Twitter: Cowboys to sign Cameron Fleming

[Sydla]

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

Oh great. You got it from Fisher, didn’t you?

 

[jnday]

I think I can speak for the rest of the NFL and let's just get this week over with.

Pwned.

How does he compare to Collins? I still want a top guard in the draft to maintain the only strength that this team has.

What does it mean for Will Hernandez?

Nothing.

Cameron Fleming is an OT.

Will Hernandez is a G.

Even adding a veteran G/C before the draft will not preclude selecting Hernandez or any other OL.

 

[CowboyJ70]

Awesome news.

Not to be greedy but a solid LB before the draft would be fantastic

I am greedy!!! Let's get a safety too while we are at it!!

And Collins was RT now possibly being put back into LG?

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

Exactly. This means Collins is going back to guard. No one in the draft is cracking this starting five.

Between Collins, Fleming, and Green, I have no idea what's going on with the G/T spots and if Tyron misses time.

Well the glee club will tell you he's better and that Collins isn't a RT and all that support the team nonsense but he's not. However, Collins can also be a great OG and Fleming is a much better RT than Cooper was at OG last year. So it's an upgrade overall.

Looks like we're drafting Ridley at #19 .

I'd say linebacker and safety are higher priorities at the moment.

Smith Collins Frederick Martin Fleming

Your 2018 starting offensive line.

I like it but we still need depth.

 

[Risen Star]

What does it mean for Will Hernandez?

It means he's going to have to sign here as a free agent down the road if he truly wants to play for the Cowboys.

Or he do the Collins style and go undrafted.

I hope so. I think La'el has the nastiness to excel at the guard position.

 

[Dylan88Wilson]

After all the hell the swing tackle position caused them last year, they rectified it with this signing. We finally have a starting caliber player who can be plugged in for Smith or Collins if needed.

The money will tell us if he was signed as a starter or if he was signed as a swing OT. If he is making anything over 5 million per, he is starting

 

[KingintheNorth]

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

My "resignation" was pending the release of Dez because the team believes Allen Hurns is their #1.

 

[AmericanCowboy]

Would be frustrated if Collins went back to guard after signing that contract. Fleming should be solely for depth as the swing tackle. I have no confidence that Tyron’s back will hold up.

I don’t think Collins is all that great at RT but for some reason we made sure to pay him like the best RT in the league.

 

[Risen Star]

So the starters are in place on offense, IMO, barring a move at WR.


Hurns ....... Smith Collins Frederick Martin Fleming Witten .........Beasley .... Dez
..................................What's his face

........................................Zeke

It's a possibility.

My impression has been that the team wanted to keep LC on the outside.

Maybe that's changed with the addition of new OL coach Paul Alexander.

I didn't think they would move Collins to RT last off-season because I felt he was best inside and they had already drafted Chaz Green to take over RT whenever Doug Free retired. They ended up moving LC and then tried Green inside at LG in order to get their best five OL on the field.

It didn't work and Jonathan Cooper had to step in.

Green has talent, despite the taste left in my mouth after the Atlanta game. I hope he will rebound this year if allowed to focus on only playing tackle. That said, it's hard to see the team counting on this player for anything moving forward given his injury history.
