PFW: Cowboys get lowest FA grade in NFC East

[RS12]

Team needs a QB and pass rush, they didnt get either one. Then again you are probably not going to get that in FA, so the grade sounds about right.

 

[DFWJC]

Not complaining one way or other regarding g the grade, but
Free agency was over when they wrote this?

Oh, that's right, it had just begun.

 

[Chuck 54]

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

LOL

 

[Blast From The Past]

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

See: Eagles 2015 free agency grade.

Usually free agency pickups are judged in year one. Any grades given by anybody without any games being played is subjective to the graders opinion only. Nothing to see here.

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.

Mo we have as many Championships as Tge Commanders none in that time frame and have 2 more playoff wins then the Cleveland Browns since 2000 ( that would be a grand total of 2 to Cleveland's 0) So in a nutshell the Skins got A's we got C's we are still in the same boat as them

 

[TellerMorrow34]

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.

Wow.

This is like the third time, at least, that I've seen you reference your likes count. Mind boggling. I can't take you in the least bit serious any longer.

Which is a shame.

Farewell.

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

I agree with this. If only because he will be able to cover up the LBs, it's a big deal. If you can keep our LBs healthy and allow them to just run to the ball, that's going to help a lot. If healthy, we have one of the best LB crews in the league. That could pay huge dividends for us.

 

[SPCowboysfan9]

I love it

Eagles get a B+ and signed Chase Daniel to a 7 mill per deal to backup mediocre QB they resigned to a bigger deal haha

Giants made Vernon top DE contract of all time.....he had 6.5 sacks last year

Neither team has any shot of winning anything....

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?

Replacing Golden Cock with Thornton is a B+ move by itself.

Who cares? Bring back Rome, Dez, and O-Scan with a "good" draft. I am not opposed to bringing back Hardy b/c we have no pass rush. I am a big fan of building through the draft.

too funny

 

[BigStar]

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.

Good post. Cut Carr (I hope), grab the future QB in the draft @ 4. Not forced into Ramsey, Elliott, or Bosa picks who are great players but won't help the franchise the same way a QB would in the long term. At 4, you have to think long term or one would think.

Want to Wager?

I say you cant even your like vs post at the 31,300 post mark. That's 3.78 likes per post. Amy knocks that down to 2.85 and you have the draft (CB 1st rd and 2nd rd) and Benson Mayowa - So I think Im being generous.

The wager is my 113 Trophy points for yours. 226 Trophy points will be more secure than Emmitts rushing record

You're a high roller.

After giving it some thought I have to decline. I just can't risk my trophy points.

The game doesn't make references to itself as some sort of stupid attempt to seem really important.

Plus I mean is a person really all that popular when they've got the same 5-6 people liking pretty much everything they post?

Hey I've thrown plenty of likes his way for some of his intelligent, good, comments and thoughts on the Cowboys and UFC and such. He's been a person whose opinion I enjoyed reading for a long time. But eventually those types of remarks, and his general attitude just ruin what good he was bringing to the table.

Some people continue to have that junk on their screen. I simply do not.

 

[CowboysRule]

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.

Many of those players were also on a 12-4 team. Not perfect, but it's still 12-4.
