News: BTB: Free Agency Focus 2017: If You Could Have One Premium Free Agent, Who Do You Want?

[NewsBot]

If you could have the Cowboys pursue one premium free agent, who would that be?

Once upon a time in an age of no salary caps, the Dallas Cowboys were allowed to go after any free agent they wanted. They made some key signings in the 1990’s that sent them over the hump and into three championships in four seasons. They signed legendary starters like Charles Haley and Deion Sanders. Those days are long gone and the Cowboys have changed their approach.

Throughout last offseason and this one, there has been an outcry for the Dallas Cowboys to go after a difference-maker on defense.

Here’s one choice:

DE Melvin Ingram, 28, 6’2, 265 lbs, Chargers

Now in his fifth season, the defensive end was drafted by the San Diego Chargers with the 18th pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. He was a former linebacker from the University of South Carolina, who led the Gamecocks with 10 sacks in 2011, also tallying 15 tackles for loss, two interceptions, and three defensive touchdowns.

In his rookie campaign, Ingram racked up 18 quarterback pressures which was second on the team. He was able to play in all 16 games that season and starting two of those contests. Though he only had one sack, he managed to have 41 tackles and a forced fumble.

So, we leave the question to you, who would be the one guy you would chase after in free agency and make him a Cowboy?

Ingraham is a decent idea.

 

[ShiningStar]

I dont know, not totally against it, but gotta see what does first. Are we more concerned with the draft of FA. One will set up the other.

 

[JoeKing]

JPP

 

[slomoxn]

JPP

People want to pay JPP the moon. A guy who had 1 more sack than Mayowa and he had Vernon next to him. funny

The only guy worth it. The only one

 

[Bowdown27]

Berry w out a doubt

 

[gmoney112]

Ingram or Berry/Poe. If they re-sign Berry I'd sign Poe in a heartbeat. That guy is a one man wrecking crew, right up the middle.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Sheard then Garcon.

 

[Tabascocat]

Berry, Short, Bouye, JPP, Garcon......in that order

1. E. Berry
2. M. Ingram
3. D. Poe

3. D. Poe

I would love to see Poe next to Collins

Not as keen on Poe and as always price is a concern. Poe is disruptive.

So would I!

Sure, price is going to be a factor, but imagine the big man with our Cowboys...Hush my mouth!!

He could also be our goal line FB and our 2pt play QB... lol
Hey, that could justify the salary!

But seriously, yes, it would be awesome to have Poe next to Collins.
That may put Lee and (gasp!) Jaylon Smith in the Pro Bowl.
Draft an edge rusher and a corner or safety and boom! Championship!

 

[Cebrin]

Berry would look like Barry, without a pass rush. Waste of our cap space. They rank second-to-last in pass-rush pressure percentage. If you can't touch the butt, you're not getting laid. End of story.

That would be disruptive, not what we're trying to do here mate, run along now.
