Cowboys not done at linebacker

[Stash]

Given the injuries and retirement at linebacker, as well as Sean Lee continuing to work his way back, the Cowboys apparently worked out several linebackers this morning.

I would think that they're likely to sign at least one, for practice reps if nothing else.

 

[Teague31]

Read somewhere they worked out 5 LB's this morning

It's probably not a stretch to say that extends to more postions than just LB.

Should not be a surprise for anyone with our rash of injury's and retirements

 

[AsthmaField]

Is there a high first round draft pick LB who retired even though he's very young, and now he wants a chance to play for Dallas? Maybe for a 6th round pick?

If so, we need to bring him in.

It worked like a charm last time.

Mosley didn't retire on Baltimore, did he?

 

[AsthmaField]

Seriously, wasn't Baltimore looking at maybe trading Arthur Brown last year?

I didn't keep up with him (or Baltimore) at all last season. I wonder if they're still looking to move him?

I wouldn't give up much but I did like him coming out of Kansas State.

I just heard that Matt Elam is out for the year with them, so maybe they need a safety?

Who were they? Sounds a lot like last week where they had some in along with Ashlee Palmer.

Agreed. Instead of looking at it like hey we need another linebacker, we should look at it as an opportunity to add another cornerback.

Hitchens- Brinkley- SLee
DWilson- RMcClain- Gachkar
Wilber- KSmith- CLawrence

they can always churn the bottom, but the top 6 is pretty solid

I want to see more brought in to replace Weeden too.

I agree
We need warm bodies for camp but barring other injuries I don't think we are looking for starter quality players
If one is there and affordable that's great but don't see us trading for a LB at all

Moore?

 

[conner01]

I'd rather see Vaughn step up and earns his spot on the roster
Don't see any vet coming in at QB
But to me Vaughn is the guy you want to replace Weeden on the depth chart since I don't think anyone is going to replace him on the roster unless Vaughn shows he can be the backup QB
Anyone wanting Weeden off this team need look no farther than Vaughn because unless he can earn the backup spot Weeden is not going anywhere

I really wish the FO could have found a way to keep Carter. If he could've given us anything close to what he gave us last season, with a better overall defensive squad, it would've been special.

 

[jobberone]

Agreed. Instead of looking at it like hey we need another linebacker, we should look at it as an opportunity to add another cornerback.

We need another CB to compete. I'd like another LB to compete and just in case.

Our QB2 and QB3 frightens me. Frightens me aaalllloootttt

That whole "Weeden is not going anywhere" part of you posts bring me to tears just like when I learned Rowdy Roddy Piper died. Except Roddy had skills.

So do a lot of people but we were smart for letting him walk at that price.
