Starting tackles left or right don't come cheap. What are you willing to give up to get a starting RT?

Personally I think it's for a swing tackle. Free is solid nothing more nothing less

Actually when healthy Free is pretty darn good. His health (feet) is the only concern

The team is on the ball. Their talent evaluators have been on point for a few years now, bar Claiborne, so I'll trust they'll find someone better than Weems.

I am not ready to write off Claiborne quite yet. He is healthy now. If he gets burned against the Giants and the Eagles, then I will probably change my mind.

FO is secretly members of the zone that's how they know what we need ijk ijk

I will breathe my dying breath one day believing this to be the case behind the move of Alan Ball to Free Safety in the Wade Phillips era.

It was literally mentioned nowhere but here, and all of a sudden that off-season they cut Ken Hamlin and promoted Alan Ball.

You can't go based on production years later. You have to look at drafts in a vacuum. Claiborne was picked commensurate with the consensus of his ranking around the league. That is a good pick. Whether the player performs up to expectations is a different story that has nothing to do with the evaluation of talent at the college level or draft positioning.

You want to complain about a pick, complain about Gavin Escobar.

I'm not ready to write Mo off either. If he gets burned against the Giants and Eagles I am more concerned about how he responds. All corners get beaten but the good ones and great ones bounce back immediately. They have short memories or better still...selective memories. If Mo shows that resolve then I would be convinced that he will be the bounce back player of the year for the Cowboys.

Any word on who their pursuing ? What about the PS ? Who got signed to the PS ?

I heard that Gibson signed with Chiefs PS instead of ours so at the least we want to sign a guy to the PS, which is probably what this is about.

Broaddus is probably speculating and its unclear if he is referring to a trade or just looking for an outside OT

trading for an OT makes and Broaddus is usually pretty good at knowing something is going to happen.

Chiefs pretty unhappy with Eric Fisher right now, so would a trade of Fisher for Weems and possibly another guy or pick be possible. Remember we took a chance on Colombo several years back when Chicago gave up on him. The FO is good about identifying the guys that make sense for us and ones we can turn around.

We pushed hard for Hardy, RMcClain, CMike and recently Kellen Moore out of nowhere.

If we bring in Dockett or DBowers you can thank me for asking.

We signed Jordan Mills OT to the PS who was drafted by Chicago in 2013 I believe.
