All have said one thing or another that this offseason the Cowboys will make a big splash. I think TO mentioned to Dawkins that it's bigger than the Pats did last year. Which in my opinion would be hard to top. (Moss, Welker, Stallworth, Thomas). But here's my thought of what could be WOW.

1 - Let Flozell walk, saves us CAP money by not tagging him

2- Franchise Hamlin - costs roughly 5 million

3- Trade #28 and next years 3rd to Detriot for Roy Williams or #28 and Carp for Chad Johnson (I think Deion is leaning this way)

4 - big FA splash will be either Trufant or Samuel (this means next year Newman walks)

5 - #22 - draft Felix Jones

6 - 2nd round pick - CB

1,4,5 = no
2,3= maybe
6 dont care

Trufant and Sameul are no better then newman is, dont go off of what you see on sports center

Newman is two years older than Trufant and Samuel. And he's better than both.

Newman isn't THAT great and he will not be worth what he gets paid. I would let him walk and so will the Cowboys.

Trufant and Samuel or not less of a CB than Newman. I think Newman is a top 5 CB but so are the other two. Folks around here say that even though Newman is 30 his body doesn't have the wear and tear of 30. I say crap on that, 30 is 30 and Newman is already showing signs of wear and tear. So do you pay Trufant/Samuel 80 million this year or Newman 80 million next year when he will be 31, so at 36 he is still drawing CB money.

I've been saying this all along. But apparently nobody wants to believe it around here, but it makes a helluva lot more sense than paying Newman 80 million when he's 31 years old.

Oh, and getting back to the topic at hand........

Sign Trufant or Samuel
Give both firsts to the raiders for McFadden
A 2nd and a 3rd (or player) to Detroit for RW

Yes, it is fantasyland, but it would certainly make me say WOW.

I hate that phrase "Shut down corner". There has only been one in the history of the NFL. Just one. Deion.

It is the most overused phrase in football. And Newman is very good, but he's not even close to Deions level.

That's damn bold for sure! 3 great players and yes it won't happen, but talk about shocking the NFL world.

Champ isn't one? and i find it very VERY hard to believe in the 70+ years of the NFL (even pre-merg) there has only been 1 shut down corner

You did see how our secondary improved when he came back in, right? You did see how the secondary dropped off when he was injured, right? Give me a break.

Newman will be 30 years old before the first snap of the upcoming season. When he gets a new deal he will be months away from 31. As was evident in the past season, he has already started to break down physically. Let someone else waste their cap space.

Dude, what is up with your avatar?

That is just sick, you need to select a new avatar before posters around here start getting the wrong idea about you.

Just an FYI to help you out dude.

Have to love all the doofus types that make broad claims about players breaking down and how they are not all that good. I guess they are good for a laugh= nothing else.

I agree. I know that image goes with your name, but nobody wants to see that...it is a sick injury and shouldn't be promoted.

Thanks for your help, but why should I care what people think?

Broad claim? He did break down last season. It's called a fact.

I know it's a sick injury. I tore both of mine by the age of 17. No one has ever complained about the avatar (for nearly 4 years).

It is my belief that it would be a waste of money to sign him to a 6 or 7 year deal, which is what he will want. He is nearly 30 years old. It's called logic. Yes I'm a Cowboys fan, but I'm not a homer.

Champ is the most overrated player in the nfl in my opinion.

And nope, just deion. Find another guy who took half the field and told the other 10 guys to get the rest.
