Cowboys Tender Leary & Heath

[DandyDon52]

Heath is ok, and he knows what to do on ST and when he plays in the games.

 

[ElGatoGrande]

Thanks, and the depth remains good for OL.

Except at right (swing) tackle,,, we need a good one.

I'd keep Leary, good backups are hard to find.

 

[Toruk_Makto]

I was not being serious. Signing someone to 1% of the salary cap doesn't move the needle at all.

You need to check your sarcasm meter. It needs calibration.

Cheers.

So, would you rather have Leary or a 2nd round pick?

Great question. He is solid O-Line Depth, but I think I'd go with the 2nd rounder

 

[guag]

Dude relax. They'll likely work out a long term deal with Heath.

Despite all the hate he is a good special teams player and subs in on some specialty packages where he hasn't proven to be the liability fans point to all because of his rookie season struggles.

Also the offseason just started...what exactly "stinks" about it. Free agency hasn't even opened for goodness sakes.

 

[Vinnie2u]

Good move by the FO.. We've been lucky the last few years not many Oline injuries. If someone goes down you can plug Leary right in.. I approve.

Could Leary move to RT to push Free? He was a tackle in college.

 

[plymkr]

No the 2 CBs we signed late in the year both had an INT.

Man, I'm glad we got Heath locked up cuz if we lose him we have lost 25% of our DB interceptions.

Can't lose these types of playmakers on defense and expect to compete. Good job Jerry.

He's too "heavy-footed" IMO. He's the "text-book" guard. I don't see him having enough quickness to handle the RT spot.

I just want our best five guys on the field at the same time if possible. Maybe Martin should kick outside

Free had a heck of the 2nd half-- he did really, really well.

Yeah, we quite often hear about "Putting the best 5 guys on the field" but the facts are each position has different skill-set needs that not every offensive lineman can fill.

 

[Nightman]

These tenders aren't guaranteed. If no other team makes an offer by April 24th DAL can negotiate these salaries down or waive them outright.

 

[Joe Realist]

Good. I like Leary and don't want him to go to a rival like Eagles or Giants.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

I think Collins would be a better choice to move to RT.

I agree. I like Free. He's put solid back to back seasons. The question could be: Is Martin a better RT that Free? If that's the case then there's a spot for Leary at RG. Then Free could be the swing tackle.

CGreen should be the swing OT.

Third round picks are expected to perform.

Most of you guys are fools.....If Collins or Martin were to go down or just for arguments sake they both did who exactly fills in? Bernadeau? give me a break....we need all the depth we can get.

Nick Martin in the third He can take over the interior line swing C/G.

I would consider Lael to RT to compete with Free, who hopefully ends up the swing T or you let him go and roll with Chaz Green as the other tackle.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

What's your best possible 5 in the starting lineup?

Free, Martin, Frederick, Collins, Smith

or

Collins, Martin, Frederick, Leary, Smith

or

Martin, Leary, Frederick, Collins, Smith

why get rid of someone who is proven? so you will take a 2nd and then turn around and have to go shopping in the draft for his replacement?
