Oh, I'm sorry, is this good news?
I'm sure it is for the agents of these three linemen. All it does for us is insure that all three of these Pro Bowlers can never get paid the amount they can demand of the Cowboys when the time comes.
In the age of free agency and salary caps the window for building and maintaining a good team depends on the number of players that are considered to be stars. The higher the number, the less likely of keeping them intact.
The trick is to have as many squads as possible emerge at one time. What good is a great young line when the quarterback is in his twilight? By the time his replacement is developed, the O-line will be football's version of the Beatles.
Also, when it comes to the offensive line, a great one can have the nasty habit of turning their fellow teammates into stars thus raising their price as well.
A fantastic opportunity for championships continues to melt away as we celebrate the recognition of players on a team that has achieved nothing but bitter disappointment this season.
