I think we'll be fine. I think our biggest priority will be resigning Ronald Leary. He's considered one of the top guards in the league already. Hopefully teams are still scared of his knees to not throw big money at him. We might have to match a huge contract to resign him.

We can always slap the franchise tag on Murray. See if he repeats next year then slap it on him again. You don't give a 26 year old RB a long-term contract.

Dez will be expensive but I think we'll get it done.

I think someone might be willing to give Parnell a surprisingly high offer. He has physical upside and looked good in limited time on the most elite O-line in the league. Teams overpay for players on elite units. There hasn't been a more elite unit this season in the NFL than our O-line. You don't think other teams realize that Leary, Free and Parnell will all be available? Someone will be willing to pay. I just really hope we don't lose Leary. Our O-line could take a huge fall if we do. He's that good.

And I also want to keep Melton. Two stud 3-techs is a must in Marinelli's D, and Melton plays a lot of SDE too. I don't care about guys like Spencer and Selvie. We can easily replace them, and we should.

The top 5 guys I really want to see back in order are:

1. Leary
2. Dez
3. Melton
4. Murray
5. Free

Leary's restricted, so we should be able to get him back with a first-round tender.

I wouldn't have a problem franchising Murray. It's several million cheaper than franchising Dez or even Free (who I wouldn't tag no matter what).

Oh, that's encouraging to hear about Leary. I don't think anyone would give up a 1st rounder for a guard, especially one whose knee can go out at any moment.

And wouldn't the franchise tag for Free give him the average of the top five tackles in the NFL, not just RT? No way I'd give Free more than a very small deal.

We should all spam the votes and get Weeden to the probowl

I agree with this premise. We should be voting for Eagles, Giants and Commanders only. Let them feel the salary cap crunch of handing out Prowl Bowl bonuses.

I keep thinking about next offseason and it doesn't seem like we will have much money to sign/resign guys. Imagine having 10 guys go to the pro bowl.....wow. This future offseason keeps haunting me and I just wonder how we are going to get it done. Murray, Dez, Free, Parnell, a real backup QB, Melton, a DE, Spencer, McClain, Carter, Durant sure I am missing a few but it is one scary offseason. I think the main guys we should concentrate on are obviously Dez and McClain.....then in the order of Murray, Melton, Free......the latter two only if we can get a good reasonable deal for them.
Man oh man, we really need to hit on the next draft.

Player doesn't get the votes to make a Pro-bowl. Player gets mad at fans for not voting for him. Player remembers fans sell their tickets to opposing teams fans. Player doesn't want to play for team anymore because he thinks home fans don't care.

I want all of the Cowboy players to be disappointed that they will be missing the pro bowl since they will have a game the next week

Player doesn't care about any of that. Player only cares about 1 thing....MONEY

Probowl works into contract bonuses. I'm expecting that teams don't give a flip about probowl appearances. You get them by having status as opposed to strict talent usually. Larry Allen, who was a legitimately great player, had at least a pro bowl or two he didn't deserve because he was Larry Allen. All Pro probably matters a little more but not much. I'd guess teams decide based on the market and what their own internal evaluations say about a player.

Is this a thread requesting forum members to stop voting Cowboys players into the Pro Bowl? Or is this a rhetorical thread based on a belief too many NFL fans may cast too many Pro Bowl ballots for Cowboys players? The former would have a near negligent effect on the final outcome. The latter would occur without having ever read the thread. I am not sure which message to support more. How about I play it safe and vote for Cowboy players then feel bad about it afterwards?

Best to do then ask for forgiveness.

My only memory of something that happened at the pro bowl was Barry Switzer eating a hot dog

I voted for the Cowboys who I think are deserving to be Pro-Bowlers: Smith, Frederick, Martin, Murray, Bailey, Dez.

So we should vote for Eagles players?
