You don't build a team by signing other team's rejects... Now, there are a few gems in the process but not that many...

YES... I like Adalius Thomas... a LOT...

Realistically we won't sign him... it really doesn't make sense for us...

Now... signing a player like Eric Steinbach does...

It ain't sexy, but it is solid... much like most of your wives... :D

I prefer the non-Commander method. Signing solid free agents and not the biggest name available. Have we made bad choices? Of course what team doesn't, but atleast we haven't thrown ourselves back into salary cap hell and we've picked up some solid players along the way. Also you don't have to down our wives just because you wish you had a wife as sexy as some of ours.... :D

im almost positive its going to be leonard davis on day 1, then from there well take our time looking at a back up QB and secondary help. I also think that Polk from SD is going to be coming our way too.

So, you don't build a team by signing other teams' rejects, unless it's a player that you happen to like?

Steinbach was taken 1st overall in the 2nd round. That's very high for an OG. By all accounts he's performed at that level. He's the top lineman in the market this year. He's about as "sexy" as a free agent lineman can get.

I honestly don't understand why people have any sort of aversion to free agency. It's just another source of talent. If you can get the right talent for the right price, take it.

I would be happy with Leonard Davis and Harrington for a back up QB...
and then bringing Colombo back..

I Like Davis better than the other guards available because he can play quard or tackle (flexability)

AS for A. Thomas , I like him also but I want to see how the linebackers that are already here do with Wades Defense...

In the 1st round of the draft if one of the top 3 running backs drop to Dallas then I would love for that to be the pick...

Julius is too inconsistant for me, some weeks I watch him and I think yes we have the next great Dallas back and other times I see Avion Casson

For me I love Barber as a player but I see him more of a Richie Anderson than I do Dorsett or Emmitt..

you did not just associate the words sexy and lineman together did you?

Either Steinbach or Dielman are great great ideas. Both are 26 years old so if you sign them to a 6 year deal you have them for their prime years. From what ive seen and read Steinbach is a better players but both would be good safe aquisitions.

It has nothing to do with what I like, but rather Jerry's trends...

Yes, it is "sexy" from a talent standpoint, but not from the average fan standpoint...

It would NOT be a sexy signing for the masses...
