Clady may be worth a look-- he would be an upgrade over Bell. But we need to see what we have in Chaz, Cooper, and Collins at RT. The other guys don't interest me as we already are throwing numbers at the DL and we now have a logjam in the secondary.

We'll probably be playing musical chairs at two of our starting O-line positions for the next 5-10 years given that we have 3 young All Pros making top dollar. It's not a surprise we didn't resign Leary. Expect Cooper and Collins to also be gone even if they have outstanding seasons this year.

I don't think we see Bell as a right tackle. I think we see him as a possible starting guard if Collins ends up at right tackle. If that's the case, I think it might be better to have the younger and healthier player. Clady would be an option if neither Green nor Collins can handle right tackle, but I think we should be able to man the position between the two of them.

Pretty sure he's an OT...has started games before. Cooper is our hopeful LG.

Bell has played both guard and right tackle and he looked much better playing guard. Collins said he has been spending all of his time at right tackle right now, so I don't think we see Bell as a tackle option (although we love position flex). I think the competition will be between Collins and Green at right tackle and Cooper and Bell at left guard. If Green wins the tackle spot, then Collins will start at left guard. If Collins wins the tackle spot, Cooper seems to be getting the first chance at left guard but if he fails, I think we'll see Bell because of his proven ability to play it.

We already have Clady, injury wise, on the team. Chaz Green.

Not a bad list with the exception of cornerback Jason McCourty.

The last thing this team needs is a cornerback.

A back up QB is needed though.

agree but Dallas should roll with only 2 QBs this year. Dak looks durability and Dallas can go long at other positions like DB, DL or OL.

There is a reason they are all still available.
