Poona Ford - 27 years old 5'11" 311lbs - Had a down year last year after a scheme change, so should be on the cheap.
Calais Campbell - 37 years old 6' 8" 300 lbs - Old as dirt, but can play on the inside in a 4-3. Would be a rotational guy. Kick the tires type of signing.
Greg Gaines - 27 years old 6'1" 313lbs - Another guy on a down year, but is a decent wide body with a decent first step.


Pickings are pretty slim, but I would go for Greg Gaines. Seems like a good value.

Ford interests me. Still pretty young and I like a short fireplug in the middle. He can easily get under most O linemen and stand them right up or flatten them

I want both Robinson and Hankins, but I think they are waiting on Beckham to make a decision soon.

People told me to be patient. We'd make in rain soon enough at DT in FA and fix the run D issues the front office lamented a month ago.

How many of you gonna fall for this yet again this offseason?

I think that's his point though. there doesn't seem to be any urgency to address a significant problem we continue to have. It's only a couple of days into FA but all the significant difference makers are already gone. Anyone we sign at this point is just going to be another decent rotation player, but nothing special.

It's possible they could be looking for a trade candidate, and I'll be the first to eat crow if a big move is made, but I don't think this front office has earned the "be patient" approach that everyone is suggesting, at least when it comes to DT.

How many difference makers were there? 1? Hargrave? He isn't worth the contract at his price and age imo.

Ahhh, wait until after the draft.

Haven't heard that one before.

I'll admit to being wrong if it happens but they aren't even linked to any of the remaining DTs. We are gonna likely bring back Hankins, bring back Watkins, throw a mid to late round pick or two at some project DTs and that will be it.

Same ****, different year.

Honest question that I don't know. What was the run d for the period we had hankins?

Gaines would be my choice. He’s really stout vs the run.

I’m guessing Hankins and Watkins both are being allowed to test the waters and will return unless someone offers a deal that blows the Cowboys out of the water.
