Bargain Bin Free Agents

[Stash]

He was never really fast to begin with.

And now he looks like he's running in quicksand.

Bargain guys = Bargain Team. Haven't we had enough bargain guys?

 

[DeaconMoss]

Kam Chancellor might be out in Seattle (heard a blurb on NFL Radio today).

Wouldnt be a fit in the Rod defense....

 

[DeaconMoss]

Maybe. The former Commanders I want, is Keenan Robinson.

Only one I want is Colt McCoy

 

[Floatyworm]

Courtney Upshaw (27)....An interesting prospect. Maybe he goes the Jeremy Mincey route...and becomes a 4-3 DE.

 

[Manwiththeplan]

i would go out and sign 3 top Free Agents . ALL on DEFENSE.

Trumain Johnson CB
Eric Berry S
Oliver Vernon DE
Justin Durant (cheap offer)

and draft Myles Jack @4

I doubt Berry hits the market, jmo

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Kyle Love DT Panthers. Had 3 sacks and 12 TFL playing as a backup 1 tech.

Berry isn't going anywhere.

How many big time free agent signings have actually worked out to the Cowboy's favor?

They are typically overpriced 2nd tier players or declining stars looking to cash in on one more big contract.

You build through the draft. You spend cap money on your good players, the ones that have demonstrated their compatibility with your system.

In free agency you look for value, a bargain based on your NFL scouts ability to find those hidden gems.

The Cowboys should use any cap money to insure their ability to retain the offensive linemen. Sign Fredericks to an extension NOW so they don't have to worry about him testing free agency.

DEN just went all in with an aging QB, spent a bundle in FA and got 2 SB appearances and 1 Lombardi.

They still have a solid squad(a lot of FAs) and should compete next year if Osweiler re-signs at a reasonable rate.

You can do well in FA. It doesn't have to be a complete bust. Just spend wisely.

That "aging quarterback" was the most prolific passer in NFL history, 14 time Pro Bowl and 7 time All Pro. Guys like future Hall of Famer DeMarcus Ware signed on with them after they had just completed back to back 13-3 seasons and a Super Bowl appearance. I doubt the Cowboys would hold the same appeal to guys like that.

You would also have to find guys from teams that were stupid enough to release a guy like Ware.

It's not being stupid...the Broncos have a ton of players that have merited increases in pay. Not minor adjustments at that. DeMarcus is probably wanted deeply, just as when he was with the Cowboys. But $10,000,000 is just that, and when numbers are also accumulating around that, something has to give. Murray was in a similar situation, and much younger in discussion.

I want to keep Smith, Collins, Frederick, and Martin...all, for 10 years. I would absolutely love to add Tunsil on a 'rook' contract this draft.

No to Randle for me. It seemed that whenever Manning was getting picked off, he was the target.

Sounds like the QB's fault.
