We are hearing lots of rumors coming out about contracts expected to be signed tomorrow. So far there really aren't any that I have said to myself "man that was a steal, the Cowboys should have pulled the trigger on that" like I said to myself on a few last year. Of course it IS the first wave of free agency.
It may be interesting to see who else gets cut tomorrow. So far I would rather the Cowboys be sitting on the sidelines than paying the reported numbers. Nine million for Anthony Hitchens? ***!!!! Maybe we will get a decent comp pick out of him!!
I would really like to see us move on from Dez and Witten. It is likely the smart move, replacing both with a draft pick or a low priced free agent later on in the process.
I am not often in error. I thought I was wrong once, but it turned out I was right about that too. Lol.
In all seriousness, I did not think Dez' contract was tradeable, but after seeing the numbers thrown around today, maybe a market MIGHT develop for Dez in a trade after the crazy contracts we have seen thrown around. At least it would be a short contract for the acquiring team with NO DEAD MONEY for the acquiring team.
Add Hitchens to the list of Dallas players we would have liked to have kept that walked due to the cap. He would have been very nice depth next year.
The ten picks we have will be the life blood of this team going forward. If we want to keep our OL intact, sign Martin, Dak and Elliott long term.
Speaking of those guys at what point does Martin become too expensive to keep? What about Elliott? All three could be special players and break the proverbial bank.
At what point do you say, let's get a QB at #19 or in the second round and save $30 Million per year on Dak? I'm not suggesting that but damn, this is insane.
