DMN Blog: Cowboys visiting with Igor Olshansky

CHAMPIONSHIP!

I have been wondering why the news on this guy has been soo quiet. I'm now wondering if this was planned all along and they were just waiting until Canty was gone and the cuts were made. It wouldn't suprise me at all if they announce the signing of Ware and Igor within hours of each other.

I like it. Same body type and stats as Canty, and hopefully cheaper...

I think you guys may be overrating him just a bit if you think he's a huge improvement over Canty.

Just a lot cheaper and new brooms sweep well.

A two day visit? That's encouraging. I expect if he's cheaper it will likely not be by much.

That would be Christmas in March.

Igor plays left DE, I would not be surprised to see Rat at RDE and Spears moved to NT. We played with is some last year, and Spears is a lard anyways. I say move him there and get a young NT. Both Igor and Rat on the edges would be an upgrade.

I would doubt very much that we would move every single player on the line to a new spot to accommodate Igor

Wait, I thought it was a bad thing when coaches bring in their former players.

I wonder why Igor hasn't gotten more attention on the market when a mediocre Canty breaks the bank. Is he really that bad?

He's about on par with Canty but he should be a lot cheaper.

Rat has already played DE...better position for him. Spears is not getting it done at DE and we already moved him at NT some last year, so this is not accomidating or moving someone to a new position.

Olshansky sucks. I live in San Diego and he was a none factor.

I would rather see Hatcher and Bowen get a shot than to waste money on this no load.

 

[Mash]

Well....hopefully we can get it done...

and I really hope the contract is friendly......

Would be a real nice pickup and it will fill the void nicely

Igor plays the right side like Canty not that it matters, I think they could play either. Castillo was the LDE.

11 sacks? ***?

Not even close Igor stats suck worse than spears. I don't want this guy he's garbage.

I don't think anyone would say he is a huge improvement over Canty but his career stats are similar and he certainly could hold down that spot without much dropoff for alot less cap dollars than Canty got. It would be a nice move to sure up another spot before the draft so we don't have to spen a high pick on a DE.

 

[MrMom]

Do it. Bring in Jermaine Phillips for a look see, too.

 

[Vinnie2u]

Don't overpay Jerry...... Don't give him superstar money.... You made 2 positive moves today don't open the bank for him... He's a solid player not all-pro... Don't pay him like one.

 

[Romo2Dez4six]

One down.

next is sean jones
