Cowboys remaining FA's

jazzcat22 · Mar 18, 2020

So with the FA frenzy pretty much over, other than making these signings official at 3 PM CST today.

What is next. We know we will get the normal mid and low tier players, as well some of our own. At least in the past they have. But since MM here now, will they continue that, bringing back many of our own players, at least for TC bodies.

Right now we have about 57 players under contract and another 8 or so signed to reserve / futures contract. And in the past most of this they kept depending the draft and UDFA's signed.

We have ERFA A. Woods and RFA Ross, but I have not heard they were tendered offers, so I guess they are now FA's. but I do not believe they count as comp pick losses. Same for not picking up the club option for Fleming. I think this is basically the same as releasing them. As they did Keith Smith several years ago.

We lost 6 player to FA and signed 1 so far.

So left are:
OL - Looney and Su'a-filo
WR - Austin
LB - Smith, March, Thomas, Armstrong
DL - Hyder, Bennett, Covington
DB - Brown, Frazier, Goodwin, I have Westry on my list, but I do not believe he is a FA.

I may be missing a few, not sure.

Which of this players will most likely stay here and your thoughts on them being here or not.

Brown, Sua Filo, Thomas, Goodwin would be my guess to stay

calicowboy54 · Mar 18, 2020

I think you Keep Thomas and Brown for sure, maybe Looney if price is not too high. i'd say Covington based on size, but he did nothing for me last year in the system he was supposed to thrive in.

Stunned nobody has scooped up Looney yet.

I figured a team like the Jets or something would be all over that.

He’s solid. But sometimes we tend to overvalue our own guys

Im surprised he isn’t with the Gents. Dude started a full season at Center. Last year he was mauling people at Guard

CCBoy · Mar 18, 2020

I still like retaining Bennett for the defensive line. He and Wilcox still have some left in the pot, and they would be pure motivators paired up together.

Kaiser · Mar 18, 2020

I think they resign Brown and Looney after the main rush of FA is over, then reassess after the draft and bring back Thomas, Goodwin and Kavon Frazier based on who they take in the draft.

Covington underperformed, I think they spent more money to get a better player at that position.

Bennett could come back but I don't think they are going to spend a lot to do it, they will wait to see what offers he gets.

Daillest88 · Mar 18, 2020

Brown and Bennett are the 2 I want . Looney if we can manage

Not much to fret about one way or the other in my book.

I wouldn't mind Looney or Su'a Filo back on the interior offensive line, and Brown at corner is he's real cheap. Other than that? A lot of indifference. I think we can do better.

Gotta keep Looney some how.

John813 · Mar 18, 2020

Between Looney and XSF I assume Joe would be a higher priority due to his flex.
IS Redmond a C/G? Or just one of those spot? I honestly can't remember if he was thought to play multiple spots.

Sign the O-Line. No for Austin. Keep the best of what’s left if they are good deals for both sides. Get ready for draft.

cowboyec · Mar 18, 2020

C/G Joe Looney
DE Kerry Hyder
LB Joe Thomas

Sandyf · Mar 18, 2020

OL - Looney and Su'a-filo
WR - Austin
LB - Smith, March, Thomas, Armstrong
DL - Hyder, Bennett, Covington
DB - Brown, Frazier, Goodwin

If we resign any of them, probably won't happen for a couple of weeks.
On the OL with the kid we drafted last year who can play both OC and OG, seems to leave us out on Looney and Su'a-Filo and we also resigned Redmond who they like
On WR, if we really are interested and really do sign Emmanuel Sanders then Austin is gone although think he is gone anyway
On the DL, don't believe any of those are in the plans especially with the McCoy signing and tender of A. Woods and Hill also there
On the LB, believe they have high hopes for Gifford so really not sure any of them are resigned
On the DB, could see Goodwin and Brown back, not sure on Frazier and may depend on who else we sign

More of a G but they were giving him snaps at C in TC.

I've watched enough venters that get over run and can't adjust , to know looney did a good job. Not saying Pro bowl, but he did good.

Im think they are going to try to make Redmond the next Looney. With XSF gone, he is probably lock for the 54 again
