PFW: Cowboys get lowest FA grade in NFC East

[Risen Star]

Philadelphia B+

Washington B

N.Y. Giants C+

Dallas: C

The Cowboys have been busier restructuring deals than handing out new ones, a problem for a team with severe talent deficiencies at most positions. Not bringing back Greg Hardy is obviously the right decision, but equally obvious is the tenuous state of a Dallas pass rush that wasn’t good enough with him. Compounding that issue are numerous holes in the secondary, which veterans Leon Hall and Dashon Goldson are being courted to help plug. We like Dallas’ reported interest in Hall more than Goldson, but we’ll see where things go. Adding Cedric Thornton to the D-line is a nice move and shoring up their LB depth with Kyle Wilber behind Rolando McClain, who, like Morris Claiborne, inked a one-year deal, all makes sense. But do they make a big enough difference for an average ‘D’ that was overburdened with Tony Romo’s injury? And what’s the plan at running back and in the receiving corps after Dez?

Hard to argue.

Guess we could have spent $100+ million on our Dline to get a + next to our C grade.

Free Agency like the draft shouldn't be judged for a few years.

See: Eagles 2015 free agency grade.

Signing 6 or 7 of your own back from a 4-12 team should at least get a D in my book. Not that they were bad signings, but it's still 4-12.

Who cares? Eating FA is almost as stupid as grading the draft the day after its done. Complete waste of time.

Commanders have been getting A's in free agency for years now. Hasn't translated to any championships, so take these grades with a grain of salt.

 

[Idgit]

Not much to disagree with there. We've hardly done anything.

 

[BAZ]

B+ for the Eagles? Get outta that garden.

 

[Satchel89]

I love Free Agency Grades. I think what hurt the Cowboys was the fact that they "whiffed' on Long. If he would of been signed that grade would of shot up to a C+ easily.

 

[MRV52]

So boys and girls the moral of the story is spend over 100 million on players with no Pro Bowl appearances and get yourself a B Grade.

Agreed, incomplete or TBD, would have been more appropriate.

I don't know why you wo

Damn you guys are still using that lame statement to describe the Commanders....lol. The Commanders have not spent big money in free agency in a few years.I don't know if you guy's have noticed,but the Commanders have a real GM in charge and are building a team through the draft...

 

[Howboutdemcowboys31]

I'm not worried about missing on Long. Broaddus said he starts hot and gets weak down the stretch. While you want someone whose always hot, I rather us not sign someone whose gonna suck during a playoff run

 

[Shinaoi]

So exactly who should we have signed to get an A?

 

[jnday]

When they sign Morrid, it will drop to a "D". There is nothing like signing a washed up vet at a position that this offense needs to execute at it's best.

 

[Bleu Star]

Not much to disagree with there. We've hardly done anything.

Will we get off the snide and shore up at least one of many positions of need before the draft? Hmmmmmmmmmm......

 

[roughneck266]

With all the money the Gnats spent they only got a C+. I think I would rather what little we have done.
