Machota: 10 free agents who make sense for the Cowboys

[Aven8]

I keep hearing Bobby Wagner is too old and he just keeps having pro bowl caliber seasons.

He’s the new Earl Thomas. Every year we don’t get him until he’s too old. And good to see you’re impressed by Pro Bowls now Ris! Smh…

I guess you forgot the shootout last year against Seattle. The dude can barely move anymore.

 

[Sydla]

How is Luvu not on this list? Those LB’s are way too old.

They likely aren’t signing a young LB because it would cost too much and too many years.

They are looking for a one-two year type guy, which makes some sense.

Guys focus too much on age around here.

Wilkins is on the list and he’s young and expensive. In fact my all in is getting him and Luvu.

I have the utmost confidence that this FO will come away with none of them! They got the league right where they want them with their own players!

I'm impressed with Pro Bowl caliber seasons. 180 plus tackles, 3.5 sacks, 11 TFLs. These numbers are elite and haven't been seen here by an off ball LB in decades.

DJ Reader and Kendricks would be an "all in" move and will certainly help fix the interior problems. Don't think either will happen, but it would be great if either or both happen.

 

[Redsfan_83]

Bank on getting at least 5 or 6 of these.

your typewriter ink ran low your last bit didn't show: Bank on getting at least 5 or 6 of these in for a visit, but then lose them citing we tried our best

His former coach didn’t want him here, now why would Zimm? Having said that I prefer him over Kendrick’s if we’re going 1 year wonders.

 

[Jayinem]

To be honest, there was zero chance of Wagner coming to Dallas last year.

If that's true with Quinn here, what's the chances he's going to come now that Quinn is gone? Less than 0?

 

[Risen Star]

There are only two possible reasons this happens year after year:
1. They over-value the guys they draft and know.
2. They don’t know what they are doing.

I guess it’s also possible that it’s both.

It's both.

 

[Bobhaze]

Bob, can we have one thread without your damn negativity?

 

[jazzcat22]

We will see if Zimmer has any real influence over this.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Bank on getting at least 5 or 6 of these.

I seriously doubt it. Cou0le of lower end ones to generate buzz. Specially if they sell jerseys. Let's say Henry, or at best Barkley. Ke tricks because older, probably cheaper and a Zimmer guy.

 

[JPM]

And none will be signed.

 

[ShiningStar]

And none will be signed.

and honestly, thats ok. really, usually im against what Dallas does, but trust me. its a good thing.

Off ball LB’s don’t matter. Dont you know? Who needs guys to actually, you know, tackle the guy with the ball.

[visionary]

Ill take Wilkins, Jewell and Wagner thank you

Signed
No one in Cowboys FO

love the optimism but thinking Jerry would go out and get 1 of these would be highly optimistic.

 

[big dog cowboy]

I‘ve heard that many times. But I’ve also heard Wagner was open and was told the Cowboys were already sold on LVE. You can’t sign someone like that if you don’t even try.

And I am completely convinced they didn't!
