I think both are free agents. Parnell played well when it counted most. Free will cost more and he's older. What say you?

That would be the best scenario. New starter with Free or Parnell coming in off the bench.


Craig

No way either of them will come off the bench. The Cowboys O-line got so much praise this year. You don't think other teams in the league are salivating over the idea of getting a starter from this O-line? Those guys will demand money. I can see Free taking a cheap contract out of loyalty to the team. But someone would definitely be willing to pay him. And I think Parnell showed he can be a starter in this league. I can see him leaving to take more money. He's young-ish, have freakish athletic ability, and has played both tackle positions. And I'm not sure there will be a better RT available in free agency. And I don't trust our luck continuing with getting another rookie to come in and be a quality starter. I see us keeping the cheaper one of Free and Parnell.

I don't see either getting big money. Free isn't that strong at the point of attack while Parnell doesn't really shine when taking the lead role. It maybe true that neither return in a backup role but I do believe that the RT position can be upgraded.

Either can do an acceptable job.

I would expect that one of them will be resigned to a reasonable contract.

We need to find another Erik Williams in the 4th round in a few months.

Zack Martin will slide over to RT where he'll make All Pro.

We will draft an OG as well as bring in a FA. Martin will make an even bigger impact at RT.

Agreed. I expect the team to offer a reasonable contract to both, first come, first served.

Parnell may, in fact, be the higher-priced player.

My expectation is that the team will draft a right tackle this year regardless.

I think the long term fates of several players were made today.

Several of whom are likely gone.

Agreed. I think Parnell would merit a bigger salary out in free agent land.

You're right. Some will be gone.

Others like Ro McClain and Murray earned a contract from the Cowboys that is going to be smaller than what they thought they were going to get a few games ago.

I think one will be drafted.

Just not prior to the 4th round.

Why not? He played OT in college. It's his natural position. Why wouldn't we move him to RT?

Biggest reason in my mind is due to his dominate play at RG.

Secondly, I think either Parnell or Free will be lining up as the starter at RT next season... I really do believe that.

I'm not sure that next years RT is on the team right now. I would not be at all surprised to see us draft our starter early in next years draft.
