Signed by Cowboys Cowboys sign DT Gerald McCoy

[plymkr]

Progress stopper for Trysten Hill. Lol, someone had to say it.

Meh...I would have preferred a younger ascending player like Andrew Billings who likely would’ve been cheaper.

It will be interesting to see the contract details. Hopefully this doesn’t lower the comp pick for Byron Jones from a 3rd to a 4th or cancel out the pick for Randall Cobb.

Him and Billings don’t play the same position. They can have both if they want.

 

[Parcells4Life]

This is the most decent signing we’ve had in years.

Cobb was pretty decent last year.

Is McCoy a 3T

He is now.

 

[buybuydandavis]

I wouldn't expect that much actually. He's 32 and on the decline.

But a solid starter at RDT, and we needed one.

 

[buybuydandavis]

He's not better than Collins at this stage. He's maybe on par but with the arrow down. Collins is young enough to out play him this year.

The more I think about this move I get an urge to switch teams.

PFF rated McCoy higher last year. Across the board tackle/rush statistics a little higher too.

But Collins was probably held back by not having Woods next to him in 6 games.

Pretty comparable players, and you're right about the arrows on both. Still, we filled a big hole. I still expect DT high in the draft.

This guy was a ghost last year

Progress stopper for Trysten Hill. Lol, someone had to say it.

It's a damn shame that the team has to operate as though the 2nd round pick from just last year does not even exist. I'd be pleasantly surprised if he makes the roster out of training camp.

Tank, McCoy, Clowney and Gregory would be a nasty front.

definitely, I've been wishing Clowney here for 2 years, wanted McCoy here last season

Cowboys Zone at its finest. Praise the Ravens for getting Campbell who is two years older and Baltimore gave up a draft pick. The Cowboys sign McCoy and he sucks. McCoy is light years better then any defensive tackle we had in the last few years.

 

[Dre11]

Thanks to all who didn’t panic and act like the sky was falling after not even 48 hours of FA

I didn't panic but this is still an average signing and I like it, but it won't bring those guys off the ledge.

 

[Dre11]

So all that freaking out over nothing.

oh they'll still freak out. Although it's a decent signing, its still a budget signing. I don't panic, but even I'd like a big play making signing.

 

[Dre11]

Is McCoy a 3T

I think he can flex to the 1T in the under front and 3t in base 4-3.

 

[Star Guard_31]

Him and Billings don’t play the same position. They can have both if they want.

I get that Billings is a 1 or 0 tech and McCoy plays the 3. It doesn’t change my opinion at all.

Run defense has been the front seven’s Achilles heel the past two years. Billings would do more to address that, he’s just entering his prime, and likely cheaper.

 

[Dextor Clinkscales]

Our D-line is stacked.

"Stacked?" Come on, man. McCoy is 32, Woods is average and Gregory didn't even play last year and has been a question mark ever since he came in the league. Dallas has exactly one above average D lineman. We need help here desperately. Philly's DL is miles better. Love to see Kinlaw or Espenosa added.

 

[Dak_Attack_09]

Someone on the d line. Yes! I love it .

Still need to draft Kinlaw if he fails to 17.

 

[Star Guard_31]

Cowboys Zone at its finest. Praise the Ravens for getting Campbell who is two years older and Baltimore gave up a draft pick. The Cowboys sign McCoy and he sucks. McCoy is light years better then any defensive tackle we had in the last few years.

Baltimore gave up a late round draft pick for a guy who was already under contract and won’t nullify a comp pick.

I hope McCoy is light years better than any DT we’ve had, because he very well could have turned the 3rd round comp pick that we would’ve got for Byron Jones into a 4th round pick.

 

[chagus]

This was a slick move by the FO. Very impressed by this signing.

 

[Gaede]

Well, there's one starter taken care of. Don't how good he is anymore, but at least he fills a need.

 

[Rayman70]

STILL NEED ANOTHER DT..Now we likely will draft a guy.
