Rotational guy. Has position flex.

Doesn’t move the needle for me really. But he at least belongs on an NFL roster

I really wish the cowboys would SIGN A STARTER rather than backup/fringe players.

Exactly, all these jags they sign are just either rotational or the dreaded "depth" guy. In other words, he has a pulse and all his extremities. Great going Jones' clan. What could we do without you.? Come to think of it, we could do better.

I don’t disagree with you man. I feel your pain!

But a starting lineup of

Lawrence / Urban / Gallimore / Gregory is much better than Lawrence / Woods (Poe) / Hill / Smith

Gregory will dominate in the Leo role

I need one more DT.....I'd prefer a vet......

Same here, especially if we can also get Shelvin as well in round 3 or 4. We'd have an excellent dline if we do that. I really like this signing.

Shh about Shelvin. I would love to get him but don't think he will last until us in the 3rd though. If not there are some others who I like. The kid from BYU, Slayton from FL, McNeil from NC ST, the kid from Oregon, and some others.

I agree but have been thinking most of these DL signings are depth and rotation only. I still think one
starter will be in the first 3 rounds from the draft.

They’re going to have to mail a draft pick at DT. Or we are in trouble.

unless they happen to sign someone else who can be the legit starting 1T

I like Slayton a lot too. If we can't get Shelvin, I'd love Slayton or Tonga. IF we get one of those 3, we'll be in excellent shape. Haven't studied McNeil much. I also like the chap from Iowa, though he's more of a 3T.

So if we have him out on the field, does the other team instantly know that we are trying to defend a run?

garyv · Mar 18, 2021

His contract with the Bears was 1 mil and $90,000 guaranteed and I would think somewhere close to
those numbers little more maybe but even 1.5 mil not a big deal

I think the FO really wants Hill/Gallimore to start.

I'm starting to think that as well. A very stupid way to build your team IMO.

Who knew all we had to do was add two roster fillers and a rookie?

I can see it now. Stephen and McClay looking at a white board at the three deep and saying, “well we’re good here. Let’s move onto the next position group.......”

Great....now we’re signing country music stars?

Came here to ask when his next concert is

I wish people had a little more nuance in their takes. Name a DT we have that graded better against the run than him. Is he Dalvin Tomlinson? No. Is he an upgrade at a position we desperately need help in? Absolutely.

Urban's 85.3 Run Defense Score looks promising. Hope he helps against the run much better than what we've had in recent years.

I like Nixon too from Iowa but like you said he is more of 3T.. Jordan Scott is the kid from Oregon.

They need starting quality DL instead of these cheap rotational players that are a dime a dozen. I don’t think any of these signing represents a increase in the talent level of the DL on the roster. None of them are difference makers.

I'll have to study McNeil and Scott more so I can give a better take on him. Between Gallimore, Urban, and Hill, Nixon is not needed anymore imo. Now we need to focus on 1T.

Thank you! He's an excellent upgrade for us. Not on the level of Tomlinson, but Urban is solid. He's a heck of a run stopper for a 3T. That is a HUGE need for us.
