Cowboys in talks with Eric Winston per Schefter...(C. Hill disputes report Post #60)

[TheSport78]

It cost more to cut Livings than to keep him. I am not sure why everyone on these boards isn't aware of that yet. If someone can beat him out so be it but he stays.

We wouldn't lose more than $1 mil...it's in the 6 figure range.

The guy is a terrible fit in a zone blocking scheme and a terrible football player in general.

I surely hope this is sarcasm. Are you forgetting safety position or DL help? Why would we draft a corner in rd 2 when we already signed an expensive one last year and gave up a 2nd to move up in rd 1 to draft another?

it was sarcasm

but never say never when jerry is running the draft

this was by far the best laugh i had in a month or so thank you

picking Vaccaro at 18 looking good

I'm all for Winston....reason? He's a pretty smart x&o guy...could teach a lot to his rookie guard lining up next to him.

 

[dezb88]

why cut free? he could make a serviceable backup at RT or Guard

Because he is scheduled to make a 7 million dollar salary. That is untenable in a carryover cap league.

 

[conner01]

free has never played guard and parnell is a better priced backup

we need to maximize the potential of every move (FA, draft, staying out of cap hell). If he's willing to take a paycut and play inside (and do it amicably which would / should be determined by Callahan) then i'm all for it

 

[Verdict]

I don't understand all the love for Winston. I don't think he will be much of an upgrade over Free. Paying him doesn't seem to be a very good option. If we do that I think it means that the Cowboys have decided that there is absolutely zero chance of getting one of the big 3 OT's in the draft and may try to draft Armstead in the second.

Hopefully St Louis takes him at 16 and one of those STAR DT's fall into our laps.

Smith - Moore - Bernadeau/Costa - Cooper/Warmack - Winston

“@hitstickmaster2: @BryanBroaddus whats your assessment of Eric Winston?” I am watching him but don't think the team is.

Wet Blanket Broaddus dousing the flames as usual

could happen, hopefully not. safety need > dline need

 

[fffiasco]

Yea Broaddus is saying report is not true and Rosenhaus is pumping smoke.

 

[TheSport78]

Schefter wrong once again.

 

[zrinkill]

:stupid:

 

[Silver N Blue]

AdamSchefter: Cowboys now in talks to sign former Chiefs OT Eric Winston.

[pugilist]

@clarencehilljr Per a cowboys source, team is not in contract talks with Eric Winston. So pump your brakes please.
