The problem is Stephen is too gun shy. If he hasn’t seen them to it for us he doesn’t believe they can do it for us so he won’t pull the trigger.

Get Armstrong back and draft a guy.

Randy Gregory
Sacks 6
Games Started 12
QB HIts 17
TFL 4
Tackles 19

Dorance Armstrong
Sacks 5
Games Started 5
QB Hits 12
TFL 3
Tackles 37

I think this is a good plan unless ZaDarius Smith can somehow be had for less than Gregory and his back is fine. Lot of ifs.

Armstrong is no world beater, but is solid and plugs a glaring hole in the Defense. See what he can do in 16 games.

Is he still available? His back worries me though.

A team just signed him to a larger deal that Dallas had lined up.

Gregory was solid and the defense lost a good player.

Yes we save cap space but it just creates another whole we have to fill in the draft.

The front office dropped the ball on this and Jerry Jonese is a terrible GM for allowing this to happen. He's a complete joke.

You don't pay solid players $13M who have a history of missing more games than they play.

This morning's antics should be celebrated in the long run.

Last I heard yes - there's a few guys in the 29-32 age range who are hanging around I just have no grasp of their price tags.

Chandler Jones, ZD smith, Von Miller, couple others.

That people keep making this comparison is hilarious. Anyone who watches them play knows one is clearly a better and more talented DE.

It's why in pretty much all NFL circles Gregory was viewed a prime FA candidate and Armstrong will be a Week 2 signing by someone (maybe us) as a depth signing.

The problem here is that the Cowboys probably don't have a plan B. They likely put their eggs all in the Gregory basket at DE.

Now we will see some of the other big names roll off the board and the Cowboys will scramble to find an older, declining vet. I really hope I am wrong but history tells us a lot.
