Fish: Cowboys do plan to spend on tier 2 free agents

[Coogiguy03]

LOL.

If you get one of those names, I'd be stunned.

Ford and bolton

 

[bottleKids]

Can we go after one of those two DT from the Iggles? Are they considered tier 2?

 

[Coogiguy03]

What is Nick Bolton?

Micheal Bolton's niece

 

[rambo2]

LOL.

If you get one of those names, I'd be stunned.

How about 2?

 

[JayFord]

What is Nick Bolton?

Tier 2

 

[Sheepherder]

We like our own tier 1.5 guys

Im almost afraid to ask.Please explain.

 

[Chasing6]

I will believe when they start to free up cap space to do so.

 

[Sheepherder]

How about 2?

My guess for a while has been that they pick up Stefon Diggs. I would think he is considered a tier 2 type. Big enough name for Jerry to say he made a splash in FA, but also coming off an injury year and is 32 years old so that he wont cost a ton of money either. Maybe a 2 year/$30M type of deal?

So if they bring him in and let his brother go, how is that gonna go over?

Nick Bolton is a tier 2 free agent….solid addition and will instantly be the best LB on the team as I count Micah as a DE more than a LB

My two biggest gets were Milton and Bolton in FA. Looks like we are bringing back Osa so now it’s all about Bolton.

Having said that wouldn’t be a bit surprised to see Wash sign Nick…….

 

[Chasing6]

Tier 1 FAs are notoriously overpaid and rarely perform to expectations...if true I am good with tier 2 FAs and maybe a trade or two to grab more draft capital.

This team needs 5 to 6 starters at least to change the trajectory

I have been reading that this FA class overall is not strong and the same for this draft class.

If correct, being patient would be the wise move.

 

[Bigdog]

So Rowdy the mascot type players

 

[thunderpimp91]

So if they bring him in and let his brother go, how is that gonna go over?

I guess its possible but I would be surprised if they cut him. They cant currently without negotiating a medical settlement since he hasnt been cleared to play. If you have to wait for him to get healthy before cutting him or giving him a big check to agree to be cut whats the point? If the guy is healthy he is worth keeping on the roster in hopes he regains some of his pre injury form.

 

[gimmesix]

Trouble is, most free agents believe they are Tier 1 and will seek out a team that treats them that way. Only after the market has decided who is Tier 1 and the other FAs haven't found a team yet, do you get to Tier 2.

Of course, I'm not sure what the Joneses consider Tier 2. They could consider their dumpster diving as Tier 2.

Need to see the list of people they consider to be "tier 2"

 

[Coogiguy03]

that's only to sign OSA didn't you say yesterday to show us plays that he made significant plays

 

[Coogiguy03]

Jacksonville's 4th string Safety

 

[rambo2]

My two biggest gets were Milton and Bolton in FA. Looks like we are bringing back Osa so now it’s all about Bolton.

Having said that wouldn’t be a bit surprised to see Wash sign Nick…….

I wouldn't be surprised to see Dallas sign Bolton.

 

[Sheepherder]

Unless they are moving Tyler to LT, I wouldn’t spend FA dollars on a guard.

Yeah it could be upgraded but that money would be best spent elsewhere.

Bass, Hoffman and Richards aren’t awful players.

Out of the 3 , which one impresses you the most?

 

[jazzcat22]

Need to see the list of people they consider to be "tier 2"

their tier 2, will be fans' tier 3 and 4.

 

[OGSixshooter]

I'm sorry, but even the fact that this is leaked is evidence of extensive ROT.

Tier 2 free agents? The idea is to get the BEST guy for the BEST value. You telling me if we could - for example - get Joe Burrow for 2 1st round picks...we shouldn't do it because we have a "tier 2" approach?

This smacks of Jerry trying to appear as though they have a "strategy" - which invariably involves outsmarting the system and lining his pockets - and then peacocking at smart he is when the Cowboys get double-digit wins or some other meaningless market that the team arbitrarily sets and the lemmings lap up.
