please amend the list if there are any mistakes. thanx
m. barber ***
May be in for a big pay day during or after this season, but he'll have to earn it by proving he's a probowl back and starter another year.
s. bowen
Easy to resign, if we want him.
k. burnett *
EAsy to resign, if we want him.
c. canty **
He'll get a nice payday, but he won't break the bank because no one will want him as a 4-3 DE.
m. columbo **
Not nearly the player or key to the OL that some fans think he is...He'll resign for a lot less than Flozell or we'll let him walk...can't resign all of them.
t. curtis
If he has a good year, he'll be a tough guy to resign...I think he walks for a chance to start.
k. hamlin ***
Perhaps the most important signee, imo...He deserves his money, and there's no way Jerry lets him walk after the pain we suffered through at the position before Hamlin.
a. henry **
Good player, but he won't see another big contract in Dallas at his age...he resigns for starter, not star, money if he's still the starter...but most likely, he walks.
b. johnson *
Who cares?
t. johnson *
Unless he outplays Ratliff at NT, he'll resign because he loves Dallas or he'll walk for starter's money somewhere else...not a key guy to resign.
t. newman ***
Everything depends on Pacman and the rookies...Newman deserves a big contract, but he may have to walk to get what he actually wants...if our 3 new CB's are as good as advertised, not necessarily as good as TNew, then we can afford to let him walk...we can't afford to break the bank on this player and make him the highest paid CB...that kind of money isn't going to really make a significant difference in wins and losses...unless our 3 new CBs all turn out poorly.
e. oglesby
Who cares?
t. owens ***
Unfortunately, he has us by the shorthairs...even at his age, and even if he has a year less stellar than last year, we're going to have to pay him to keep him or give up huge money and picks for a blue chip starter...without T.O., our WR corps looks very very...very below average.
*** - pro-bowl
** - starter
* - primary backup
