Cowboys sign QB Caleb Hanie

[dallasdave]

4 QB's and counting.

QBs and WRs are allowed to practice on their own right now so they need another arm with Orton a no-show.

And since they had to go to the bother of signing someone to be an arm, I would cut Orton on general principle alone.

 

[Hardline]

Just a camp body that will be among the first cuts.

 

[dallasdave]

He's not related to that Mr. Haney from that TV show Green Acres is he?

I went to high school with him. Had him in a few classes. Was a year younger than me. Good to see he's still sticking around to try and get that pension everyone wants. Had no idea he was still around.

And he really didn't play in the playoffs that much. He was thrown in when Cutler and Orton got hurt in the 2011 NFCG. Maybe a quarter and a half. He came in on a MNF game that season as well.

No way he sticks around to make the team but good for him.

This could be a sign they think Orton is done is trying to play hard ball and get more money (Broaddus was talking about this possibility on Talkin Cowboys today)

 

[Fredd]

in before idiotic "championship" or "super bowl" comments

 

[wiccgypsy1]

Can't believe I'll be the first to say it...CHAMPIONSHIP!!!! J/k. Actually like the signing.

Now we just need to use our first 4 picks of the Draft on te's and were set.

Yep. Because this signing was really made with how to make us more of a contender in mind.

 

[Denim Chicken]

A camp body, but he's probably better than Romo. lol

Boooo

I really wish we wouldn't have let go of Tanney last season.

I also think giving Vince Young a call wouldn't be a bad idea if he is still available. He played well for the Packers in preseason last year. He might make a good backup now.

Dallas didn't just let go of Tanney last season. The Browns signed him off of the practice squad. Due to the numerous injuries on the team, Dallas didn't have room to sign Tanney to their own 53 man roster in order to keep him.

Vince Young? He actually did not play well in the pre-season last year. He was not on a roster in either 2012 or 2013. Bad QBs don't get better sitting at home for two straight years. It would be a bad idea.

Per Calvin Watkins - Source: Cowboys signed Caleb Hanie to a 1-year deal.

Sweet playoffs !!

 

[big dog cowboy]

Orton doesn't show and se sign a QB. What's the big deal?

 

[RonSpringsdaman20]

Nah, I think it's Lee Haney, the former body builder, fifth cousin.

 

[dstovall5]

Well, he can't be worse then the current QBs we have ....

 

[Teague31]

If i remember correctly, the team was high on him coming out and wanted to sign him as a UDFA but Chicago beat us to the punch

 

[Sb or Bust]

Just another sign Jon Gruden is head coach next year. Didn't he carry 5 QBs one year with Bucs.

Somebody had to say it

 

[Supercowboy1986]

wasn't this the guy who backed up cutler and was awesome? isn't this a good thing?

Weeden, your spot ain't safe.
