A lot of handwringing over losing players like Church, Wilcox, Carr, Claiborne, McClain, Crawford,and Williams. Aren't these the same guys who have been failing year in an year out? Aren't these the guys who can't stop anyone? It's time to rebuild the entire defense and that doesn't include overpaying the players who have been mediocre at best. Let it play out and see who they sign and draft. If we start the season with worse safeties, CBs, and DL, then I'll join in with all you negative nancies but I just can't get choked up about them not paying Barry Church $7 million a year to never make a big play.

Will he take the vet minimum? Otherwise, we aren't allowed to have him.

Its crazy for us to get worse this offseason, and hope we hit the lottery in the draft like last year. Make no bones about it, we are a worse team without Romo an option behind Dak.

I like that they are being smart, but to me he is a safe bet. He has been consistently good. I can't recall any off-the-field issues and he rarely misses games.

Oh I like him, but we aren't trying to get better this offseason.

Right...if we get better we won't get the #1 draft pick in the next draft. That's the ticket to the SB.

Well us having the #4 pick certainly didn't help us win the SB this year.

Yet we are so smart that we think we can turn this D around with the #28 pick in the draft.

We came close though. Just need one more high pick to put us over the fence. Jerry says so.

Jerry can take a long walk off a short pier.

He could but, since he can't get out of his chair due to too much Johnny Walker Blue, we'll just have to put
up with him. The guy with the gold makes all the rules...don't you know.

Again, we do not have $14 million in cap space if Romo is designated a June 1st cut. Those savings from cutting him will ONLY appear after June 1st. We will NOT have it to spend on FAs right now.

According to Stephen, the Cowboys will never be major players in FA again. It rarely worked out for them. They will build
through the draft and only try to fill in holes in FA with minor league contracts. That's the new Cowboy way and if you can't
take that, the Deadskins board is looking for free spenders.

Yeah that whole Charles Haley and Deion sanders thing didn't work out so well did it? ... er wait..

We should, we just made someone else's free agency period by releasing Romo for nothing.

Yet we don't care. We are such a dominant unbeatable team......that we don't care.

Yeah right.
Do you have any inside info that your not sharing with us. Was there any offers made for Romo?
Or was the speculation from all the sports hacks that got you fired up.

What are all you guys crying for. We got Dak...We got Zeke... We got Dez... We got Witten.
What else could you want. The OL and Zeke will lead us to the promised land... I heard it on this board many times.
We got Jabrill Peppers..

That's when FA starts for us every year anyway.......

Same thing was said last year in the offseason........what happened? Everybody chill

Uh huh, we also followed it up with one of our best drafts in history.

Guess we are supposed to assume we can do that again cause we are supposed to be the best team in the league in the draft now.....and not only that, we are rumored to lose alot more players this year. Last year it was mostly cause of suspensions, this year more guys are just going elsewhere on the first day of free agency. We didn't deal with that as much last year and its a totally different situation.

We also pick #28, not #4.
