Twitter: DE Kony Ealy to Visit Cowboys

[Shuff]

He just needs that good old Pat on the Butt by Jason to get him going

Here a clap, there a clap, everywhere a clap, clap, clap.........

could be. I just find it interesting because of the Dez situation and the earl Thomas situation. Never know what draft weekend can bring.

The Thomas thing is fluid because Seattle needs draft picks in a bad way. Not certain the Bryant thing ever materializes.

Good.

They need to be doing everything they can with the defensive line.

Stephen Jones mentioned last night to bill jones in an interview that they are still looking at mentioned trades as an option still. Thought that was interesting.

IMO if you can have a rotation of 8 DL that can all play, you can take over a game, and if they sign Ealy to a reasvonable deal then I think you have six nice DL with Lawrence, Irving, Crawford, Collins, Taco and Ealy.

Kony...Bony

Wouldn’t be upset with signing. Just depth. Be signing for cheap.

One thing I give Marinelli credit for is being a helluva position coach. If anyone can draw talent out of a talented player on the DL, Marinelli can.

That's what I was gonna say. Maranelli has his flaws....I have my problems with him as our DC....but as a defensive line coach? He couldn't be in better hands. I wouldn't even be excited about this signing if Maranelli wasn't here.

based on affordability, this could be a good pick. and more competition for the potentially returning randy Gregory. it's looking like bpa all the way in the upcoming draft.

Smells a bit like the Nolan Carroll situation. We seemingly are always linked to this guy, finally get him and, at this point, I am not sure he's any good anymore. But if he's real cheap (read, don't sign a long term deal for him like they did with Carroll), he's worth a camp looksee.

 

[cowboy_ron]

Wasn't he a high first rounder coming out of college? I wonder how he fell from grace so much.

Nothing longer than 4 years and keep the guaranteed money under 50 mil.

KD Drummond's USA Today post on this says it would cancel out the comp pick we get for Hitchens. I don't get that, how would that happen unless we gave Ealy some ridiculous salary?

I would like the move it if it was a vet minimum deal with incentives, let him compete at LDE with Taco and Crawford.

If they signed Ealy that would be 4 FAs signed and 4 FAs lost..... the salaries wouldn't matter

They could wait until after May 12th and sign him with no Comp penalty

How is it BPA when dallas doesn't have a mlb or a fs? Still might need a guard or tackle also.

He was a 2nd rounder. Taken with the 60th pick. We traded up in the same draft to get Demarcus Lawrence.

That's essentially BPA. Where we are picking.....there are going to be a guard, tackle, linebacker or safety there. Probably add receiver.

Before FA started (looking at FA list) I pegged Kony Ealy as a guy DAL should bring n. Ealy is good veteran competition for Taco Charlton at RDE. If DAL gets Kony then 1st rd Edge rusher, like Landry, goes off DALs board.


1yr/up to 3M w/incentives (750k guaranteed)

Side note:
If Ealy can't be motivated to play for Marinelli then he's close to being out th league.

We weee bound to draft or sign somebody at DE. We are thin at that spot
