Derek Anderson to Dallas next year???

[jobberone]

Per ESPN (just educated specualtion but seems pretty plausible), it appears that Derek Anderson will hit the FA arena likely next Marchish.

I think he is perfect for us. I don't think he will go to a team as a backup but they should at least ask.

I'd say SF, MN, or ??Miami could be in play so most likely we don't get a chance.

But this is the idea of what kind of QB we need. That is unless they really think Bollinger will be ready.

So is Bollinger going to keep the bus on the road and get to where we want to go or do we need to go out there and get a 'Derek Anderson'?

The title of your thread is misleading...

I don't know. Though he has a season ending injury I think some teams will offer him not only starter money but actually a starting job. And correct me if i'm wrong but if a team picks up Anderson doesn't that team have to give up something in return? I thought I heard about a 2nd or 3rd rounder? No way Cowboys do that.

I don't think so but thanks for sharing.

It depends. I heard he would not be offered a contract although I hardly would take that to the bank. And that he would end up a FA. I didn't look into his contract with Cleveland but took it on faith they knew what they were talking about.

I personally don't think he would want to come to Dallas. I would think he would want to be a starter. My issue with Dallas is if TB and GB can get a reasonably starting ability backup QB or two why can't we. With a SB caliber team it is culpable not to have a decent backup QB.

Derek could easily start in Minnesota

the bottom fell out for him this year because Jamal Lewis isn't as good as he was last year, he'll have AD to help him out in Minny

 

[Eskimo]

I don't think he is tarnished enough to require the rehab of a stint in Dallas as a backup. He will look for a high paying job as a starter - possibly Minnesota, Chicago, Tampa, etc. Lots of other places for him to go.

We need a guy who has the tools but has not had the coaching to succeed. Preferrably someone's QB of the future who has failed as a starter so he has a fair amount of QB experience.

 

[Hypnotoad]

We need a relic as QB to not threaten Romos job safety. I never know with you guys. Around week 4 everyone was sharpening their 'stab romo in the back' knives.

 

[Big Dakota]

In Dallas, NO.

 

[burmafrd]

DA is not that good. Of course one has to admit that with the way Winslow and Edwards dropped passes maybe its not all on DA. He had a real good stretch midseason last year that got him to the Pro Bowl but he faded then has looked pretty lousy this year (but then so has the whole team).
He wants to be a starter so there is NO chance he comes here.

 

[Nors]

Dan Orlovsky is a better backup and fit a budget here

 

[Walker]

I would really like for him to come play for the cowboys as a backup but he could find other places where he can get more $ and be a starter. So unless he falls off the stairs and breaks some bones and wont be ready until after training camp, I don't see him coming to play for the cowboys. Although you never know it could happen, I mean look at the giants WR shooting himself .

 

[Section446]

Very unlikely, but you'd be crazy to say no after watching Johnson.

 

[Aikbach]

Maybe the Jets will be his landing ground, Favre can't play forever.

 

[Dave_in-NC]

Maybe the Jets will be his landing ground, Favre can't play forever.

He's got at least two or three good retirements left in him.

lol... your so right

 

[Chuck 54]

With all the teams that need starting QBs, I don't see us being able to pick up a starting caliber guy like Anderson as our backup. Minnesota will make a serious run at a guy like Anderson or McNabb, and there are other teams that need starters as well.

I wouldn't be surprised to see us with Bollinger as our #2 and drafting a #3.

 

[Hailmary]

Like most have already mentioned, he'll go somewhere where he can start.

I say we make a push for Losman. Not great as a starter, but has the tools to be a good backup. Just my $.02.

I thought he signed a long term deal last year--right?
