Twitter: 5 safeties the Cowboys could dive into free agency for

[Doomsday101]

Its funny people talk about speed and range. Simmons ran a 4.62 lol but anyway

he has 16 ints in 5 years. I think some get caught up in 40 time yet this game comes down can you make the plays or not? He seems to manage to get himself in position to make the plays for me that matter more than anything.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Simmons has free agent bust written all over him..not saying I wouldn't be interested but I would not be shocked if his career here was like how Brandon Carr's was......

 

[aikemirv]

Williams for 8 to 10, for a player with 13 ints and over 30 PD in 4 seasons? Several sources here in Louisiana are expecting him to get 14 to 15 and a major reason why the Saints are going to have to let him leave!

I wonder how many teams are hurting a bit for cash given the loss of stadium revenues this past year.

 

[Mobinvans]

Dallas sucks at free agency like pretty much every thing else they do

Think many of the teams that are going to be over we’re going to be over regardless. Saints sports radio was discussing not being able to resign Williams last season. On another interesting note the chief’s are supposed to be 19m over next season after coming to a long term deal with Chris Jones. A couple of articles from sports media there are listing Anthony Hitchens as a prime candidate for the chopping block!

Mike picked a safety in the first before so here's to hoping they'll address the position. We need a range safety. Wilson looks like the box is his magical spot.

Keanu Neal is a FA as well and not listed on the OP. IMO-- that has a pretty good chance at happening due to his connection with Quinn, and given Neal's injury history, he may not break the bank. For the record-- I would support the move. He would help the D adapt to Quinn and if he can stay on the field, he is a solid S.

I don’t expect any major splashes in free agency.

We do the same thing every year, then scrape the bargain basement for left overs.

Probably a underrated name. Very well could happen if we base it on how they've approached free agency.

Certainly this year, with a huge quarterback contract upcoming as well as a reduced salary cap overall. It's truly a bad year to be an NFL free agent and I expect a lot of players to sign one year deals in the hopes of hitting an improved market in 2022.

He's a name I like as well, but I keep reading 'strong safety' with his name, and I believe we already have our strong safety in Donovan Wilson.

Yep, and especially at the Safety position

Great point and probably will prove true.

Problem there is one year deals need to count dollar for dollar on that years cap.

No way to finnagle a lower cap value in year one like teams may need to do.

It'll be interesting to see how much one offsets the other in this market.

I do fully expect to see some surprise releases by several teams this off-season.

Earl Thomas is their kind of signing at this point.

Should be cheap and i'm sure they will say they did their homework and feel good about everything.

 

[InTheZone]

Priorities on defense should be interior DL and every linebacker position. But yes a replacement for Woods is also needed. As long as we keep Wilson we're not hurting too bad back there.

A judge has granted the estranged wife of seven-time Pro Bowl safety Earl Thomas a restraining order following an alleged drunken attack one day after Christmas, according to a report.

This was only a few weeks ago. I thought they may sign him but Earl seems to not be letting up with the drama

The issues that caused his exit in Baltimore and no team to sign him are still front and center and haven’t been addressed or corrected.

If nothing changes, nothing changes.

If he is an upgrade over Wilson, and Donavan becomes our 3rd S— I am fine. We need to find a centerfielder FS to replace X Woods for sure

Neal isnt an upgrade by game just name.

 

[Hawkeye19]

Wouldn't take much to be an upgrade over the safeties on our roster. Plus he knows Quinn and the system and can help stabilize the back end with some football IQ. He has also been hurt quite a bit, so how much of his declining play is due to injuries? I'm not saying he is a long term "solution" or even a huge upgrade-- just that he may be able to help us more than a guy like Thompson or X Woods would going forward
