While most of us want Colombo back as our starting RT cause we believe he will improve even more in 07 with the experience he gained in his first year along with the fact he a year removed from rehabbing his knee. We don't want to overpay cause we have other needs and he is viewed (Pasquelli listed him as 3rd player on his list of NFL sleepers) which in my opinion means he's in the 2nd tier.
While it's been reported he was in Denver on Friday March 2, Denver papers don't indicate that. All they say is Denver might have an interest in him. Haven't read any other teams express interest in him. Hopefully as we end the first week of FA and any offers Colombo might get during this time or within next 1-2 weeks, reality will set in for both of us. It does appear Colombo's agent and the Cowboys are still talking but far apart. Took below off of bloggingtheboys.com board for what it's worth:

The DFW S-T, this morning, on Marc Colombo.
[Marc] Colombo visited Denver on Friday.
The Denver Post, this morning reporting on every fee agent that visited the Broncos Friday.
[Patrick] Kerney visited Denver on Friday along with former CU tight end Daniel Graham, running back Ahman Green and guard Montrae Holland.
[snip] In addition to looking at Holland, who played last season in New Orleans, Denver is said to have interest in Dallas tackle Marc Colombo.
You wouldn't use the term "is said to have interest" if the guy had visited with the team. You'd say they met with him. Nowhere in the article do they say that the Broncos met with Marc Colombo. My guess is that Colombo was not in Denver on Friday.
Consider this an open thread for free agent news, speculation, wild guesses or just general observations. Here's my theory that I posted last night. The Cowboys knew how much money Marc Colombo wanted going into free agency, and weren't sure they wanted to pay that much for a guy with only one good year under his belt. So they decided to look around at some free agents, found that the number Colombo wanted wasn't so crazy after all, and are going back to work with his agent to get him signed. But now, Colombo knows the market and what he can get out of the Cowboys, and he's pushing for top dollar.
