Former players-smart low cost buys or progress stoppers?

[darthseinfeld]

I identified a few former Cowboys players that remain free agents, would they be smart, low cost buys or become progress stoppers:

Cooper WR-since they failed to draft a capable #2 receivers and have younger prospects still in the developmental stage, makes sense to add Cooper as a bridge player. We know him /Dak worked well with one another in the past.

Gilmore CB-we just don't know when the likes of Diggs and Revel will be fully ready to return. Adding Gilmore would allow the team to bring them back slowly and not rush their return and have any setbacks.

Hankins DT-a good mentor to both Mazi and our younger prospects at the position. Might become more of a progress stopper, but he still remains a good 2 down player.

Kendricks LB-this is all about competition. I'm not a fan of the trade for Murray and believe he is a downgrade at the position. They view it otherwise, but he does strengthen team depth.

None of these players will break the bank and could be released if a player on this roster proves they are better. Adding veteran leadership to
such a young roster, makes sense.

I think they need to spend their cap space.

Granted its Fish, but he said his sources say Amari is fake news. Said Cowboys see him as a "jag" (sources words)

Tyreek Hill is a guy I wouldn't sleep on. I dont think the draft compensation is going to be what people think it is. A 4th wouldn't surprise me

I also wonder if DJ Moore is a possibility. They have Odunze and just drafted Burden

Very possible, you also said that very thing yesterday. I think players on their last yr of their contracts are the ones that can be had or they lose them for nothing if not resigned

If you are waiting for the cavalry and it's Old Man Hankins that comes over the hill, that's not exactly a great sign.

Another to consider with guys in walk years is some (Pickens) you may get a 3rd round comp from of they walk
