Cowboys 1 of 4 teams with interest in Huff

[Silver N Blue]

The Ravens, Packers, Cowboys, and Titans have reportedly all reached out to free agent DB Michael Huff since his March 12 release.

Baltimore may be particularly interested in Huff; the Ravens currently have no viable Week 1 starting safeties on their roster and GM Ozzie Newsome loved Huff coming out of Texas in 2006. Huff turned 30 years old earlier this month. Mar 18 - 5:39 PM

He's nothing special but would be an upgrade vs what they have now.

He can't be looking at much more than vet minimum + incentives.

I think his price will be higher than Dallas is willing to pay. I think it's more likely that we end up with a vet like Ronde Barber.

I would be a little shocked if Barber leaves TB at this point in his career/understand he is a FA but would be a shocked if it happens..happy but shocked..As far as Huff agree with your point there but he may want to come home to TX. Either way would be a pleasant suprise if either signed here.

If he still feels he can play, Barber could easily end up doing what a lot of players do, finishing their careers elsewhere. Emmitt did it, Dorsett did it, Aikman almost did it, etc.

Hope if that happens, Barber has more left than those players did.

TB signed Goldson to play FS, so I don't see him going back there.

I think we look elsewhere then huff. Probably just putting our name in there to drum up interest.

Bucs GM Mark Dominik confirmed that the team wants free agent FS Ronde Barber back for a 17th NFL season.

Barber, 38 in April, is still an effective free safety and slot corner, so the Bucs would be silly to not take him back. "Coach (Greg) Schiano and I met with Ronde this past week and expressed our desire for him to return to play another season with the Buccaneers," said Dominik in a team-website statement. "He asked us for some time to make his decision and we certainly respect that." Mar 9 - 2:13 PM

I would take either one to teach but if we are looking for a 2-5 year player then Huff would be the way to go if it was only between those two. Both would bring a presence to the secondary not seen in quite some time.

He's an average player, but he'd be a good filler until the long-term solution is found.

 

[elcowboi]

The only way I would get a safety over 30 at this point is if I knew I was going to draft a safety in the first two rounds. The team is getting younger and they need to continue that trend imo.

LOLL, sounds like too many players on this team.... guess he will fit right in then...

 

[Bowdown27]

If the team truly believes in Matt Johnson, huff is our solution for a short term to let Johnson become our starter after watching others

 

[windward]

Huff would give us similar production to Sensabaugh IMO. For the right priced be ok but as a backup. We need to address S in the draft. Same goes if we sign Ronde.

He's worth more than that. I have no clue how they'd fit him onto the roster with no cap space, but I think he'd fit our defense very well because of his speed.

I'm probably underestimating his market, but I don't believe by much. He's 30 years old, not a good tackler, had some recent injury problems (including concussions), widely been an underachiever in his career, and he's actually been playing more cornerback than safety in recent years. I don't know why anyone would break the bank for Huff on a multi-year deal with lots of guaranteed money when you can get highly accomplished veteran safeties like Charles Woodson, Ed Reed, Bernard Pollard, Kherry Rhodes, Quintin Mickell on cheap short term deals as 1-2 year bridge players. The main thing going for Huff is he's kind of a jack of all trades .. he can play some free safety, nickel corner and even cornerback in a pinch, so he can wear a lot of different hats. The problem is he doesn't do any of them exceptionally well.

He did nothing but watch for an entire season last year...
