I don't. Big names are just that flash and hardly ever substance. You don't build your team that way and win.

Unfortunately, he (or someone under him) found out and had it blocked from the public tracking services.

That was one of the greatest threads here ever. We knew his every vacation destination.

You and Daniel Snyder have something in common.

They're both short and near sighted?

Sorry Slate. I couldn't resist.

Who is going to be the first to complain that we haven't signed anyone yet?

Any takers?

I don't imagine the really big time complaining will begin until Rolle, Sharper, and Antoine (Spelled wrong perhaps) are off the market and then the people who've been linked to wanting to go and get them will likely be really upset that Dallas didn't go and get them.

Especially the Rolle crowd. I heard on NFL network last night that the Dolphins had already offered him a contract, that was under the 8 million per year he wanted, and he's left it on the table to look elsewhere. The guy wants 8 million per year. He won't even get an interview in Dallas.

Sorry Slate. I couldn't resist.

LOL! Ouch.

We had a blast. No one could sleep. Speculation run amok.

Sigh...good times.

We've all heard about the agents and players who had their phones ringing at the stroke of midnight last night, but so far no players have been identified as possible targets of the Cowboys.

That doesn't mean the team isn't being active behind the scenes, but it wouldn't be unlike the Cowboys to wait for the market to develop on some of the free agents who interest them. They didn't jump headlong into the market last year, letting big deals for Albert Haynesworth and some others get done on the first day, but came back later in opening weekend to sign Keith Brooking and trade for Jon Kitna. They waited 11 days after the start of free agency to sign Gerald Sensabaugh to a bargain one-year contract.

In fact, some of the Cowboys' shrewdest moves in free agency over the years have resulted from letting the market, and the players, come to them. Remember, almost two weeks passed before they signed La'Roi Glover in 2002, maybe their best open-market deal ever.

So don't be surprised or disappointed the Cowboys haven't already been linked to the biggest names out there. Jerry Jones has promised they'll be as busy as ever.

Honestly, I can understand the Cowboys waiting for the time being.

This class of unrestricted FAs is underwhelming, to say the least . . . .

I agree however I think there are always diamonds in the rough to be found. :laugh2:

I tell you what, if JJ/Wade can come away with quality talent/depth in the next couple of months with this class, they did their jobs! :laugh2:

That said, I'm sure somehow and someway they will unearth a couple FAs. But it's going to be hard work this year.

Dooms, that has to be a jewel...

I think by and large over the years many of us look at the start of FA like Christmas day and it sucks when everyone else is showing their new toys while we don't even have a present under the tree. I do think Jerry has done the right thing in not rushing into FA but it is none the less hard when you see the other kids showing off what they got. :laugh2:
