so last year the guy everybody wanted to cut or take a pay cut is now the top guy to resign in free agency okay

The Cowboys FO needs to get past "the devil you know" fears they have.
All these people who were like you shouldn't take a defensive back high last year are now wanting to go into the top end of the FA market to overpay for a defensive back.I think it's more the people who wanted him to take a pay cut would retain him again, and the people who wanted him cut still want him gone.
Either way, he's not our top FA priority, but we are going to need to hang on to a couple of those FA DBs.

Oh and if I was in charge i'd bring back Mo, Carr and Wilcox and i'd be taking a DB in the 1st 3 rounds.
You may not know this as i've tried to keep my feelings quiet....but....I wanted a DB at 4....if there would have been one there who could play S or CB even better....I'd resign Carr and Church, and let Frazier and Heath earn more reps. They have to add DBs in the draft, too. There was a good argument for taking the DB in the draft last year, and this was it.
You mean like we did when we opened the wallet for a good young CB in free agency 5 years ago?At first, I wanted to bring back Carr, but there are a good number of some pretty good and younger CB's in FA this year. I know we aren't supposed to be spenders in FA this year, but instead of throwing down 4-5 million a year on Carr, this is the spot I would not mind opening the wallet a bit.

All 3 of those players hit. 2 of the 3 much more likely to be worth their 2nd contract. Oh well. Now we need to hit with a defensive player at 28. Hopefully we cnotniue our good run of 1st round selections.I went in wanting Bosa, then Ramsey. Elliott turned out a great consolation prize. It's most important that we hit on that pick, so I'm not complaining, but tactically I still don't think it was the right position to be drafting at #4 overall.
OJ Howard......make the offense great againAll 3 of those players hit. 2 of the 3 much more likely to be worth their 2nd contract. Oh well. Now we need to hit with a defensive player at 28. Hopefully we cnotniue our good run of 1st round selections.
Not many FA CBs have been playing better than Claiborne the last couple yearsI'm willing to spend more than Brandon Carr and Morris Claiborne would cost together on an outside free agent CB.
We need to get younger and faster than Carr and healthier than Mo.

That's great and we can pay them 10m+ plus because they have no questions and all the talentHow many free agent CBs have played more than Morris Claiborne the last couple years?
I'm not against bringing him back, sooner or later Mo is bound to better luck with injuries, but I'd looking to upgrade in free agency and then the draft.
If he re-signs, expect competition.
Agree we need one, even maybe two back, but I'm not seeing suggestions on players that can help this pass rush outside of maybe a past his prime Ware? If there are pass rushing DEs in FA that make it worthy of going that direction, that would obv be our #1 priority. I just would rather upgrade where we can rather than go status quo again and go bargain binning @ both positions.I think it's more the people who wanted him to take a pay cut would retain him again, and the people who wanted him cut still want him gone.
