BTB: 3 Free Agents the Cowboys Could Consider Before the Draft

[ShiningStar]

No reason to. Again, we dont know where JJ wants to go until the draft. the first pick gives us a clue as to what he wants done.

remember who runs this team. So, no point in speculation because we are a franchise who is not in it for , not only the SB but for football anymore.

 

[fivetwos]

These aren’t players that are putting the team over the top.

What’s the longer term plan? Sign vets, win an extra game or two and remain in perpetual mediocrity?

 

[Carson]

A washed cooper is better than everyone not named lamb

Yeah he is. But if you draft Tet or golden are paying money for a WR3?

You can sign and bring back Coop. But you do it after the draft

 

[conner01]

Zero reason to sign any of those before the draft.

No reason to sign another WR, just draft one. We will need another OT and QB at some point. Not likly to draft either with a guy ready to play

We will need a tackle and QB. Can’t imagine Greer being the backup. Not likely we draft a tackle ready to be the swing tackle. We usually sign a vet

Wow. Agree completely. The link should read, 3 guys that should stop playing football.

1). you and others are obsessed over FO being cheap. Fan myth so they can complain.
2) Though may be partly true, but also they signed other players that did effect possible better comp picks.
3) See #2, as this is the furthest thing from the FO minds if they can improve the roster.

They reason they will not is simple. Available roster spots. They currently have around 73 players signed.
They have 9 draft picks, so that is 82. That leaves room for 8 UDFA's, or other FA's, as some players get released after the draft.
Expect a few of our own to be churned.
So they wil use most of those slots for UDFA's. Then bring in street FA's accordingly as the churn the roster during mini camps.

And we have currently 3 projected comp picks for 2026.
We would need to sign a player for about $3 million to offset Turner,at $2.5 million. Then another player fro about $6 million to offset Gholston. There are absolutely ZERO players out there even with $3 million at this point.

they are not as flamboyant as they have been in the past, no. not at all. but they do spend money.

just in the most stupid of places.

3 Reasons why we won't

1) Too cheap
2) Affects Comp picks
3) Did I say it affects the comp picks??

LOL

 

[charron]

None of these guys are needed at this time. I am so disappointed in coopers lack of performance in buffalo he has to be completely washed. The other 2 aren't big upgrades. Hoffman came on strong last year after martin went down, if a killer Guard is sitting in the draft i'd take him but otherwise they should be ok barring injury.

Comp picks are the very first thing on Stephens mind.

 

[chagus]

Uhh.... no.

 

[jazzcat22]

Comp picks are the very first thing on Stephens mind.

Then why did they sign as many FA’s as they did? To offset players lost. And why did they trade away draft picks for a few players?

Once again wrong assumptions by misinformed fans. Or is that misguided.

And, no I am not taking up for the FO. They have their share of many blunders. But concerned over a few comp picks is not one of them.

We only signed 1 FA that will impact the comp calculations in my opinion.

"Considering" isn't action in my book. I need the FO to pull the trigger.

Maybe the Cowboys are not cheap. However if I described how a cheap organization acts it would absolutely match how the Cowboys act on everything involving coaches and players.

The NFL draft is just over a month away, but the job is not finished for the Dallas Cowboys. The roster still needs more. It’s commendable that Dallas has been more active than usual during the early stages of free agency, albeit not for anyone at the top of the free market. Oh well, can’t have it all.

The good thing is that Dallas addressed their running back position with two unspectacular but adequate signings, Miles Sanders and Javonte Williams. The former, Sanders, hinted at perhaps a new identity for the Cowboys offense, focusing on running the football. It’s a good start for now, but the Cowboys must further supplement the roster to head into the draft with open options. Free agency does have a few players Dallas could sign to fortify their roster ahead of the draft.
