DT Malik Jackson released

[Risen Star]

I'm hoping the Cowboys will be interested.

 

[cowboyec]

hope we more than take a look.

I'm hoping the Cowboys will be interested.

I wanted him when he was an FA 2 or 3 years ago. Really hope we make a move for him. He will help our defense far more than Earl Thomas would.

 

[Killerinstinct]

Several DT options available or will be. Hopefully we can land one.

 

[Risen Star]

There will probably be too much interest in him around the league and we probably draft too well anyway.

There is a downside to having Will McClay.

 

[Sydla]

I'd kick the tires.

I know our front office won't though.

I'd be stunned if they signed a DT this FA period, at least in the first 3 weeks of FA. They like Collins and Woods and think they can turn crap into gold at the DT spot.

 

[Tabascocat]

An affordable option for a FA defensive tackle? Dallas wants no part in that.........

 

[ICP]

Well Malik is a guy we've actually heard of so I'm gonna go out on a limb and say no way this is gonna happen.

They lost Irving and Collins is a part time player. It's debatable just how good Woods really is. DT is one of their biggest needs.

 

[Alexander]

Hyde too.

 

[Risen Star]

I don't want to start a thread for every player released but the Jaguars are also releasing Carlos Hyde.

I would not be surprised if he ends up as Zeke's backup. Reunite the Ohio St. boys.

Edit - I didn't see Alexander's post because I have him on ignore.

Not quick twitch enough.

Or something.

 

[John813]

Won't hurt the comp pick equations, so kick the tires

 

[Risen Star]

As an aside, I am really surprised and disappointed that Rod Marinelli is sticking around yet another year. I didn't see that coming if Richard stayed with the Cowboys. I thought for sure that would force Marinelli out. Which needs to happen for this team to take the next step defensively. Get his voice out of the personnel meetings.

What you said makes perfect sense for most sane people.

However, I'd enter into record that when it comes to the DT position, our front office has never really been sane.

If he's still available in the 3rd week of free agency after Jerry stumbles off his battleship, he may kick the tires.

Otherwise, forget it.

Here to stick it again to you, stud.

 

[robbieruff]

We like our guys...

We like quick twitch guys...so much so that they do it pre-snap and give away the defensive strategy.
