The man named Suh is a mercenary now. The Cowboys won’t pay him. Suh is waiting for Tampa or some team to offer him 6 million. I still remember the playoff game against Detroit in 2014 when he whipped Martin and Frederick’s butts. Then against the Rams he detroyed Martin again. We should have signed him two seasons ago when Suh hinted about coming here on social media.

I would like the signing, but I think the front office is gun shy after what happened with Poe a few years ago.

"After a poor-run defense performance in the playoff loss to the San Francisco 49ers last season, it was clear that the Dallas Cowboys needed to make upgrades. In the Draft, you did see them address the interior defensive line with the pick of Arkansas DT John Ridgeway, who’s known for his ability to fill space and stop the run, but he alone won’t be able to solve their problem.

As of right now, the franchise will enter Training Camp with the usual suspects from last year (Neville Gallimore, Osa Odighizuwa, Trysten Hill, and Quinton Bohanna). But with Bleacher Report writer Ian Wharton suggesting Hill as a player the Cowboys could cut this offseason, there could be an urgency to add bodies.

To help offset the possible cut, I wanted to discuss if DT Ndamukong Suh could be an option. Although he’s on the older side, Suh has shown every year he can be available health-wise and after last season also proved he still has juice left in the tank.

Going off his stats last season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Suh collected six sacks, 13 QB hits, 27 tackles, seven TFL (tackles for loss), and one fumble recovery. Comparing those stats to the Cowboys DTs, he would have ranked 1st in almost all categories except for total tackles, as he would have been 3rd.

Adding Suh would finally give the club a true run-stopper that they have lacked for a few seasons. Additionally, he brings a Super Bowl-winning mentality and toughness that the Cowboys desperately need."

If Ndamukong Suh is willing to accept a 1-2 year veteran-cheap, team-friendly deal, should the Cowboys chase after and sign him?

What say you?

I mentioned this in another thread. But I think the Cowboys are saving cap space to roll over to next season because they won't be restructuring Dak. I'm not saying this because I think they are getting rid of him. I just think they have the opportunity to not push another 30M forward, and they're taking it. There won't be any huge cap spikes next year. Nothing that won't be offset. So not restructuring Dak is the only thing I can think of.

This is both good and bad if it happens.

Don’t think 1 bad stretch will have them looking for his replacement

They could. But I don't think he can be replaced for another 3 years. To do so would be very painful to say the least.

drafting a DT in the 5th round of the draft is not addressing the issue. Now if they wouldve have moved up and drafted Davis from Georgia then i would say yeah okay. They do what they have done for the last 27 years and that is, ignore the interior of the d-line and then pray the band-aid at safety positions hold up. They still dont seem to understand u build a defense from the inside out.

It seems like the purposely avoid drafting DTs and safeties high in the draft. And we need a playmaker at both positions.
We get them at running back (Zeke, Murray), receiver (Dez, Coop, Lamb, T.O. - free agencies), offensive line, linebacker and defensive ends. But we treat safety and DT like Kryptonite.
Shrug.
