Cowboys to host FA visits Monday

[Ken]

I’d rather have Zeke back than Ronald Jones

I see the vision for RJ. Short yardage back, still young, with a ring.

Played big in that super bowl too.

Just a little over two years ago.

In that year, he almost had 1k rushing and was 25 of 27 on rushes for less than 3 yards to go for 1st downs.

I think he is a perfect fit.

I'd rather bring Zeke back than sign Ronald Jones, if those are the two options.

They are going to draft a good back.

 

[Cowfan75]

Three failure to launch guys.

A couple dudes that played at USC together and a TCU dude.

Bottom of the barrel stuff there.

They for sure aren't leaving town without contracts, then.

 

[Zordon]

Roland* Jones.

If you understand this inside joke, you are my spirit animal..

 

[rambo2]

The tackle was a 3rd round pick and the running back was the 38th pick in the draft a while back.

That was nice a while back.

 

[ColeBeasley11]

Getting RoJo on a minimum deal would be okay. Chiefs RB room was loaded last year he seems okay as a backup but def we need to draft one still.

Just because they’re not bringing in any big names on Monday doesn’t mean they’re now only going for “roster filler”. They’ve only used half of the $26M cap space they made with all those moves last week. I think there’s one more significant move they have in mind.

Well, I didn't say "only". The discussion was regarding the people coming in, which seemed to make people angry.

That seems up to date. Dallas has $10m right now and will get another $10m when they cut Zeke. Obviously still have to sign the draft pick but they definitely can add someone above the vet min level.

Anybody angry is being silly...kick the tires on anyone that would make the team better and is a good fit, can't always fill starters....however, that being said I don't see anyone in this group worthy of a roster spot at this point, would rather use the draft to fill in the roles they would play

 

[The Quest for Six]

I’d rather just draft someone mid rounds for rb

You can still do that, signing a rb doesn't stop Dallas from drafting one, they're just doing their due diligence and covering all the bases before getting ready for the draft an be in the position of selecting the best player available instead of drafting for need...

 

[Rayman70]

I like jones. Basically insurance if we don’t get bijan or Gibbs aren’t drafted. Kinda how when we drafted zeke after signing alfred morris.

hes a power back thats a nice pass blocker. Hes just 26 as well.

 

[Jfconrow]

I love the FA period, it really tells you where Dallas wants to get better. If I signed with Dallas I’d want guaranteed money, the problem is they probably wouldn’t do that because they want to draft the position you just signed up to play. Dallas has been pretty good at maneuvering the Cap for years. They even work the UDFAs well. They really have an unfair advantage.

 

[noletime95]

He’s a vet body behind Pollard. He’s still only 25 as well. But he’s a guy you sign, go into the draft and if something better is available you easily move on.

But he gives you depth, has won 2 Super Bowl rings and knows how to play in a commitee

I’m very familiar with him, I live in Tampa. Just not a fan, but if it’s a league min deal with no guarantees why not.

 

[Cowboyny]

Gehlken just tweeted, can't link it, that the Cowboys will host 3 free agents Monday. RB Ronald Jones, LB Travin Howard and OL Chuma Edoga

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.c...doga-travin-howard-visited-cowboys-on-monday/

I wrote a post last week that they may sign a veteran running back to cover themselves prior to the draft.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

Rico Dowdle, but the Cowboys never extended an offer to him so he's an unrestricted free agent.

That is interesting...wonder why...I'm sure it would have been a cheap signing. Seemed like they liked him.

 

[Aven8]

Sounds like Camp bodies to me.

 

[Coogiguy03]

Looks like he was hurt most of last year?

Then he's a cowboy

 

[8FOR!3]

Jones is from Dallas and Howard is from Longview.

Edoga played with Jones at USC.

For cheap these dudes may be worth adding. Howard is a fast LB and dominated at TCU…..undersized tho.

They would be good pickups imo. Still want us to draft a RB though. Bijan will go earlier than people think he’s that good

 

[xwalker]

He has won two Super Bowls…

Ronald Jones is done,hard pass.

He is 25 years old. How is he "done" ?

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Fortunately, it isn’t.
