Cowboys news 02/13/2017

[ceerrece]

• Todd Archer of ESPN mentions that the Cowboys’ coaching staff are much higher on WR Terrance Williams than many outside the organization would expect. Archer adds that issue for the Cowboys in terms of keeping Williams will be his asking price, as he’ll likely be able to get a better offer from another team.
• Archer expects CB Morris Claiborne to be looking at another one-year deal as a free agent, considering that he’s yet to play a full season in the NFL. Although, Claiborne’s injury history could help his odds of being back in Dallas next year, writes Archer.
• If the Cowboys lose G Ronald Leary in free agency, which many anticipate, Archer says that the Cowboys could try to re-sign G Jonathan Cooper, given that he’s capable of playing both guard and center.
• Should Terrance Williams sign elsewhere, the Cowboys could turn their attention to keeping WR Brice Butler.
• Archer says that Lance Dunbar‘s future with the Cowboys will likely come down to whether they re-sign Darren McFadden.
• The same can be said of S J.J. Wilcox and S Barry Church.
• Archer wouldn’t be surprised if veteran LB Justin Durant contemplated retirement this offseason.

Not complaining about news in February, but nothing shocking.

Guess I'm a tad surprised no mention of Carr. (who I hope leaves)

I'd like to see Williams back but it will cost Dallas one of the safeties or T. McClain.

The only vet over 30 I want back is Church. Dallas has to get younger on defense, especially at safety and CB.

Why keep Butler? I'd rather see a late round rookie WR honestly

I'd rather see what Andy Jones can do.

 

[Risen Star]

Gee, thanks Todd. For all that inside info.

 

[AzorAhai]

Never wanted to re-sign McFadden that bad until I read this.

Gee, thanks Todd. For all that inside info.

I'm still looking for the "news" in there...

you actually hope the one CB who sees the field leaves? im stunned by this and to many, i say some stunning things.

 

[rynochop]

I just dont see many teams beating down Williams door to pay him a lot of money. Bet he's back

I want church back. He just turned 29 btw

Yeah, a lot of Internet GMs would be stuck trying to fill two thirds of the roster with all the cuts they want to make

He gives you good deep speed and athleticism at the 4th WR spot, especially if the coaches think he can improve his hands.

IMO you resign him to compete with Andy Jones and rookies if you can get him for something close to the minimum (which I have to think they can).

Tony's a big fan of is, too. If he leaves, it's likely to the team we trade Romo to.

You're right, I was thinking of Carr.

Yea I hope we find an upgrade over Carr.

It seems they like Andy Jones they went into negotiations pretty quickly with he and Rico
both of whom I expect to see in the running to make the roster

 

[Jkyle]

I just don't see teams paying TWill a bunch of money.
He is a role player WR, and a damn good one.
He's a solid #2, inconsistent but nonetheless reliable for the most part.
He's never injured or an offield headache.
I would prefer signing Garcon over him but his injury history is a little concerning.
He isn't as fast as TWill but he is a better all around receiver.
I do look forward to see how Andy Jones has progressed after a year on the PS.
He was pushing seriously for a roster spot last TC but kind of faded.
