Cowboys ink Fabini to address O-line woes
The Cowboys made a second move to improve their offensive line by reaching a three-year, $6 million deal with former Jets left tackle Jason Fabini. Clauses in the contract could grow the deal to $7.5 million over the three years.


Fabini will be moved to right tackle with the Cowboys and fix one of the team's biggest problems last season. The Cowboys had right tackle problems starting in beginning of training camp. They ended up trying Torrin Tucker in the pre-season at right tackle and then went with rookie Rob Petitti for the regular season.


Fabini, a salary cap cut for the Jets, visited the Patriots and was in heavy negotiations with the Bucs but decided to go to the Cowboys. Earlier this week, Dallas added Kyle Kozier, who is expected to help out at guard, to a five-year, $15 million deal.

I like it. Hopefully he can start while Pettiti learns the position.

They got Fabini cheaper than Kosier.

Well, I wanted Runyan. But I'm happy with Fabini. As long as he's recovered from that injury (whatever it was) then I think he'll make a very nice addition to our line. He was, after all, the starting right tackle for the Jets when Curtis Martin led the league in rushing. So, there's evidence that says he can get the job done.

Nice signing, guys. It's been a good day for the 'boys...


















Peace and Love

Very reasonable money- wow. That is a great signing. I feel a lot better about our team right now. This guy is a decent LT and will be a good RT. He gives us insurance in case of aninjury to Flo and if a guy like Petitti makes a big jump in his game at whatever point, he's not making that much that he couldn't be kept as depth. But clearly he's the starter at RT as of this moment. Solid move.

I'm encouraged that we've added more solid players to the O-line, but I'm holding my breath. I don't want us to welcome cancer to our team, and pay him millions to ruin us. The Cowboys are going in the right direction if they resign Keyshawn or get a strong WR in the draft, and if they can plug a few more holes so they don't have to draft for need. We'll see.

It's been a good day so far.
