cowboys showing interest in Antoine Bethea restricted FS

Antoine Bethea-DB- Colts Mar. 5 - 3:41 pm et


Scout.com reports that the Giants, Commanders, and Cowboys are showing interest in restricted free agent FS Antoine Bethea.

The Colts gave Bethea a first-round tender, making the cost prohibitive for Washington in particular if it planned to sign him to an offer sheet. The sides could potentially work out a deal for less than the round-one compensation level, but Indianapolis certainly won't give up Bethea on the cheap.

Easy, Slate...

ehh, why not. Assosiate him with 3 teams needing a safety and make one of them the Cowboys. It's sure to lure some subscriptions.

intriguing development

yeah but what would he cost us in a draft pick, i dont want to lose our top 3 draft picks for sure;

 

[Rampage]

this is the #1 guy i'd want at free safety.

I'd rather take Atogwe. No pick conpensation, besides, the rams aren't too hot on him.

Bethea is legit, but parting with our 1st just isn't an option. We need OL in the 1st.

not really a ballhawk, but he's more then capable of taking over for Hamlin. This mans nuts, always around the ball. Doesn't he have like 2 100 tackle seasons? For a FS that's incredible.

Bethea is better than Nate Allen.

Even if there's a better safety in the draft he's not going to come in and play at a probowl level soon and we know Wade doesn't like to start rooks. Our window of winning is now.

Bethea is 25 years old. two time probowler. Ballhawk!. SB ring.

Pass. Give me a healing (non compensation) Atogwe.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Seriously, you guys don't think we could find a Bethea in the draft? He was a freaking 6th round pick from Howard.

Fiiiinaly

 

[dallasfaniac]

Give me a free free safety.

you think we could find another Miles Austin in the draft? He was a freaking UDFA from Monmouth.

 

[SLATEmosphere]

Ya, I mean we could always get another Miles Austin from Monmouth. Undrafted.

Super easy.

nah, I think we could get a Tom Brady from Michigan in the 6th. Ya, that seems easier.

I'm not saying it's going to be easy, but let's not act like he was a top 5 pick.

Exactly. How do we know Mike Hamlin couldn't do what he does?

I'm just not a fan of spending big picks or dollars on safeties. Keep those for LTs, passrushers, corners, or (of course), QBs.

 

[InmanRoshi]

I'm not saying it's going to be easy, but let's not act like he was a top 5 pick.

No, just a 25 year old who's already been to two Pro Bowls.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

No, just a 25 year old who's already been to two Pro Bowls.

So there's noone in this draft that is a similar type of player?

Oh wait. Nate Allen.

I dont care where he was taken, or even if he was drafted, if he is a player he is a player and just make sure he is worth whatever you pay for him................
