cowboys showing interest in Antoine Bethea restricted FS

Dallas scout also says that three names to keep in mind are.....

http://dal.scout.com/2/951390.html

The three players who might fill needs in Dallas are Rolle, Coles and Williams, but none merits the money required to reach a contract agreement.


Rolle is the jewel of the newly released players, but will command a contract that likely will be far richer than the Cowboys want to pay. Many believe he’ll get somewhere in the neighborhood of $7-8 million per year; Dallas has four years remaining on a contract with safety Ken Hamlin that pays an average of $6.5 million per season, so the chance owner Jerry Jones would want to go even higher than that for another safety is slim.

Coles spent the 2009 season with the Bengals, and wasn’t ineffective, catching 43 passes for 514 yards and five touchdowns. But he is 32 years old and heading into his 11th season, and while the Cowboys need to improve at the wide receiver position — a need that becomes vital if Miles Austin gets lured away — Coles is not the answer. It’s not like Dallas is in a complete rebuilding situation, so any new receiver doesn’t necessarily have to be young, but Coles isn’t a player who still dominates at his age. If this were Randy Moss, sure … but Coles is no Moss.

Williams was the anchor of the San Diego defensive line for the past 12 years, and is revered as one of the league’s great space-eating nose tackles. Williams was the man in the middle when Wade Phillips was the Chargers’ defensive coordinator, and played alongside defensive end Igor Olshansky, so familiarity is there. But no nose tackle is going to come in and unseat Jay Ratliff as the starter in Dallas, and the idea that Williams would accept a minimum contract to be a backup would not be popular. Plus, he turns 34 in April, and is generously listed at only 348, and played in just one game last season. Dallas could re-sign Junior Siavii for far less money, and probably get a better — or at least healthier — player.

If Miles Austin gets lured away? Total garbage post by the author.

It doesn't say anything about the Cowboys in there.

We aren't giving up a first rounder for Bethea.

Oh - how did that "we have no YAC receivers" thing work out for you last season?

Sure let's deflect the attention away from the dumb statement you just said to something that I never said.

Whatever. Your credibility with me was completely out the window a long time ago.

I was merely giving Joe a hard time over his post, like many people have done here, but I'll let you keep attempting to antagonize me. I actually enjoy it.

Fact: You keep trying to misconstrue my words to make yourself feel better.

Fact: I said none of our WR's are great YAC threats except Miles Austin (this was week 2).

Fact: Bears eat beets. Bears beats Battlestar Galactica.

I wish Dave kept going with that show. TV comedy died when he stopped with that show.

It's very unfortunate the chat room doesn't save transcripts.

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

Romo was an undrafted free agent from Southernwesterneasternorthern Illinois.

You think you can find out of those in the draft too ?
