Eric Berry visits Tuesday

[Rayman70]

I sure hope not. But then again why would he take a visit on crutches anyway? Unless he’s trying to be a coach or something.

Wait, is this Berry getting on the plane for his visit?

I believe its Geathers.

 

[Kingofholland]

I'm glad they're atleast exploring Berry.

 

[gimmesix]

So would you bros rather have Berry or Geathers? Taking money out of it.

Geathers is young and can't stay healthy, but is a solid run-stopping safety when he is healthy. Berry is old and can't stay healthy, but is one of the best free safeties in the game when he is health.

My pick would be the better player, which is Berry.

 

[JBS]

That is complete supposition.

Free agents are foaming at the mouth to take an incentive laden deal to play w a star on their helmet

 

[gimmesix]

I'd rather have 3-4 4th tier depth signings than a bonfire NFL caliber signing

So you prefer depth over difference makers. I'm in complete disagreement with that. Give me one playmaker. Depth is easier to find.

 

[Bigdog]

Xavier Woods does not approve of this. His feelings will be hurt and he feels disrespected.

 

[AbeBeta]

That is complete supposition.

No, it is a realistic analysis given that Berry has played very little in the last two years.

But please, keep arguing. I know nobody here will believe it but you used to actually good stuff to this board. Really, kids this is true! Go back to being that guy.

 

[Alexander]

Depth is easier to find.

Especially for a team that claims it is just kick butt at drafting.

 

[RoyTheHammer]

Lol..so that we can say we tried. No chance we sign him if we didn't go after some if these other guys.

 

[Rayman70]

get ready folks..." made our best HONEST OFFER." BUT BUT BUT...you know the rest.

 

[gimmesix]

We think. Same variables in play now as with them.

Exactly. How many of those previous cheap signings that we made produced players who put us over the top. Those who are praising these signings point to Antwaun Woods as the type of player they can be produce. That's true and it's what we hope for.

But for every Woods, you end up with a Hurns, Deonte Thompson, Joe Thomas, Cameron Fleming, Kony Ealy, etc. ... good backups and special teammers at best.

I don't see anything so far that Dallas has done that I can say is proof that the team has improved over 2018. I'll hope, but that's as far as I can take it.

 

[Rayman70]

woods just needs to stop and play well. Why is he worried? If he is good enough, then nothing will change.If he isn't, its on him. This is the NFL,no guarantees.

Hope has always been a strategy with this organization in terms of talent acquisition.

Yeah but I think it’s easier to find depth than difference makers. Your difference makers will have to come from the draft or already on your team.

 

[StarMan2112]

Get er done Jerry! We need a good backup for Heath.

The thing is though you can’t be solid in the draft and then get upset when you have to pay those players. Free agency is about overpaying. So down the road is it worth letting one of our difference makers go in favor of a guy who another team didn’t want?

Philly used a combination of drafting and free agency to reach the Super Bowl. LA did the same thing last year. There may be sacrifices that you have to make down the line, but unless you are New England, it isn't likely that you are going to be a Super Bowl contender every year.

However, I believe it's a myth to think you can't sign your own difference makers and add a couple in free agency. Contracts can be managed and balanced in ways to let you do that.

 

[dallas72]

I hope like hell we sign him.

He's better than Heath and his leadership skills are unquestioned. Remember how Woodson helped Roy early in his career? Eric could do the same. He was beloved in Kansas City and we could use him if nothing else to stabilize the position.

If Garrett is really all about culture - here's your guy.

Berry is FS so he wont replace Heath..Xavier Woods will he moved to SS

 

[dallas72]

People laugh, joke, and complain but the Cowboys covered all their bases with low risk, high reward signings so far.

If they get Eric Berry I am happy until the draft. Even if he's no longer the player he was, his influence on the young guys would be immeasurable.

If hes healthy could he a steal w his leadership

 

[Jipper]

Get er done Jerry! We need a good backup for Heath.

even though you are trying to be funny there is some truth to this....berry has played 3 games in the past 2 years bc of injuries...

give it to this fan base to get over the moon excited bc were looking at an oft injured 30 safety with a name they know...but hey some of you guys keep thinking you are smarter than the fo..

only way berry makes sense is if injury is clean and deal is fair...you can't chance overpaying for this guy...
