Pita Taumoepenu, LB, Vegas Vipers

Taumoepenu was simply a beast for the Vegas Vipers this season. He was voted the league’s Defensive Player of The Year and amassed some impressive numbers on his way to doing so. In 10 games of action, Taumoepenu collected 24 tackles and 6.5 sacks and was the heart and soul of the Vipers defense.

John Parker Romo, K, San Antonio Brahmas

We heard John Fassell talk last week about the fact that anybody and everybody is up for consideration for the kicking job. The Cowboys kicking situation is a huge question mark right now, and with such uncertainty on just who will man the spot, the Cowboys may look to an already warm leg to come in and compete.

John Parker Romo was excellent for the Brahmas this season on his way to being and All-XFL Specialist selection. Romo finished 17-19 on the year while having his longest made kick in the leagues history from 57 yards out while being a perfect 7-7 in the 40-49 yard range.

Jordan Ta’amu, QB, DC Defenders

Jordan Ta’amu, fresh off an XFL Offensive Player of the Year award and a championship game appearance, is an intriguing prospect that may be worth the Cowboys taking a look at. This season Ta’amu was able to put up impressive numbers for the Defenders where he threw for 1,878 yards, 14 touchdowns in the air, while completing 62.6% of his passes. He also rushed for three touchdowns and 301 yards on the ground in the 10 game season, proving to be a dynamic QB in the XFL.

Could have signed him before he tried out for Detroit, but nope.
I don’t know what they’re waiting for. Or what the plan is at kicker. It’s looking more and more likely that they’ll scramble to pick up a spare after another team cuts one.

Perez beat Ta'amu for the XFL championship. Shouldn't they be looking at him? :laugh:

I watched most of that game, Ta'amu was not impressive IMO. However he probably has more potential.

They are being a tad arrogant/stubborn with their approach to the Kicker position.
I truly do not understand their position on Maher. Looking at his 2022 numbers, he’s clearly better than the vet names being thrown around. The tools are there with him. They just need to work on a course correction to the league’s ridiculous in-season rules change.

they are the jones boys ! they are so smart and work 24/7/365 so us ordinary humans cant expect to understand what they are doing ! :thumbup:

But actually this is one of many reasons they always fail somehow. They do some good, then just let off the gas and think that is enough lol.

I think on the working 24/7/365 , that they confuse working and just being alive and piddling around :muttley:

they are probably out looking for a microphone and someone to talk to rather than continue their job of team building.
