Why does it surprise people that Jerry wants offense?
Look at what we have:
TO: Sure he's one of the best in the game....but he's 33. He's also going to be in the last year of his contract next year. And with all the FAs we have, he may have to wait to get extended....something he's shown he doesn't like.
Glenn: I would be surprised if he ever suits up for us again.
Crayton: He'll be an UFA next year. With all the players we'll have to sign, can we keep him?
Barber/Jones: Both FAs. Fortunately, Barber is a RFA so we can match. But it's almost a given that Jones will be gone. We'll need someone to help take the load off Barber....he runs like a maniac....
If we can somehow sign Crayton and Barber then restructure TO, then we may be able to wait later on the first day. But we still need playmakers on offense. The last thing we need to do is leave Romo weaponless.
