Twitter: Cowboys to sign Cameron Fleming

[Section446]

Move Collins back to OG and we're back to a good OL.

My two cents. Fleming came here to start. New England lost their OTs. I don’t think he signs here as a swing tackle

I doubt very much that teams promise mid-level free agents a specific role.

Not sure what's happening with the DBs out there.

Some good ones still around.

Could be looking for too much money. A team may not be willing to meet a Tre Bostons price right now

 

[TheCoolFan]

Good. No high round LG in the draft then

 

[Captain43Crash]

Bang.

That just happened.

Suck on it, Alex.

It’s a done deal?

 

[KingintheNorth]

Back-to-back good signings. I would like it even more if this was for a few years versus a 1-year deal. Okay gambling on Fleming since he's only 25. Anyone know the contract length and numbers yet?

 

[Nightman]

Agree, but did we over pay? What is his contract?

Don't care

We have the money......I want players not accountants

Nice. Now it’s interesting to see what they do. Is Fleming the swing tackle, are they moving Collins back to LG, or will they see how the draft goes and make the moves at that point?

I don't think Dallas will know for sure until after the draft. With our current group, obviously Collins would move to guard and Fleming would start at right tackle. If we get an interior line player early, though, Fleming could be kicked to swing tackle. Keeps the options open, but also keeps Dallas from absolutely having to spend an early pick on OL.

I’d still like to take a run at Bowman for MIKE.

Smith Collins Frederick Martin Fleming

Your 2018 starting offensive line.

 

[armadillooutlaw]

Good. A *quality* vet at a position of big need.
These are the types of moves they need to make. Now, let's get a LB vet like Bowman, a decent G and a quality (doesn't have to be a Pro Bowler but a good player) 1T.
At that point we can go into the Draft sitting pretty good.

What does it mean for Will Hernandez?

I'm sure Cameron Fleming is expecting to at least challenge for a starting job, but it will be very telling to see the contract numbers.

He didn't appear to have a very active free agent market.

This moves gives us options. If getting our five best OL on the field together warrants moving La'el Collins back to LG, so be it.

If he remains our best RT with Fleming the favorite to become the swing tackle over Chaz Green, that's fine, too.

Add a veteran interior OL and a safety and we can start focusing on the draft.

Just think about all the ledge jumping and crying the past few weeks. Now all the happiness, the next step comes if these players don’t pan out, all the “this front office sucks,is dumb,needs to go”...lol

 

[Risen Star]

It’s a done deal?

Well, it's not officially signed but the sources are solid.

 

[Sydla]

Means hopefully they won’t blow their first round pick on an OL

Too late. You resigned as a fan earlier. You can't come back now when things are this good.

Last year was not good. And you'll have years like that.

The difference is last year's mistakes don't cripple your salary cap situation.

Well, I consider Hurns and Fleming to be steps up from what we did in free agency last year. It seemed to me that last year we were just looking for temporary bandages (Carroll, Paea, Blanton) while this year we're adding young talent that could be worth keeping around for a while if they work out. Even Thompson and Thomas are upside players.

Boom. Who is making moves now. We are!!!
