I was not happy missing out on ET and thought if we were “all in” we would have found a way to spread his $30m guaranteed out over enough years to make it palatable. But I also understand just not going there if we are using the money to improve other positions for this year. We have not yet done that. Cobb is a nice replacement for Beasley, and mostly a wash. Really liked the Covington and Hyder additions. Great value, but still role players. Iloka is solid, but just a band aid and not a significant improvement over Heath... So, to me, this year’s free agency success will be judged by if we get Quinn. I have always liked his fit for Marinelli’s 4-3. And he would be a legit threat opposite D Law that teams would have to gameplan for. One of them would always have a one on one on third downs. If we miss on Quinn, I will consider this free agency a failure. Without Quinn or Gregory, our DL will have taken a significant step back. And we cannot afford that. And that’s assuming D Law resigns and is healthy. Thoughts?

Dallas really needs help at DE and Quinn would be that, coupled with the draft the DE could be very strong indeed if the Cowboy's play their cards right .

Wonder who the best pass rusher available at 58 will be, hopefully the next DeMarcus Lawrence.

They should pull the tag on DLaw before he signs it and let that fool walk with his bad wing, then sign Quinn immediately.

That would be difficult since he's not a free agent. Miami has made him available for trade.

Just for the sake of having a successful FA period, maybe we should have a talk with Miami to see what it would take.

If things fall right we could have a deep and talented defensive line.

Hopefully they are successful in trading for Quinn.
Hopefully Dlaw is re-signed.
Hopefully Gregory only receives a small suspension.
Hopefully Taco shows some improvement in year 3.
Hopefully Hyder's achiles is healed and he can return to previous form.
Hopefully Covington can build on his previous success in Houston.
Hopefully Woods continues to impress.
Hopefully Collins can stay healthy and show improvement.

McDowell? Imagine if he is recovered and they can add him cheap.
Another piece or two added in the draft would be great as well.
