I'm torn... he can still be very effective when he wants to be, but he seems like the kind of guy I don't want to root for

The Cowboys aren’t chasing after any big name free agents. If they sign another free agent between now and training camp it will be just another ho-hum name that won’t excite anyone.

You say he is, I say he was. I guess that's our difference
I mean...he had 6 sacks last year. That tells me he has something left in the tank.

Sure, he isn't what he was 3 years ago but he is likely better than anything we have at DT right now.

He is still the road grader he has always been.

Wait until TC is underway and see who falls from the cuts. We need a prove-it younger guy.
It seems a lot of rental free agents we get never play much again after they are cut from this team.

"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?

That would not Suhprise me.
