- Sign Fisher to play LT

- Sign Fuller to play WR

53 Man Roster (final after roster machinations like keeping Tyron on roster but then to IR on day 1):

QB (2) - Dak, Grier (or Rush, does it matter? LOL)
RB (3) - Elliott, Pollard, Davis
TE (3) - Schultz, Ferguson, Hendershot
WR (7) - Lamb, Fuller, Tolbert, Brown, Turpin, Fehoko, Houston
OC (2) - Biadasz, Farniok
OG (3) - Smith, Martin, McGovern
OT (4) - Fisher, Steele, Ball, Waletzko

DT (5) - Gallimore, Hill, Odi, Bohanna, Ridgeway
DE (5) - Lawrence, Fowler, Williams, Armstrong, Golston
LB (5) - Parsons, LVE, Cox, Barr, Gifford
CB (6) - Diggs, Brown, Lewis, Joseph, Bland, Wright
S (5) - Kearse, Hooker, Wilson, Bell, Mukamua

K, P, LS (3)

Starting 22:

WR - Lamb
WR - Fuller
WR - Tolbert
TE - Schultz
QB - Dak
TB - Elliott
LT - Fisher
LG - Smith/McGovern
C - Biadasz
RG - Martin
LB - Steele

DE - Lawrence
DT - Gallimore
DT - Hill
DE - Fowler
LB - Parsons
LB - Barr
LB - LVE
CB - Brown
CB - Diggs
S - Kearse
S - Hooker

Lewis is the slot CB, Wilson or Bell could be the third S.

- Fisher is an ideal signing. He can still play a little and likely give you adequate LT play. He's also a vet who doesn't need tons of practice time, so you could work Ball in there a lot and continue to develop him to get ready for down the road.

- Fuller is an ideal #2. I am putting Gallup on PUP. I think the Cowboys are wishful thinking that he's going to be ready by Week 3. Give him a couple more weeks, Fuller can hold the fort down. Then when Gallup comes back, you have a really good Top 3 until Fuller eventually gets hurt (hahaha).

I'd leave the receivers alone. I would trade for an offensive lineman with the surplus players that they have in the defensive line and draft capital. I think that they will be able to trade something to help them be better this year. I think that they will trade for 1 offensive linemen and they could also sign a free agent lineman as well. Then they could move Ball to the practice squad.

Love Fuller as a low risk WR#4. Not entirely sure about Fisher though, he’s likely unemployed because he wants the riches.

Fuller has HORRIBLE hands, so no there, but FISHER would make sense.

They'll do neither.

Bland is the best nickel corner right now, and might be worthy of one of the starting corners.

Or he wanted to sit out camp and come back a week or so before. But it's possible he's holding out for a bigger offer.

Fuller's hands aren't great but they aren't terrible. His issue isn't his hands, it's he can't stay healthy. He's a huge low risk, high reward play here. He gives the team a legit down the field threat. Gallup and Lamb would be able to feast with Fuller on the field.

Gallup is supposedly way ahead of schedule.

Brandon Smith makes the roster over Dennis Houston and in fact get Smith involved in the passing game early against Tampa . Folks he outplayed our 3rd round pick in this last draft .

And at LB I’ve seen enough of Luke Gifford to know he’s a step slow a dollar late and I would not care to see him as any depth . Devin Harper had a play near the goal line where he shot the gap and had the RB for a loss if any other defender might have shown up .

Not bad.

I don't think there is a snowballs chance in hell of Fuller happening but I do think Fisher may be an option after week1 if he is available.

No way does Hill start over Osa. Osa is getting the star treatment this TC if you haven't noticed while Hill is still playing in the 4th...

Also, gotta keep the 6th round LB over Gifford, the kid is too good. (forgetting his name at the moment)

I would sign fisher to a 3 year deal with a 9 million dollar signing bonus (that's guaranteed, to keep the price down) for 20 million dollars

Sounds great, you should email this to Jerry so he would get a clue............

Gallup coming back by Week 3 would be in less than 7 months from surgery which would be an amazing recovery time period. Plus, this team has often been over exuberant in time lines for players to return, only to then have to back off. I'll believe Gallup is playing Week 3 when I see it.

Looks good. One thing I would do differently is get rid of Fehoko and Houston and trade for Mims. That trade may look savy down the line. I wouldn't do that if we wanted to trade for a LT, but you have us signing Fisher

The team doctors are well aware of gallups status. They know when he will be ready. Whether you agree w it or not
