much for the upcoming season it's more for the future.

Huh?

2018: LVE, Williams, and Gallup all made sizeable impacts
2017: Awuzie and Woods made sizable impacts
2016: Elliot, Collins, Dak, and Brown all made sizable impacts

I wouldn't say rarely

 

[StarBoyz83]

TE- Lost Swaim; Gained Witten and McCelroy
DE- Gained Quinn and Hyder
DT- Gained Covington
SAF- Gained Iloka

Think we upgraded at all those positions, while only downgrading at LB and slot, and I guess backup RB. And this is before the draft. If we can continually improve our roster in free agency with cap savvy moves, then continue drafting well that's a recipe for success.

See them pretty much as lateral moves that filled holes.

Too many 1 year deal, no stability moving forward and if someone shows out DAL has no control over a Covington, Cobb, Hyder or Quinn. However, this style of contracts could be in prep for 2020 lockout.

Dallas is not looking to build in FA

They can be filling holes and upgrading at the same time, correct?

Possibly but I dont see them as upgrades. Time will tell.

lets slow our roll We can judge free agency in due time, during the season. Now aint the time, its premature.I do like the signings though.

 

[Nightman]

these don't tend to be available without extra baggage

we happened to obtain one last season (amari)

how many explosive playmaking tight ends exist today? our young lbs are explosive/playmaking enough

c'mon.... those are some weak excuses....baggage??? what does that even mean????

we got older and slower instead of younger and faster.... on purpose

Witten, SLee, AHurns, Iloka, No RB, Quinn make Tony Romo look fast

 

[QuincyCarterEra]

Sean Lee and Hurns were already on the team

Quinn ran a 4.62 40(91 percentile)

 

[CouchCoach]

Not yet it isn't. The proof will be in the play when it gets real.

Quinn ran a 4.62 40(91 percentile)

Gregory ran a 4.64

Before back surgeries for Quinn

SLee had no guarantees left and AHurns' option was picked up ....they were gone and we would have saved over 12m in cap space

Witten was in the booth

Them still being on the team doesnt make us slower, this has nothing to do with contracts

And Quinn still has speed. If you dont believe that, you haven't watched him. John Owning has a great breakdown on twitter if you haven't

For the first time in years, I feel like free agency has been a net positive. While I was disappointed that we were not in on ET, I understand passing for that price. Other than that, we’ve added Quinn, Cobb, Iloka, C Covington, Hyder, Fleming, Olawale, Ross, Woods, March-Lillard, and Witten, and lost only Beasley, Swaim, and D Wilson. If we can get Lawrence done for $20m/per, will be ideal offseason. Kudos, FO

I agree, but Cobb and Quinn are really the only two that will really make a difference. Witten I like, not sure that was really FA. But I do like most of the signings as cost conscious moves.

If we get a DT or safety with our 2nd round pick Ill be happy. Take a nice young RB with the 3rd or 4th and Ill be even more happy.

I think that's the plan

 

[Typhus]

Wow so if a player had the production of 120 catches you still wouldn't want him on the team because of whatever issue you have with him... nice

ya, I don't like bologna, but I will still eat it if Im hungry and someone throws a bologna sandwich in my face.

 

[fairviewfarmer]

Jeff Heath is still starting at safety. Let that sink in

That might change after the draft. Jmo.

 

[Hardline]

How do we know if these free agent signings are success.
They haven't played a single game yet.

The DT we draft should help this season.

 

[Brooksey]

Draft isn't over yet. We could have a new starter by mid-season
