Dallas has too many high salaries for mediocre talent. I think it is now time to blow this thing up. Now I am not advocating cutting everyone just for the sake of starting over, but I would cut big names as a means of freeing up future cap space.
Cut: DeMarcus Ware: He doesn't have it anymore. He is actually a liability back there and the team should really consider starting Everson Griffin to see if he could bring more from the DE position. No team will trade for him. He was a great player for many years, and I appreciate the effort. It is time to move on though.
Miles Austin: Unlike Ware, I hate this guy. Got paid and then mailed it in. No one will trade for him, should have been cut this last offseason when Dallas would have saved a lot of money.
Kyle Orton: He is a high paid backup. Free up the money and let him go.
Brandon Carr - Not worth 11 million dollars a year. He is much better than he has looked this year, but corners are not worth getting that much money. The only reason Scandrick isn't listed here as well is because he only makes a 4.7 million a year. If Carr would agree to take a pay cut and make about 6 million a year, I would keep him. Players do not like paycuts though and he will refuse. Let him go and make him a June 1 cap cut.
Let go:
Jason Hatcher: Too old for the money. Let him go and test the FA market. Wish him nothing but the best and appreciate everything he did this year.
Anthony Spencer: Even if Dallas can get him cheap, do not do it. He is old. Time to stop playing old guys, this is a young man's game now. Older players get hurt much more often in today's NFL and the only old people should be the QBs as they can still play when older.
Trade:
Jason Witten: I love Jason Witten. Hell of a player, but the team needs to free up money and move forward. I would trade him to another team because he is still valuable. I think he would net a 4th rounder from a contending team like the Patriots. I would consult with him and try and let him choose the team he wants to go to out of respect for everything he has given this organization.
Doug Free: He has played much better than I thought he would. He only has another year left on his contract. I would not extend him because that did not work out so well last time. He might get this team a 5th round pick from a team that thinks he could be the last piece to solidify their O line. I was really intrigued by Parnell and the time to get him out there is now. He could be worse than Free, but he has a much better physical skill set.
Bruce Carter: Can I get a ham sandwhich? Done... Trade him for a 7th rounder and be done with this ******. I wish someone would be dumb enough to give us a 5th rounder but a 7th is more likely. Even if he tears it up for a new team so what. He is a FA after this year and based on his efforts, I would never consider giving him money. That would be a huge mistake.
Morris Claiborne: This dude blows. I am not mad at the organization for taking him because every draft analyst liked the pick. Fans from other teams were pissed that the Rams only got a 2nd rounder. Teams miss all the time. It happens, but he was not a reach. I think someone will give Dallas a 3rd round pick for him thinking they can fix him. Trade him and get something for him before he has no trade value.
Stuck with:
Tony Romo: Man that contract was dumb. Maybe Dallas can move on after next season
Sean Lee: See Tony Romo
Realistically Dallas should have an extra 3rd, 4th, 5th,and 7th rounder. Those extra pick will be huge and Dallas must hit on its picks with safe players. They cannot afford to take any More AOAs or David Arkins and must settle for more established players with lower ceilings.
FAs: Only one: Linval Joseph. He is only 25 years old. He would be an outstanding 1 tech. He has good size and is very fast for being so big and he has been very sturdy. I would like to get Lamar Houston from Oakland as the 3 tech, but I think Oakland is going to lock him down in the offseason. No to Melton. He is going to want some serious jack and Dallas needs to run away from big contracts. Those big contracts cripple your team when those players go down because you cannot afford depth. If Melton ends up signing a reasonable contract due to a lower FA market, he will stay with the Bears.
Okay its draft time: Dallas will not be able to rebuild this team in one offseason, but they can get some good players and lay down a good foundation with the younger core players like Dez and Tyrone.
1st round: Trent Murphy DE. This guy has good size at 6'6 and weighs 261 lbs. He leads the nation in sacks this year with 13.5. Not the greatest athlete but he gets it done. I do like Tuit and Hageman but not as much as the guy I really like in the 2nd round. I also think Murphy is a much better DE than the 2nd round prospects at DE.
2nd round: Kelcy Quarles DT Great quickness and not just for his size at 6'3 at 298 lbs. He is tearing it up with 9.5 sacks. I really thought he would go much higher but legit draft websites are stating he will be a 2nd-3rd draft pick with this deep DT class lowering him. I would not get greedy and try to take him in the 3rd. Just take him a little high in the 2nd round and solidify the D line.
3rd round Keith McGill CB I know not another corner, but this guy is huge at 6'2 and 205 lbs. You need big corners to cover these bigger and faster receivers that the NFL seems to be getting. This guy runs pretty fast for a man his size. When guys like Brandon Carr look small covering Jeffrey and Johnson, you need to change your approach. Also if Dallas sticks to the ******** cove 2r to this guy hits like a safety which is important from the corner position. Also according to my rebuild Dallas has cut Carr and traded Claiborne for a 3rd rounder which would be this pick.
3rd round Morgan Moses OT 6'6 325 lbs. I know Dallas probably doesn't want to invest more picks at OT when most fans would rather take a guard, but if Parnell cannot play, the season would be sunk. Moses has very good size and has played both tackle positions. He graded out very well as both a run and pass blocker. He would most likely just beat out Parnell because Moses is that good.
4th round Stanley Jean Baptiste CB 6'2 220 lbs. Oh no not another corner. This guy is huge though. Dallas needs bigger corners. Isn't anyone else tired of seeing Scandrick getting outmuscled by bigger receivers. Scandrick is the NFL's best slot corner which is where he should be playing. This team needs more size on the outside to prevent those cheap completions. Plus remember Carr and Claiborne are gone according to my rebuild.
5th round Ryan Groy G 6-5 320 lbs. A little bit of a reach but this draft has no one at guard in the 5th round. I suspect teams will start to value this Oline has much as us fans and will now be drafting them much higher. While most draft website state Groy is a 6th rounder, he will probably be the best available in the
5th. Dallas needs another guard and cannot draft injured players anymore. That has not worked out so well. Besides this guy was an all big ten offensive lineman as voted by the coaches, so its not like he is some bum. Plus like all O lineman from Wisconsin he would be NFL ready
5th round best available running back. I did not put a name because I didn't think Randle could have been taking this low last year. Teams do not seem to be putting premium picks on running backs anymore. There will be a good player here, I just don't know who will drop.
6th round Garrson Smith NT 6'3 299 lbs. This guy got 5 sacks playing as a undersized NT. He hustles a lot to make up for his lack of size which is not small in a 4-3. He played out of position and did not make excuses or complain. Usually someone like him would go much higher but again this deep tackle class has knocked him down to the 6th round.
7th round Ben Gardner DE 6'4 277 lbs. This is where you take injured players with lots of upside, not in the first 4 rounds. This guy would have gone much higher if not for a pectoral injury. He plays with a lot of hustle and never quits on plays. Not the best athlete but is always in the backfield.
7th round Spencer Long G 6'4 315 lbs. Would have been a 4th round pick if not injured. Again you gamble with lower rounds not higher. I think he will actually be better than Groy but I do not want to gamble a 5th rounder on an injured player.
Cut: DeMarcus Ware: He doesn't have it anymore. He is actually a liability back there and the team should really consider starting Everson Griffin to see if he could bring more from the DE position.
