News: Cowboys land millions in rollover cap savings from 2018 season

[JonesBoys]

I said that will be their main focus and until its all worked out they wont plan any new FAs..

Since most of those players are under contract except for Lawrence they certainly have time to work those out. Come March impact free agents won’t last long. If there is one or two that significantly fills a need and makes the team much.better then they need to pounce. They have the money.

I’m pretty sure Earl Thomas is going to be a Cowboy.

Most have been right about the Cowboys and FA. They aren't very good at it and frankly, it's hurt them when they have built a nice corps through the draft and could have supplemented it with some key FAs (not even top of the barrel, high priced ones).

I mean look at their FA list since 2014:

2014

Melton - ehhh
Mincey - pretty good
McClain - pretty good
Weeden - bad
Spillman - bad
Watson - bad
Anderson - bad
Crawford - ehhh

2015

McFadden - pretty good
Collins - ehhh
Hardy - LOL
Rivers - bad
Brinkley - bad
Gachkar - ehhh

2016

Morris - pretty good
Thornton - bad
Mayowa - ehhh

2017

Moore - bad
Paea - bad
Carroll - bad

2018

Olawale - ehhh
Hurns - ehhhh
Thomas - ehhhh
Ealy - bad
Thompson - bad
Fleming - ehhh
Martin - bad

That's 5 years of free agency and they signed a small handful of decent to solid players, and mostly mediocre to bad other players.

I am not sure how anyone can sit here and think that A) Cowboys fans are unreasonable in their assessment of how the Cowboys use FA B) that the Cowboys do a good job in FA.

YOU NAILED IT!

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

this is the year for D linemen in the draft

We need at least 2 then but if they use the 2nd pick on Smith at TE, then we need to get one in FA.

And don’t think the Cowboys haven’t noticed the attitude of Gurley since he signed.

His problem has been his knee, not his attitude.

 

[Rockport]

His problem has been his knee, not his attitude.

Yeah that’s his excuse.

 

[cern]

Yeah that’s his excuse.

He's made no excuse. All I see is your incessant need to complain.

 

[ThatJerryKid]

I would sign all of our key FA and Landon Collins. Then have another solid draft and you got something here. But I’m sure folks on here would still find something to complain about...

 

[Cowpolk]

the rams made a mega deal for gurley after his third season. don't think zeke hasn't noticed. especially after all his touches last season. there's always something.

Jerry will make Zeke a very rich young man ya bout bank on it

 

[madcow74]

rumor they sign and trade Foles to Jacksonville and get Fournette..uh oh

why wouldnt the jaguars just sign him?

 

[StarBoyz83]

Personally it bugs me we rolled over 12m

We should have spent that money on improving a Playoff team... don't tell me we had 0 needs

Maybe trade for a stud DT when Irving went AWOL

We have 75m in easy Cap Space this year and need to spend some money on FS, DT and TE

We need all 3 but we wont sign any.

Yeah, a real TE would have been nice.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

We like our blokes.

Isn't he more of a strong safety? I'd prefer a ball hawk with insane cover skills.

 

[madcow74]

we have to get some beasts on the o-line via draft or free agent...smith is amazing but you can tell he is worn down. frederick out. martin holding strong.

dak needs 2 more seconds than everyone else and his line cant do that.

and go get gronk who might have 1 more year left if he decides to

 

[Beast_from_East]

Did you guys forget that Stephen handles the free agents now days and he is cheap as hell?

He literally said on the radio the other day that free agency is for teams that cant draft.

There will be no big free agent signings fellas, just castoffs and rejects from other teams on the cheap.

Some will say "good, lets pay our own". I dont disagree with this argument, but our own players have not exactly got the job done.

Just saying we might need to add some more talent, especially when coaching is such a liability.

 

[CCBoy]

No news here, we’ve know this for months.

The combine is just around the corner and then free agency. Not long to go...and not everyone has a strong perspective.

The article was actually a pretty good and informative one for a basis of understanding. It went into detail.

 

[dallasdave]

Jerry will make Zeke a very rich young man ya bout bank on it

And
Zeke earned it

 

[AmericanCowboy]

There are so many good safety’s out there this free agency no way we can let it go again!

 

[blueblood70]

why wouldnt the jaguars just sign him?

the eagles have chance to FT him and then trade him, its not over yet with Foles from what I understand but when I posted that Foles hadn't bought himself out.. I think Foles goes to Washington and finds a way to get us and the eagles back twice a year LOL
