normally i'd have agreed, but then i saw this:

Dallas could enter the mix for Broncos wide receiver Ashley Lelie, a holdout. Cowboys coach Bill Parcells told reporters Wednesday his team is interested in acquiring a receiver. Lelie is one of the top wideouts available. Chicago and Philadelphia have shown recent interest in Lelie, who has amassed $196,000 in fines for missing training camp.

i'd love to see us snag lelie but i'd rather we'd have gotten javon walker when we had the chance.

That is a blurb from the Denver Post.

Try and click on the blue link and read the article. What you see here is exactly what is written in the article. No other information other than the writer guessing. It is this type of shoddy journalism that allows bad rumors to get legs.

"According to a Denver Post report, the Dallas Cowboys are looking seriously at disgruntled Bronco WR Ashley Lelie. Calls to Dallas were not returned. Stay tuned for more developments."

You would be one of the many I would consider that would see an article like that and take it for what it is....another reporter throwing stuff against the wall hoping something sticks.

It is all just speculation at this point, and IMO BAD speculation.

I think some folks assume that players want to be in Dallas so badly that all that stuff goes out the window. Sure. I'd love to be catching balls behind Owens, Glenn, and Witten while playing in an offense where the coach wants to run over 50% of the time.


Glenn is old for WR (still not costing to much$) But can still getter done

TO is still TO, whats the chances of him being here Next year or 3 years from now.

The cowboys are up and coming and a possible playoff/superbowl contender
The cowboys are One injury away from a 8man front.

Look at the Commanders WR corps, Moss, Loyd and and that WR from the steelers (cant think of his name now). I Don't think their WR's are that impressive but its solid depth and they can get thru a inury

Raiders Jerry Porter is still young enough and playing behind a Randy Moss who will be a raider for some time.

Denvers: Lehie Young and upcoming WR who I think is still a gamble, but is hungry for the #1 Job and of course the #1 money it brings.

We no what this years WR is and could be. What will the WR corps look
like next year, No Glenn? No TO? Draft a rookie?

I thought Jevon Walker could of been a better choice than TO (cheaper and younger), But it serously looks like the Cowboys are going all out for the playoffs/superbowl this year. A Porter or Lehie will help now and for hopefully for the next 3 years.

I really think its a Tuna mind game or we will trade for nobody WR

But if its gonna be done, lets play for now and the future.

This isn't meant to be as rude as it is going to sound so pardon me:

This is not your XBox360. This is not Madden2007 where we can just trade for superstars and win a title. Disgruntled WRs unhappy with their current backup situation are not attractive to teams looking for depth only.

Teams are assembled not just by their talent, but also the team dynamics. Coach Parcells himself has said repeatedly: "I am looking to get the right guys on this team, they may not be the best guys, but they are the right guys for this team".

I can appreciate the angst about the future at the position. But adding talent like Porter or Lelie not only doesn't make smart business sense, it doesn't make much sense in terms of the future in the short term, which is what matters the most right now.

no, i agree it's speculation but till today, i'd never heard *anyone* talk about lelie to dallas whatsoever - even in speculation. if they're throwing stuff on the wall like many do in here - fine. i just never heard a media source talk about it.

we'll see.

I kind of think if they do something it will be for someone we will scratch are head over.

If it is someone we know I am thinking maybe someone like
Bryant Johnson -Arizona
CHarles Rogers -Detroit

or the ronald curry type.

Its interesting though bethel johnson is a good guess too. I would think it would be someone that our front office has a relationship with, like jerry and bill with Al Davis.. or Jerry with Dennis green.

Nick eatman said yesterday maybe a possibility could be Al singleton and a draft pick 2nd day I assume for Charles Rogers or Mike williams since they have fallen out of favor. Singleton would fit in marinelli's defense pefectly just like in Tampa.

Who Knows. I know that if anything is done it will not be a big name guy so i dont even think about porter or lelie.

well..we need deph, so how about one of this guys?

-Bethel Johnson
-Tim Dwight
-Reche Caldwell


Is Dwight Still healthy?

I think that would be a guy that Bill would like due to his ST play.

However I thought even though he is far from being considered a star, he was liked a great deal by the teams he was on.

In other words if healthy I am not sure his team would want to trade him.
