Cowboys talking to Kyle Boller

The Cowboys have talked with the agent of free agent quarterback Kyle Boller.



But the talks are very preliminary.


The Cowboys are in the market for a backup quarterback when they released Brad Johnson yesterday.



Dallas' other backup, Brooks Bollinger, is a free agent.
Jerry Jones is interested in a veteran as a backup and Boller appears to be a good fit. However, Boller didn't play last season because of a rotator cuff injury. But his agent, Justin Schulman, said Boller is healthy.

Hell Yes!!!!! Get his name on the dotted line.
He's not even my pet cat at backup QB, but I'll take it, and someone in the Draft if you please.

Start praying Romo stays healthy........

Like I said yesterday. He'd be an upgrade but only because Brad sucks THAT much.

Rhett Bomar would suit me just fine.

I pray for that regardless of who the backup is.

As do I but with no legitimate backup I think everyone should get an early start.

Boller isn't the total hack some paint him to be. He's just under .500 as a starter. We can't get much better in this day and age.

Did Boller have to have surgery on the rotator cuff?


Boller tore his labrum in August......(Whatever the heck that is,:))

Boller is as good a choice as any backup. It's either young and bad decision making or old and no arm. That's just how it goes.

I can live with him, Chase Holbrook, and several others.

the best part is we can take one in the draft, cut him, and then sneak him onto the practice squad....
