Just to recap this offseason:
1. Jerry runs his mouth off and says he'll "do right" by Romo... there is NO trade market for Romo. We will release him for nothing.
2. We lose LG who started most of year
3. We lose our starting RT, and have signed no one to replace yet
4. We lose first and second string SS, and have signed no one yet
5. We are poised to lost both starting CBs, and have signed only Nolan Carroll
6. Our star RB likely will be suspended for unauthorized touching caught on video (no need for a cooperative witness)
7. Report that Jaylon Smith's nerve has not regenerated and he'll have to play with a brace
8. We are picking at 28, not at 4, so the draft is not a panacea
Do we really need to question whether we have taken a step back?
It is not that bad.
1. - we may still get something because texans screwed up.
2. collins may be as good
3. mistake - agreed and they could have easily got a veteran RT better than Free - but they may think Cleary is ok. green is entirely unreliable
4. heath can play SS - you will need depth along with frazier
5. i would have prefer a better FA CB - and we did have the $ to do it
6. he is being a child and a suspension may do him good in the long term
7. jaylon is recovering - how well no one knows. we will have to wait and see
8. true, but we will at least get 1 player may be 2 from the draft to fill needs. question is if it will DE, CB, SS or RT
the front office knowingly risked 2017 (and 2018) with the strategy they took.
they want to be cheap well we are stuck with it.
personal preference:
instead of going to war half-pregnant, just sign a competent RT and dont sign any defense/WR FAs at all.
suck this year and get a war daddy in the draft after 2017.
only sign a decent RT to protect our young franchise QB.
this way, we could be 6-10 instead of 12-4 but with no chance to beat the patriots.
