Twitter: Leon Hall to Visit per Rapoport

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Yes ! The guy can still play. He's an upgrade.

I think this is meant for Carr not Ramsey. Why the hate for Ramsey all of a sudden ? I see a lot of board members saying they don't want him

Im just not interested in spending a top 5 pick on a CB. We went that route and failed twice imo. Id rather take Zeke at 4 than Ramsey.

Hall and Reggie Nelson would go a long way to making the secondary better for a couple of seasons.

Michael, you can raise your flag back to full staff as part of the vigil.

God yes. Especially Nelson.. Him next to Jones!!

"He is coming off a year in which he was a quality slot man and helped the Bengals finish second in passing scores allowed (18) and fifth in opponent passer rating."

Good write-ups on the 2015 version of Leon Hall. Sounds like he'd be a good fit at slot corner. Scandrick is capable of playing outside.

Speaking only for myself, I have hesitation if it is this late in the game and there is not even a consensus from NFL types about what his best pro position would be. They just rave on his athleticism and freakishness.

Like Byron Jones last year?

Give me Joseph instead, and its not even close.

Many people thought that last year. And he got every penny.

Many people think dumb things all the time.

Last year he was clearly going to be on the team whether he took the pay cut, or not. This year, we're shopping for his replacement in FA. He's got the 5th highest cap hit in the league for his position. His deal gets redone, or we cut him.

Good read. Sounds like he'd be a good fit at slot corner. Scandrick is capable of playing outside.

If we were interested in Weddle , we should also look at Reggie Nelson. Good true safeties in the NFL can be very productive later than most positions. Nelson and Hall were both very good last season. The bengals are simply trying to get younger and get some of their draft picks on the field.

If we are going to low ball all these guys, why even bother?

It's called negotiating 101

 

[Jstopper]

Only thing is I'm getting tired of FA leaving Dallas without a contract. Like Jesus stop low balling these guys when you see they aren't going for that. Shell out a little money and make sure Leon doesn't leave too.

Ignore him. We're handling this process beautifully.

Was Byron Jones being considered as the fourth choice in the entire draft?

Well we restructured Tyron so let's see if that helps.

Great point. if you're picking at 4, you shouldn't have questions about which position you're going to play at the next level, unless your expecting to excel at either CB, or S.

who has actually came to dallas and left without a contract?

Agreed. Nelson and Hall for a few years at a reasonable price would be instant, quality upgrades and allow us to address other areas.

 

[JoeyBoy718]

Hall has 3 INTs in 10 years in the league. Carr had 6 his first 2 years in Dallas. I'm not saying Hall isn't a good CB, but people seem to conveniently use numbers against our own players but not against potential free agents.

Edit: My bad. It was 3 TDs. He has 26 career INTs. Never mind.

 

[reddyuta]

He mainly plays the slot now,not sure where Oscan will play if we get Hall.

Moore and caroll . But those are players not worth overpaying.
