Twitter: Leon Hall to Visit per Rapoport

[Idgit]

It's called negotiating 101

Can't properly complain about the team overspending in FA anymore, so now we're on to complaining about them being cheap. I'm not sure what you expected.

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.

There's a difference between a tweener and a versatile player. A tweener is a guy who has some of the attributes to play both positions but maybe not the overall skill set to play either. The versatile guy can do both. And that will be the conundrum with Ramsey. If you see him as versatile, he's a top 5 pick to you. If he's a tweener, he's one of the most overrated players in this class.

I would bet even the NFL teams will disagree on this issue.

I like Leon Hall, but I don't understand what the team is trying to do if they don't make a sincere run at Hayward or Carroll, yet they bringing a past-his-prime Hall. They really must think we are right on the cusp. That's all I can think of.

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.

Sir where are you getting that info from? He has 27 INTs .

One of your better posts on the subject.

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

Matt Moore, Nolan Carroll, and while forte and Weddle never came here we put feelers out for both of them and of course came back with "they are too expensive".

As long as this means no Ramsey, im ok with this

...you think a 31 year old slot corner is going to keep us from drafting Ramsey?

Take your time.

 

[Jstopper]

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

I hope it does

Yes. That's it! We are right on the cusp!

After all, we were 4-12 last year. We're almost there!

Nolan Carroll and Matt Moore both came and left.

I just looked on NFL.com. Maybe I was looking at the wrong column.

"sincere run" - Weren't we talking to Carroll for like 3-4 days? And it's not like there were multiple teams lining up behind Hayward, ever wonder why that is?

Or maybe they are recognizing the idea that if a veteran can play, they can provide stability to a secondary that clearly lacks a leader and has poor communication.

Seems to be working well. Results are stellar.

 

[DCBoysfan]

They may have interest in Hall because of his ability to play the slot, in-case OScan has any set backs.

Yeah, you're right. I was looking at the TD column. I stand corrected. Bring him in.

 

[KDM256]

Don't mind the addition of Leon Hall to Dallas if we can seal the deal but IMO this puts drafting a DB inthe first 3 rounds on the back burner.

Oh boy, now I must go and unlike your previous comment.

Take your time.

Its possible. The same way fans think signing Long will stop us from drafting Bosa.

Jerry, you called the wrong Bengal. Nelson man not Hall.
