Cowboys have a three-year deal with Doug Free.

 

[Tobal]

That was important for me

 

[DogFace]

I'm happy with this. I do think we lost something when he went out. I hope his foot won't be a continuous problem.

 

[erod]

He's the dad of the group. Needed to be done.

Having that same line back from last season is a really great way to start Free Agency. Good job Cowboys front office.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Interesting to see what the terms are.

 

[reddyuta]

we better have a VIABLE backup for Free,i dont trust to stay healthy.

Keeping the band together for a run, also makes it hard for me to believe they will let Murray go and risk it all on an unproven rookie..

 

[NeonNinja]

I'm fine with this. Want to see the numbers though.

AD is not a rookie.

Great news....now Durant, McClain....
Murray & Dez of course...then Carter, but I think he will be gone.

That would get all the "must have" guys signed

You'd be right , regardless of the constant propping of his replacement

I hope you're right. But we need to have a quality replacement in place via the Draft, imo.

I'd expect some funny money stashed in year three.

I guess these coaches don't appreciate the raw, unbridled talent of Parnell.

 

[ChooChoo73]

Got no problem with age if surrounded by youth. Great job by cowboys.

 

[Thefeelofcotton]

Now that we've re-signed free we need to draft a rookie either this year or next to back him up so when he either retires or doesn't re-sign in three years the next kid can step right in.

Or maybe Parnell wanted more money. It will be interesting to see who signs for more: Free or Parnell.

That wouldn't be a surprise, but lately the Cowboys have been playing their contracts a little more straight-up.

LOL!

It could also come down to the cost. When it's all said and done I wouldn't be surprised to see that Parnell ended up with a couple more mill per season strictly because he's the younger guy.

I thought they were both competent.
