DC.com: Which Free Agency Addition Helps Most?

[waving monkey]

FRISCO, Texas – As of Tuesday, the Cowboys have watched nine of their own free agents join other teams, but they’ve also signed nine players – including six returning from last year’s 13-3 roster. The group features three free-agent newcomers: cornerback Nolan Carroll, defensive tackle Stephen Paea and defensive end Damontre Moore.

The DallasCowboys.com staff discusses which addition – either a new signing or a re-signing – helps the roster most at this point in the offseason, with free agency still underway and the draft about six weeks away:

Rob Phillips: Terrance Williams’ return was a bit of a surprise, at least to me. I thought his market value might be too much for the Cowboys’ limited cap space, but he’s back for a reported $17 million over four years – and that’s good news for Dak Prescott. As explosive and efficient as this offense was last season, let’s remember that Prescott is still a young quarterback in this league who needs help around him. Williams is a capable receiver opposite Dez Bryant and an underrated blocker in the run game. The other thing his return does is eliminate wide receiver as perhaps an early-round necessity with defense – particularly pass rush and secondary help – obvious needs given the free-agent departures of so many players on that side of the ball.

Yea he played his best under Marinelli. Believe he could be a great addition

Paea is the closest thing to a non JAG. So I say him.

this is a non issue. we dont know if any. as much as i didnt care for some of the jags, as a whole our main issue wasnt what we added or lost yet, its still "can we get to the qb" no guy has proven that yet.

When answering these questions, first you need facts, i know i know, in the world of sports, it revolves around speculation, because of two reasons, facts play themselves out and makes most look bad, and two, its boring, because its going to rely on many factors that speculation miss. Will these players work well in this system, play well under Rod now? Even if you did play for him on another team that doesnt translate that you will do the same here. To many questions left in the air and we dont know how these guys are going to react. In fact one reason why you cant even answer this question, how does it round out after the draft.

Good question, bad timing.

I'm not sure any of them really helps, if it means allowing our team to improve. I think we mostly exchanged old BandAids for different ones.

Cooper can probably have the biggest impact. If he plays well he can shake up the whole O-line order. Moore also has a lot of potential but hopefully we won't have to rely on him.
