Signed by Cowboys OT Ty Nsekhe Signed by Cowboys

36?

 

[AsthmaField]

A very good pick for a swing tackle. He can play.

Definitely not a starter though.

36?

This is their Dontari Poe signing of the offseason.....actually I take that back its their Haha Clinton Dix signing of the offseason.

 

[cowboyblue22]

wow really old

 

[John813]

Yep. And for the past two years I've been impressed with Brandon Knight. Like I said above, these guys started for the Cowboys down the stretch....now with a training camp I'm suppose to believe Brandon Knight isn't good as a 35 year old journeyman?

Not to mention Knight got a trial by fire at LT, as he never played it in college.

I thought he was alright, all things considered. Some decent games and some bad games but as expected for a 2nd year UDFA offensive tackle.

 

[Sydla]

He'll probably be cut before training camp is over

LOL.

It'd be funny if it weren't so sad and predictable.

 

[Cowboyny]

Here's your Erving replacement and our new swing tackle. Played well in starting duty for Washington.

Isn't that what you want in a swing tackle? A potential starter? Especially with Tyron's history?

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

None of our tackles did enough last year to snag that spot up? They were good enough I guess to start for Collins and La'El but not good enough I guess to be swing tackle.....

Gotta admit, don't see this being an upgrade to Knight or Steele....at least not an upgrade worth spending any $$$$ on.

HW:

“At 35 years old, Nsekhe is definitely nearing the end of his utility in the NFL, but given the lack of wear and tear on his body compared to the typical 35-year-old offensive tackle (only 1,700 career snaps), he should still have enough in the tank for another couple years.

Over the last two seasons, Nsekhe has been the swing tackle for the Buffalo Bills, where he does his job well. Nsekhe didn’t get a ton of opportunities to see the field in 2020, however, in Week 15 against the Denver Broncos with Buffalo’s starting right tackle Daryl Williams injured, Nsekhe was able to play 30 snaps and show that he’s still one of the best swing tackles in the NFL. The drop off from Williams to Nsekhe was nonexistent, as Nsekhe proved to be very effective in filling in at the right tackle position.”

Exactly the way I put it. He may be a fine player but I don't understand it. Or the timing. This should've been your last signing going into the regular season.

36 year old swing tackle? Impressive

 

[AsthmaField]

Potential OT starters make a **** ton Of $ in free agency.

He may not be a starter but he’s better than Knight/Steele, although I do like those two young guys future potential.

I thought they might just use Knight as the swing but I guess they wanted some more security at OT.

 

[DRella]

Its a cheap one year deal that is a great sign. We are talking about a 36 year old that doesnt have alot of mileage on his body having never started. But when hes filled in he has been reliable. The Cowboys plugged a hole of need and with the reps players like Steele and Knight got last season we are in good shape. He's a definite upgrade on Fleming. He probably took a discounted deal to retire a Cowboy being from Texas.

 

[Mikemcm]

Who the heck is this guy?

Exactly. All I'm saying is under the circumstances Steele and Knight are probably better than they should be knowing how they've been developed. Knight is playing a new position and Steele just got thrown into a starting spot out of nowhere. You don't have much to take away from last season that was positive but I thought for the most part you got decent play down the stretch from your young linemen. To replace them with a guy like this is insulting it seems.

 

[Avery]

This guy will be cut before the 53 IMO.

Only a one year deal so not too concerned.

 

[Stash]

A very good pick for a swing tackle. He can play.

Definitely not a starter though.

I would L-O-V-E for the Cowboys to look at Kelechi Osemele to start at left guard. He was a huge difference maker for the Chiefs before being injured last year and would be a huge upgrade over Connor Williams there.

He played well for the injured Trent Williams prior to going to the Bills.

Yes, Brandon Knight is not as good.
