Best Fit for Six Top Free Agents

[Hawkeye0202]

If this season is all about building for 2025 as many have said, signing a 35+ year-old player is a waste of time ( progress stopper). Give the experience to younger players.

I wouldn't mind it. I think the Front office would like to see the young guys step up but at the same time I don't think they are wanting 2024 to be a bad year. It's a prove it year for the coach and possibly the QB.

Campbell is old, but can provide snaps at a good enough level. Question is how much he wants and how much Dallas wants to give. Sure he's bidding his time waiting for TC to pass by and wait for an injury.

Considering last year he signed for $7 million, I imagine he is asking anywhere from $4-$6 million. Still way out of our price range

If we are serious about winning, at all, we need to sign at least 2 more DTs.
We have Osa and a bunch of question marks.

So if they don't comply with your demands, they aren't serious.

It's a salary cap reset year.

 

[big dog cowboy]

The time to sign Campbell was after 2016 when he was a FA leaving Arizona.

Yea.
I know for Keanu Neal they did a 1 year deal, but 2-3 years of void years to knock down the year 1 cap hit.
By 2025 it's the same impact as if he was signed to a 1 year deal with no voids, but curious if that's something they could do if they plan on having Dak play out at his current cap hit.

He would have ranked third on our team in sacks last year, we can't possibly think we're too good to sign still-productive vets.

You know that’s not how this team thinks lol.

Campbell had 6.5 sacks. So why pay him $6 million?

I can get 2 from Golston, 1 from Fehoko, 2 from Osa and 1 from Carl Davis!

You think defensive tackle are about sacks? Lol

 

[SlammedZero]

Campbell couldn't hurt. Especially on this DLine.

To address the other FAs on that list, I was at least was hoping for a Gilmore return. I thought having him roaming with Diggs and Bland would have been pretty solid.

 

[Creeper]

Campbell doesn't need the money. He is already collecting Social Security.

Seriously, I don't see the point of a old curmudgeon like Campbell at this point. But as always, if he is willing to play for a bag of donuts then why not bring him in and see if he can still play.

 

[Bobhaze]

I can’t see Calais Campbell here. This FO won’t pay what he’s wanting. I guess there’s a chance if no other team signs him by the beginning of the season we could get him for less.

But the absolute first requirement for any FA in Big D is being cheap.

You're saying that like he still hasn't been productive! Even at 76 years old he's been really good still

 

[Bullflop]

Hunter Renfrow might quite possibly become a reasonably productive acquisition for the Cowboys.

Unsure what he'd cost, but he shouldn't be too expensive, even for cheapskates like our Cowboys.

 

[DoomsdayDFense]

I’d still love for them to sign Campbell and Gilmore. Add some security and production.

 

[Carson]

What? You completely missed the point.

The point is Jerry wont spend that money for a defensive end to get sacks when he believes his rotational guys can equal Campbells production.

 

[Hawkeye19]

I don’t see the fit here. Not at DE, and not at DT. Not with the way this FO does business.

Yep. $3 million seems to be our cap for outside FAs this year.
