Always follow the money. They should have Dez in hand with a verbal commitment to X dollars. Knowing this you allow Ro, Murray, Free, Parnell et al shop their wares. Some if not all will allow us to negotiate afterwards. Then you know what you can spend. They should have a good idea even if only a reasonably thought out range of money necessary.
For me Dez is a must. Murray is a want. One of Free or Parnell is a want is not a must. One of those will likely walk and likely Parnell. My guess is Murray will be priced out of our market. Durant will sign. My guess is Ro will get more money here. I have little idea about Carr. I suspect Mo is on the roster since he's not a FA.
They'll restructure to get what they think is a competitive team.
The team does have a "potentially" easy schedule with NFC South/AFC East but we were also relatively healthy, made timely TOs, etc.but most importantly, had Romo almost all year. That was damn luck if I ever saw it and why I'm even more frustrated at the lost opp @ the SB when he was healthy in the playoffs with Dez "just chillin" outside until needed. The team shouldn't rest on it's laurels in thinking the same formula will just will us back into the playoffs/SB. That is what signing Murray means to me (again 50/50) when thinking about the lack of talent on D and missed opps in the playoffs.
