Report: Cowboys' free agent target Henry Melton in deep negotiations with Seahawks, may miss Dallas

[morasp]

What do you guys think Leon Lett's role will be in recruiting him?

I've seen some interviews with Leon since he's been coaching for us and he's matured a lot from when he was a player. I was both surprised and impressed.

i dont know which one is worst. the few who come on every thread just to be negative, slam every decisions the cowboys make and make smart *** comments or the ones come on every thread to defend everything the cowboys do. The negative ones a definitely are more persistent.

Maybe Leon can run through the Hertz place like OJ did to get to Melton.

Maybe. What is funny about the commentary about Melton's character is that Leon Lett was not exactly a choirboy himself.

Gosselin is a little out of touch it appears.

He's coming to Dallas for a visit. But it won't matter as the critics will say we settled for a lesser player if we sign him. We need him desperately.

Or the ones who try to take a neutral stance by slamming everyone.

It's being reported that Melton is in Dallas meeting with the Cowboys

Hopefully he signs

I'd like it if it happened.

well considering everything the cowboys do isnt wrong and everything do isnt right i would say neutral is a good place to be. Btw i said few. For the most part the forum is neutral.

Apparently he wanted to give his home team a shot "in other words" the contract with Seattle must not have been too impressive.

Where are these things being reported?

or they will say we over paid. lol one way or another it will be wrong

so color me wrong, but kidnap him until he signs

 

[WoodysGirl]

meh, we ALL like Rod but this comes down to cheddah....as is always does. Still don't see what the fascination is with this guy. Solid player when he was healthy but now that he's coming off an ACL....don't see him being a big difference maker on a totally rebuilding defense. Just go young once and for ALL.

The fascination with Melton is that he's a guy with with actual starting experience who could start on any team in the league. He's not a spare who you know the team is just going to use in a rotation.

Right now the DL position is filled with a bunch of question marks. With a guy like Melton, he can takeaway at least one.

I thought the official visit was not until Monday. Does Melton not live in Dallas?

 

[TheCount]

The former Chicago Bears defensive tackle made it to Dallas for his visit with the Cowboys this week, a person informed of his plans told NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport on Sunday.

He's in town, but I'm still worried about that knee and the price tag.

We are just at that point where if he cannot be secured, we are locked into a situation where we almost absolutely have to draft a defensive tackle in the first round, without question. That is a bad bad boat to be in.

We haven't signed him yet and NFL.com already is discounting it

1. Cowboys defensive line: Unable to afford DeMarcus Ware and Jason Hatcher, the Cowboys have a fair claim to the league's shallowest defensive front. Signing Henry Melton would help, but it's still a downgrade in talent and productivity.

 

[Alexander]

At this stage, it is market value given the dry talent pool and like Carr, we probably will overpay, hopefully not as bad due to the injury.

But it is the cost of doing business.

At the very least, he plays one of the most important roles in this scheme and has done it at a high level before and would know the system pretty well.

A lot of trolling going on in this thread. Please stop.
