PFW: Cowboys get lowest FA grade in NFC East

[Idgit]

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

We'll fill the spots. It'll just be with mediocre players. That's ok in my book. I wish there were better players out there, but it is what it is at this point.

It's always fun to go back and re-visit this kind of stuff in a year...

I swear the Commanders have been confused in free agency since the start of free agency...
The Giants will be basement dwellers for a decade in the next couple of years...
The Eagles hit the reset button every two years and have done nothing but undo most of Chip's moves...

Completely fine with the current strategy from Stephen and Jerry... It's not like Deion Sanders and Reggie White have been available.

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?

C is still passing right? Hate to have to take this class over or drop it.

Needed that laugh, haha thanks.

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

See: Eagles 2015 free agency grade.

It would probably be more productive for PFW to grade the improvements made in stadium concessions and public restrooms.

 

[Clarkson]

PFF gave us like the 2nd best grade.

Signing Robinson will boost any grade.

Yawn.

At the point they did this, the only outsider we added is Thornton. Since then we have added Morris, who while not exciting is a solid back, added Mayowa and possibly Robinson. Not huge signings but all add value and improve depth and allow us to go with BPA in the draft. CB is no longer a huge need, nor is RB. DE, S and backup QB are probably the three biggest needs still. Cutting Carr or greatly reducing his pay and signing someone like Nelson would cut our needs down to two.

It was a first wave of free agency grade. There's no question we're getting all A+s in this second wave.

As an aside, I'm about to hit 30 thousand likes. I don't know if they have something planned but I'd rather not make a big deal about it and overshadow these signings today.

They are giving out Grades wayyyy too early. They also need to look at the amount of the contracts given out
to justify how much impact to the Salary Cap it could cause.

[xvendettax914]

lol. lets give grades to the FA period that isn't over.

 

[Vanilla2]

I'm curious about what philly signed.

Edit: article reads as if written by egirl fan.

 

[DCBoysfan]

The fact that people still get their panties in a bunch over websites FA or draft grades is

 

[egn22]

Yeah this is funny.

 

[chagus]

The Thornton signing will be a lot more impactful than this guy thinks. The middle of the dline was their weakness.

 

[dfense]

Who writes this crap? "a problem for a team with severe talent deficiencies at most positions"

Most positions? Arguably the best QB, WR, LT, G, C, and WLB in the division.

And Wilber isn't a back up MLB.

Philly let most of their team walk away. So signing all new overpriced guys gets a B+ woo hoo!

 

[endersdragon]

Robinson and the hugely cap friendly Morris deal will bring that grade up to the b range I bet.

 

[iceberg]

for the IGS, now is never soon enough.
