DJ Fluker anyone?

[thunderpimp91]

See my post #13 @thunderpimp91

Sounds accurate man. If he is 330 in that picture the dude had to play around 360-370 before.

 

[Mr_437]

Wow, Bro really put in some work. Heck yeah, give him a shot. Bring him in asap.

 

[KDM256]

Would love to sign him before other teams take interests but you guys know Dallas doesn't do anything proactive inthe offseason.

 

[Denim Chicken]

I see no reason not to bring him in for a look.

 

[Portnoy1]

I seen DJ and automatically thought DJ Reader and got excited, then seen fluker

The former 1st round pick is attempting a comeback and working out at Alabama’s pro day. It’s reported that Cowboys coaches are there anyway.

He also has history with O-line coach Mike Solari as well.

I’d give him a shot at our left guard position.

“He’s a physical football player and he brings passion and he brings an energy and a physicality that you want on your offensive line,” Solari said. “You want that physical-ness, you want that toughness on your offensive line, and he brings it.”

Not a bad option to invite to camp. Don't know if he'd make the team, but he'd be an interesting choice to invite to camp and see how he competes for a roster spot.

He’s ol? Rather him play dl

Very little downside

He wouldn't count against comp picks and would likely be the veteran minimum not even counting against our top 51 CAP space. If he makes the team it's a success! If he gets cut then the only downside was another player who likely would have been cut didn't get to go through camp.

The Cowboys would be dumb not to look at him in the shapes hes in....really depends on how much
does he and his agent want ?

 

[Cowpolk]

Take the L out of his name and sign him

 

[Bullflop]

I see no harm in taking a chance on him at such a minimal risk. If he makes it, great and if he doesn't you move on to someone else. Yes, there's a real risk that gives one doubts, although, if it works out, there's also a chance you'll have someone very special to help your cause. There are surely many things one might try that would lead to disappointment. Of course, if that risk proved successful, it'd be something to be quite proud of. Having the fortitude to take faith in someone willing to work so hard to improve sounds like something special to invest in.

Exactly, no harm finding out. I'd say bring him to TC, and see if he makes it through the cutdowns. Like you said, if he is able to earn a spot on the team, then fantastic. If not, no harm done.

 

[speedkilz88]

No issue giving a guy a chance with the vet minimum but he's 32 so I just don't know if the team would find it worthwhile.

Saw that picture on an article for the US Sun and the caption said he is 330LBS in that picture. If true that is an insane way to carry 330 pounds around. I would have guessed thats around 280ish and thought no way is he big enough to play inside at this point.

"He's now down to 330 pounds and looking chiseled ahead of a comeback attempt."

Combine Measurements
6'4-5/8"

Tyrone is same way..

Tyrone is same way..

Fair point, my mind still struggles to process the idea that a human being can be that large and that lean at the same time.

 

[Jarntt]

Someone for Peters to hang out with on the road...

 

[blueblood70]

yet they did it with peters and also looked at that ex rams 40year old tackle before peters.. he has less mileage 32 been working out no reason he couldn't play a while if he got back on track.

The last contract he signed while playing was for 1 yr @ $1.075M. The vet minimum was $950k then

He11 to the Yes!!!! Change of scenery and coaches that believe in you makes a difference. Same for Cam Newton as a back up QB. Fluker has always been a OG just like Leonard Davis who had the same fate in the NFL.
