Future Cowboys? The top 20 potential NFL free agents and whether they'd fit in Dallas

[TheCount]

Okay, after umpteen mentions the last month I just have to ask. What am I missing on Lamar Miller? Why is he so coveted?

Miller is a good back.

He's young, can run and catch, doesn't have a lot of wear and tear and is young.

 

[CF74]

Let's just draft a running back and be done with it. Fresh legs and manageable salary.

Who do you like rounds 3-4?

 

[zack]

Not all that impressed by this list. Miller would be good but I'm sure we could draft a back too.

 

[Risen Star]

Miller is a good back.

He's young, can run and catch, doesn't have a lot of wear and tear and is young.

I'd rather address it in the draft. I don't like settling. Getting an okay player from Miami isn't my idea of Plan A. Especially when it's significantly more expensive.

I suppose he could thrive getting more of a workload. I'm just surprised everyone sees his Dolphins career and is salivating at the thought of signing him.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

This defense could use a Von Miller, Eric Berry or Josh Norman.

Realistically I wonder what Bruce Irvin's market is like.

Okay, after umpteen mentions the last month I just have to ask. What am I missing on Lamar Miller? Why is he so coveted?

He's a 3 down back that has a lot of potential. He's been misused in Miami. Got some speed too and can run downhill. Good in pass protection, since apparently that's the #1 criteria that our staff seems to use in evaluating players.

3m/per is a bargain. If we can get him for that it shouldn't even be a question.

I like Jackson on that list, surprised Mebane wasn't mentioned. Gipson either.

We have a lot of holes, anything we can patch up in FA with quality players and not the Jasper Brinkleys of the world is pretty much a necessity at this point.

It's one less draft pick you have to use on offense.

 

[tyke1doe]

Who do you like rounds 3-4?

I'd take one as high as the first round (Elliott) if the quarterbacks we want aren't available, and we trade down.
In the second, I'm good with Henry and Collins. Those three have been my main draft pets.
I want to get a running back anywhere within our top three picks.

 

[Risen Star]

It's one less draft pick you have to use on offense.

I'm looking to build a new set of triplets.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Wouldnt hate signing Prince at all

 

[Kaiser]

I think they definitely pursue one of those Safeties and a 1T like BJ Raji. I really don't see them paying big money to a FA at most of the other positions, unless its a game changer like Alshon Jeffrey or Josh Norman.

I don't see an OT either, I've been one of Free's biggest critics but he played well at the end of the season and the team likes Chaz Green. I'll rather roll with that than pay the three million in dead cap money and have to pay another 5 million or so on top of that for another FA.

 

[Nightman]

I hate lazy articles like that. Most if not all won't even have a chance to be Cowboys, a lot won't even be a consideration. The majority won't even be available.

If I had to pick any of the 20 listed, I would go with Lamar Miller, Danny Travathen and Eric Weddle.

Since we all know we will never have a huge free agent bounty like we had with the Ferguson/Henry/Rivera triple shot in 2005, I will settle with one.

That would be Weddle. No question. We need a veteran presence in the secondary.

I like Miller, but we can get a cheaper rookie back.

I think that is a great list, but I want Hardy if the choice is Miller or Hardy.

I want to draft QB, RB, CB and 1T

 

[LocimusPrime]

This is a list of players that will be franchised or will want too much money for the Cowboys.

 

[Alexander]

Yep.

Unless of course, "we can do whatever we want in free agency " again .

 

[DallasBlockersClub]

Okay, after umpteen mentions the last month I just have to ask. What am I missing on Lamar Miller? Why is he so coveted?

He's really fast so obviously he's a good running back.


In all seriousness, he's a very productive player both running the ball and in the passing game, and has been a victim of being horribly utilized in Miami. Would be very good in Dallas.


FWIW, I'd rather just draft our own. (Alex Collins)

 

[jobberone]

I want Alshon to put a Cowboys' uniform on.

 

[Kaiser]

I want to draft QB, RB, CB and 1T

I haven't done any real draft review but I've read a couple of things that the 1T position is very deep after the 3rd round, which could be a great fit for one of our 4th or someone dropping to one of our 6ths.

 

[jobberone]

He's a 3 down back that has a lot of potential. He's been misused in Miami. Got some speed too and can run downhill. Good in pass protection, since apparently that's the #1 criteria that our staff seems to use in evaluating players.

I like the guy but why not get a RB in the draft with the cheap contract that comes with him?

 

[darthseinfeld]

If Ingram got 3 million a year, Miller will get 5

 

[Nightman]

I like the guy but why not get a RB in the draft with the cheap contract that comes with him?

A 1st round RB at 15th will be about 11m all guaranteed for 4 years. About the same as a FA
