3 Potential Cuts by other teams would they be of interest to Cowboys

3 Potential Cuts by other teams do you see any Cowboy interest ?

Matt Barkley, quarterback, Philadelphia Eagles
Montee Ball, running back, Denver Broncos
Zac Stacy, running back, New York Jets

 

[manster4ever]

NO interest in Ball or Stacy IMO...Barkley? Maybe

 

[EMMITTnROY]

What a swift, staggering fall for both Stacy and Ball.

 

[sureletsrace]

Aren't Stacy and Ball good RBs?

What am I missing?

Edit: Not really good, but good.

Why would Barkley be interesting if Tebow beats him out?

Stacy is solid. Ball is talented.

Id take either, but I prefer Stacy as he had 900+ yards in 2013

Yeah I think Stacy could be very good behind this OL. Montee Ball too.

Why not?

Stacy is a bowling ball at RB who will get those dirty yards. I know Tre Mason was the more dynamic back and Stacy's YPC didn't look pretty behind STL's line. But we're talking about our offensive line here.

Ball is intriguing too with his pedigree and experience in a zone blocking scheme at Wisconsin.

Boys keep only 2 qb's. Shocked if they keep 3 when a quality DL then has to get cut.

You are not indulging in the fantasy that there are teams that will be cutting starting quality RBs.

Stacy I believe is safe with the Jets. Now, Ball might be in danger. But then again, if he can't hold a third string job in Denver, I fail to see what he could do other than replace Dunbar.

The issue is with our depth that we allow some positions to come with a "template". In other words, the fourth or fifth guy here, needs to do this.

I understand it, but it is a rigid thought process. We certainly believe in tiered depth. All teams do, in a way, but I think we like to assign roles based on the pecking order more than some other teams.

if Tebow beats him out it's more because of Chip Kelly's ego than a competition of capable QB play.

i am admittedly a USC homer but i would jump at the chance to bring in Barkley i think he could be a great backup QB

Looks like a thread for the new forum.

Very interesting take on the depth. I guess I've always known that to be the case, but you articulated it well.

I can see a trade made by someone for Montee Ball at some point in the next 2 days, I'd give them Hanna for him

he's better than tebow, vaughn, showers and maybe even weeden

I think Hanna's injury came at the absolute worst possible time. I think the Cowboys would have loved to have showcased Hanna to possibly move him. I saw where what I feel is a lesser TE recently traded for a 6th round pick and was bummed the Cowboys missed out in the action.

My fingers are crossed for Zach Zenner in Detroit. That have a surplus of backs and Zenner has made waves this preseason.

Because he could tell Dallas the inside scoop on the Philly offense.

 

[conner01]

Any RB they bring in has to play special teams
Otherwise that means you cut a dline guy because they are not cutting Dunbar without someone to replace him on special teams

Some expect them to only carry 2.
