I was Just thinking about some of the threads I've read here on the Zone, on the COwboys Being Interested in a certain player, or needing to tweak a position with someone who was an FA, or was released by another team.
That said, interested in knowing if there were any players that the Cowboy's GM had an opportunity to acquire but didn't for one reason or another? And, do any of you have any regrets for any players that were passed up on that you wanted as Cowboys?
For me, I'm still watching Ashley Lelie, Eric Moulds, and Javon Walker to determine if they are going to work out with their respective teams. I do know that Bentley (the Eagles were Hot on his trail) was unfortunately injured and will not be with the Browns this year. While I'm sorry to hear about their loss, the Eagles are breathing a sigh of relief on that one.
But somehow, you never know how any particular player "would have" or "could have" turned out if they had come to your team. Simply because a player is injured on one team does not mean that they would have been injured on your team ...unless that person had an injury was Not completely healed and could have been reinjured regardless of where he played. Also, even though a player flops on another team, or is non-effective, doesn't necessarily translate into not being the opposite in another Playbook situation on another team.
Retrospectively, are there any players that the Cowboys released, let go, or otherwise are not employed as a Cowboys player, that has gone to another team and excelled? For me, that one Player that we released came back and has become a beast ...that's Trotter.
Any comments/thoughts...
