Mo Clay to Baltimore?*** signs with Jets***merged

[rambo2]

The strongest position in this draft is the cb position.

 

[gimmesix]

Wow, are defense is going to look different next year.

No problems. We've got Scandrick, Brown and Carroll at corner and Jones, Heath and Frazier at safety. And apparently we can pick up a starting corner and safety with any of our draft picks as well.

 

[DCBoysfan]

Well, at this point it's no panic but this defense has not been improved at this point, but it's still March. I though Mo or Carr would be back, but we headed in a different direction.

 

[Sydla]

All signs point to the team being in rebuilding mode, even if it's a quick rebuild folks should probably not strain themselves with hope for next year. You can give me the "you never know" "NFL is year to year" defenses and I'll just sit back and watch it play out with you. We can see what happens together.

8-8 is the best this thing will do, and if the team gets there it'll be the same curse of mediocrity it has been in the past.

So we took a 13-3 team that should have been in the NFC Title game and in one year we have to rebuild it?

LOL. Geezus.

 

[Sydla]

Mind boggling that anyone who has followed this team the past 4 years is rueing the loss of Carr and Clai. How many big plays did they combine to contribute over that time? 2? 3? And stop, with this "they were solid corners" nonsense. There are tons of guys left in FA or the draft that can give you as much or more than those two and will likely be younger and cheaper. Balt and NYJ both overpaid for these two stiffs. Those two plus Free and Church all needed to go. I for one am thrilled to see them all of this roster

Claiborne was a talented guy. He was playing like a Top 15 CB before he got hurt.

Granted getting hurt is a problem of his.

Exactly right.

He's played in 47 out of 80 games.

If the Cowboys gave him a 2 year $12 mil contract this place would have melted down.

 

[Bay10]

This defense has been decimated this offseason. Mainly the backfield. While none of these players that were lost were great players. They were the best players Dallas could find over the last several seasons. To believe that better or equal replacements will be found between now and next season is wishful thinking.

Did not win a playoff game

Welcome to the Cowboys!

 

[Aven8]

While I'm fine with Mo moving on, the overall focus of the offseason is weird. Our strength last year on D was actually the secondary. What does Oscan and Lee think about all of this?? They are getting hosed.

 

[Chuck 54]

Wilcox wasn't a starter.

Neither was Mo when you consider he missed 9 games. Brown and Scandrick both started more games for our 13-3 team.

 

[zrinkill]

The only real loss is Carr ....... the others were never healthy enough to miss

 

[JBond]

Wow, are defense is going to look different next year.

Yep. They will have a corner that may even start 10 games.

 

[big dog cowboy]

I believe that letting Mo, Carr, Church, and Wilcox go is a good thing. For many years, I have closely watched our secondary, both in live games and in replays. Compared to other teams, I have not seen one secondary who collectively makes fewer plays on the ball and pass breakups than the Cowboys'.

 

[negativecreep]

Wow that sucks, he's good... I'll have more to say about this after I sober up, but I really wanted to keep Mo, darn.

 

[risco]

Noooooooooooooooooooooo! This one hurts. He is actually on the upswing.

I think brown is way better than Mo/Carr and so may be Nolan as well.

 

[risco]

Easy guys- not bad at all to lose Carr and Mo. Brown was going to replace one of them anyway. Hopefully, we can draft a stud DB.

 

[Sydla]

Who said anything about 2 years, 12 million? Is that what he got from the Jets?

I'd have paid 5 million for one year though without even blinking.

That's what the early reports are offering... two years... $12 mil.
