Cameron Fleming? I thought we had solved the off season by signing the reincarnation of Erik Williams. I mean there's 5 threads saying the off season has been a success...

id say its not been a failure and it may not be a "success" in what many fans want to see, but to the plan this FO has, it has been well executed. We are not ever going to sign big name guys but we will sign fringe starters or solid depth guys for reasonable amounts....we have done that and still have some work to do.

The biggest thing is we havent really done anything bad with a contract that is going to hamstring us going forward and we have opened up our flexibility in the draft a bit. LB is still a pretty big gaping hole but overall pretty solid execution of the cowboys plan in FA....whether you agree with their plan is a different story but they are doing the right things to be successful the way they are building the team.

Nothing is official until the news is broken by the Cowboys organization.
I look at everything posted here as rumor until confirmed.

Contracts can be signed on the weekend. 48 hours is a long time to get Jerry's plane yup pick someone up. He's going back to NE.

Agents try really hard to avoid something like that happening, especially for a lower level free agent.

It would make the agent look bad if they have already agreed on a contract with the Cowboys.

If it happens, it would be more likely with a big name free agent because agents will stand on their heads in a bucket of poop to please the big name players.

I just seen an alert where the Jets rescinded their offer to Suh.

Has nothing to do with what you are saying, which I tend to agree with. But teams do the same thing sometimes as to backing out of verbal deals. However, I have no idea what they rescinded the deal.

On a certain website that does not want Cowboys Zone to link to it's articles, I have read the plan is to have Cam Fleming, Marcus Martin, and Joe Looney all signed by tomorrow.

You just have to take my word on this. But I'm a little nervous, too.

Well are you 100% sure if this. Why make such a statement. You are not anymore correct than if someone says...he is signing here for sure.

Everything I find still says, “ going to sign”. Hope your right.
yeah, literally was in the car 30 mins ago and it was the 2 minute drill update...they said he had signed, not "was going to " sign....i assume that means its done

Your right contracts can be faxed and signed on the weekend. I hope NE does brain wash him and change his mind.

It's never 100% sure until the ink has dried and even then we've been left at the alter. We'd never speculate on anything if we needed to be 100% sure. The draft board should be closed. On this topic, I hope you're right, only because we need the bodies, and maybe the Witten restructure had to happen first. But when an announcement says we're about to sign someone, then a full 2 days later it hasn't happened, the track record says we've been played.

Is there any link that suggests he is backing out or having second thoughts or is this just your own wild speculation?
Why would you call this wild speculation? We have had FA’s do this to us in the past. Don’t you think we should confirm this signing before rearranging our O line?
