I wonder how the ridiculous money being thrown about by teams like the Raiders is going to affect our chances of resigning TO to a new contract.

It sure can't be helping

Just gonna have to pony up. If i were Jerry, I'd tear up the 2008 deal and give him a new 3 year deal slightly larger than Moss. His age doesn't bother me one bit if we stay in the 3 year range. IMHO he'll be a #1 WR for at least 2-3 more years.

Holy Moses met the Pharoah, that's a chunk of change on a guy who is coming off an injury.

Huge money - 9 mill a year-ish -- 27 mill over the first 3 with 16 mill in bonuses -- stupid deal. He's not worth that.

All this signing means is we now have to take a WR with one of the 1st 3 picks. I can't/won't count on Glenn being healthy all year. And I'm not sold on Austin/Hurd being able to tote the load should he go down. Come on Hardy or Sweed.

He's missed 23 out of the last 48 games. Glenn has missed 16 in the same time. I'll take a chance on TG thank you very much.

I'm just as concerned about WR as you are. Walker has been checked out again and again. He would have been good here but its not like he (or anyone out there) would have mad a difference.
This Cowboys team is just one of those teams.

And let us not forger that you thought B. Edwards was a better WR than M. Williams.

There's that, but I just wanted to point out what Adam contributes :cool:

hope yu'v been well budy :)

Maybe later we can talk about shut down CB from your area....but that's another thread.

What is up brah? Long time no see.

Mike Williams really let me down. He has no one to blame but himself for becoming lazy.

The WR I want resides currently in Detroit. In the Draft I like 4 guys a lot. Any one of them would thrill me.

:huh:

:lmao2:

U got to be kidding me... he freakin' went to Oak? Al Davis paid him what???

Al Davis needs to flat out retire... Sounds like a JJ move back in the Campo era.

JJ never had that kind of cap space in the Campo era. One of many reasons the Campo era SUCKED.

Hos, Walker is gone, but does anyone REALLY know what's going on with the other R. Williams? (the better Football Player)

There's nothing to suggest that's even remotely true. Super Bowl championship teams almost always win because they improved from within, not because they made some big splash in free agency -- and certainly not early in free agency, when guys are getting overpaid left and right.

In fact, of the past seven Super Bowl champions, NONE of them signed a free agent within the first 10 days of free agency who made any real impact whatsoever.

The 2007 Giants (who went 8-8 and lost in the first round in the previous season) didn't sign ANY free agents until March 27, and the biggest free agent they signed all offseason was Kawika Mitchell -- for less than $1 million per season.

The 2006 Colts signed exactly one unrestricted free agent all offseason (Adam Vinatieri), and that happened 11 days into free agency.

The 2005 Steelers, 2004 Patriots and 2003 Patriots didn't sign a single starter during free agency.

The 2002 Buccaneers didn't sign anyone significant until March 22 -- three weeks into free agency (and that was Michael Pittman, who has never even rushed for 1,000 yards).

The 2001 Patriots didn't sign anyone significant until March 16 -- two weeks into free agency (when they got Mike Vrabel).

The last Super Bowl champion who had signed any signficant free agent within the first 10 days of free agency was the 2000 Ravens, who signed Shannon Sharpe on the fifth day of free agency.

That's true about the cap space back in the day, but I was basically referring to the times JJ was overspending for big name retreads that aren't worth it.

I can't believe we have Campo back anyway. I hope he kicks *** this year and turns around the secondary play. If that happens, Dallas should go farther in 08.:cool:

The Lions say they won't trade him, and have said so several times now. So I doubt he moves.

I think we should take a look at the Bryant Johnson's and D.J. Hackets that are left.

I still can't believe the Raiders paid Walker, Randy Moss money.

T.O. is going to want 11 mil a year when it comes his time, holy crap.

Not sure, but Detroit will either have to trade him, or lose him via Free Agency because they will not be able to pay him. They ahve too much tied up in WR with the contracts they've given Calvin Johnson, Mike Furrey and Sean McDonald.

I know for a fact he wants to come to Dallas. I think he's a perfect fit here.
