My 53

[MarionBarberThe4th]

QB - (3) - Tony Romo, Jon Kitna, Stephen McGee

RB - (4) - Felix Jones, DeMarco Murray, Tashard Choice, Shaun Chapas - I wanted to sign Jerious Norwood, I always thought he was a great runner, but hes an injury risk into an already unproven RB group

WR - (6) - Dez Bryant, Miles, Austin, Roy Williams, Dwayne Harris, Jesse Holley, Jeff Maehl(UDFA)

TE - (3) - Jason Witten, Martellus Bennett, John Phillips .

OL - (10) - Doug Free, Kyle Kosier, Andre Gurode,Evan Mathis

, and Tyron Smith are the starters. Backups: Jermey Parnell, Sam Young, David Arkin,Travis Bright, and Phil Costa

DL - (6) - Cullen Jenkins(GB), Jay Ratliff, Stephen Bowen, Sean Lissemore, , Josh Brent, Clifton Geathers
Jenkins: 30 year old pass rushing DL. Gets up the filed and uglies the pocket. Also saw him standing up in the amoeba defense on NFLN the other day.

OLB - (4) - DeMarcus Ware, Anthony Spencer, Victor Butler, Brandon Williams

ILB - (5) - Bradie James, Sean Lee, Keith Brooking, Bruce Carter, Leon Williams

CB - (4) - Terence Newman(restructures?), Mike Jenkins, Orlando Scandrick, Josh Thomas

S - (5) - Abram Elam, Michael Huff, Akwasi Owusu-Ansah, Barry Church Danny McCray

ST - (3) - Mat McBriar, David Buehler, L.P. Ladouceur


PS: Phil Nagy, Noel Devine, Kris O'Dowd, Kai Forbath, Deunata Williams, Ced Thorton, Tedy Williams, Mark Herzlich,

According to Adam, by restructuring Romo, Austin, and Ware and releasing a few guys they could open up about $35M.

Free Agents:
Doug Free: 5 yr/$30M
Michael Huff: 5 yr/$30M
Cullen Jenkins: 4 yr/$25M
Abram Elam: 3 yr/$9M
Kyle Kosier: 3 yr/ $9M
Evan Mathis: 3 yr/ $8.9M

Also according to Adam Doug Free would get a big signing bonus for this year, making his base salary actually about $2.5M

Couple interesting ppl, I like it but one guy I want to see more of is Bryan McCann. And ogletree for Holley. But nice work.

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

I like Mcann but he got destroyed at CB and I dont think hes PS eligible

 

[pupulehaole]

Wasn't he an undrafter FA or no? I cant remember. Just got to give him some time to learn IMO. I think he can become a good player but that's just my opinion.

 

[trueblue1687]

Yeah...not so much about Jesse Holley...could have a better guy there, maybe Ogletree like was said before...more upside and a better WR, probably about equal on ST. I noticed you had no love for BIG or Columbo on the OL :laugh2:

 

[Manwiththeplan]

5 years and 30 million for Doug Free as well as 4 years 25 mililon for Cullen Jenkins is unrealistic. Several teams with needs at OT and 3-4 DE are several tens of millions under the projected salary floor, so it's doubtful these guys will go for so much less than they are worth.

I'll take two, MBthe4th. I like that 53 a lot. My pet cat Barry Church is still on the squad.

agreed. free is going to demand more in the market....specially for a LT. he is in the 7-8 per year range.

I am not so sure jenkins is unrealistic. he is older. probably, give him a large bonus and look at him for a couple of years. probably 2 years around 12 mill....
