Fowler: Cowboys are crafting a free agency plan to bolster the defense

[Echo9]

Not doing so would be madness, or even one step beyond

It's obvious it needs to be done. As if it was just out there in the middle of the street.

 

[JBS]

Chaisson could be a guy you actually get more out of than what you paid for. He has improved every year since leaving Jacksonville. We also really liked him in 2020. @Cowboyny has pimping him

Phillips and Oweh would tied for me except Phillips has had some durability concerns.

Absolutely fair assessment all the way around. I wouldn’t be mad at Oweh at all.

 

[Risen Star]

Jaelan Phillips is overrated. More hype than production.

I think Chaisson is around where they want to be.

Chaisson $8-$11
Dean $8-$10 and this gives you a solid front 7

Osa/Clark/Williams
Eze/Overshown/Dean/Chaisson

I look for them to add a guy like Blankenship $6-$8 per and toss in a corner. Defense would be looking really nice before adding two first rounders. Possibly guys like Theineman at 20 would be outstanding

I still expect them to go after Fitzpatrick before FA opens

PFF is surprisingly unkind to Chaisson. 62.7 pass rush grade, but they credit him with 54 pressures (18th in the NFL) and 9 sacks (PFF counts half sacks as a full)

Players whove been cut from teams due to poor performance shouldnt be bought in to be starters

Thats depth….

Find some players who can PLAY ball

They’ve been linked to

Nakobe Dean, Jalen Thompson, Reed Blankenship, Bobby Okereke so far. I think 2-3 of these will be signed

Somewhere hidden away In a secret room at The Star in Frisco or the Death Star in Arlington.
Bottles of JWB flowing, with an easel and sharpies or are those crayons. A plot is being crafted to take on FA with a flurry of ... well we tried to get that player, well, we tried to get this player ... excuses being written.

No matter who the team is interested in wouldn’t be more prudent to not indicate what positions, let alone names?

Signing him would pretty much shut down any talk of drafting Downs IMO

Yep. But there are plenty of other holes to fill.

 

[Kwyn]

We are going to #monitor so hard

 

[Cowboyny]

Phillips and Oweh would tied for me except Phillips has had some durability concerns.

He has been an ascending player and just 26 years old entering his prime seasons. Already has played well in a 3-4 scheme. Players like him and Mafe could be diamonds in the rough.

 

[ShortRound]

So the GM is doing his job?

 

[Risen Star]

Get used to reading this in two weeks.

How are we affording this?

Not really. Different type S's

You think the Cowboys would pay significant money for a safety in free agency and use the 12th overall pick on another?

Maybe so but it would be completely unlike them.

Its dubious, Ill give you that. But I think if we are talking Downs, it could be too good to pass up. Especially in this draft where everyone else at 12 might be guys you would rather take 10 picks later.

I’m just not a fan of Nakobe Dean. He’s been injured it seems like his entire rookie contract.

You have to figure Parker will get at least one of his former players in here.

Expectations: sign top free agents
Reality: monitoring third tier free agents
