A Great Offseason For The Cowboys would be defined HOW?

RealCowboyfan · Feb 28, 2012

If I was the GM this would be the offseason

RELEASES:

Kenyon Coleman
Kyle Kosier
Terrance Newman (if he wouldn't get his contract reduce to save the team money on this years cap)

SIGNS:

Mario Williams
Carl Nicks
Laron Landry or Dashon Goldson
Laurent Robinson

Draft

1st Round Scenario

If Cowboys could trade Romo and that first round to get griffin. Then do it...
Kirk Fitzpatrick/Dontari Poe/Devon Still/David Castro

2nd Round Scenario

Dontari Poe/Vontez Burfict

3rd Round

Lemichael James RB OREGON

If you were the GM what decision would you make as far as the offseason. Thoughts?

We aren't going to get a #1 high enough to get Griffin.

dantheman41 · Feb 28, 2012

Trading romo is so dumb. If guy actually had decent line, he would be top 5 qb in league. The qb is far from problem. Burflict sucks! Might not even get drafted now. Did you see him at the combine yesterday? Pathetic. It's extremely unrealistic to sign nicks, Mario Williams, and top safety. We will get 1 at most top tier free agent. Rest value guys. Don't have cap room that Kansas city, Washington or Tampa bay has

1. Addressing the O-Line: Replace Costa at Center, Draft DeCastro (or next best OL), sign Veteran OG/C.

2. Upgrade DBs: Replace Newman at CB (hopefully with Carr) and Ball at S. Draft at least one DB in rounds 2-4.

3. Move Ratliff to DE and draft or sign a NT.

So that's at least one OL, one or more DBs, and maybe a NT via FA and one OL, one or more DBs, and a DL in the draft. Certainly within the realm of possibility.

trading away all the picks it would take for a shot at rg lll would make this offseason a disater....stay at 14 and pick up a good solid player...we have so many holes it should be hard to miss.

slomoxn · Feb 28, 2012

??????? is this the scenario in the land of Never Never???

AMERICAS_FAN · Feb 28, 2012

The OP lost all credibility with the suggestion to trade Romo. Wow!

Zimmy Lives · Feb 28, 2012

1. Re-sign Robinson and Spencer; tender Fiammetta.
2. Sign a center, CB and safety in free agency.
3. Draft LB, DE, guard, CB, and center in the first four rounds.

No injuries before opening day.

I think you're going to be very disappointed this off season

The Natural · Feb 28, 2012

I'm just going to assume this thread is a joke and keep it moving

SDCowboy · Feb 28, 2012

Yeah trading one of the top QBs in the league is a great offseason. Trading 31TDs on a top offense will definitely fix the D.

Close but you do realize you have us drafting 5 players in the first four rounds?

But I'm with you. I'm hopeful we can address enough needs in FA to afford us the opportunity to trade down in round one.

If I've said this once, I've said it a dozen times. I want FA wins and plenty of cap dollars utilized well.

1) Target the players you want who are availible and or need to be resigned:
Spencer, Fiametta, Robinson, CB, OG and or OC, FS.

2) Sign them! Sell Sell Sell! Convince these players they need to be here and make it happen.
IF you like a player like Carr and you believe he is worth 42mil on a 6 yr deal, fine. Now the bidding takes his number to 48mil, PAY IT!
Don't lose out on a player you want, a player you believe will start and help us, just to fit some truely non-existent pay scale.

You're right! I'm hoping for a 4th as a compensatory pick for Bowen.

I'd also re-sign Elam for one more year and try and draft a developmental safety just in case Church falls on his butt.

Newman
Kosier (unless he can become the starting C)

Sign in FA:
Brandon Carr

1. David DeCastro, G - Stanford
2. Bruce Irvin, OLB - WVU (you can't teach natural pass-rushing)
3. Brandon Boykin (Georgia) OR Josh Norman (Coastal Carolina), CB
4. Phillip Blake, C - Baylor
5. Josh Chapman, NT - 'Bama
6. Donta Paige-Moss, OLB - UNC

A great off season is ignoring 99% of any advice offered by the OP.
