Report: Cowboys will monitor free agent pass rushers and safety class

[Cowboyny]

I don't want injured LB's that average 55 tackles a season.

He is a short-term scheme transition player

I think a lot of people around here are doing a disservice to the player. He’s a good player. He’s not a stop gap.

I like to stay informed but I would understand if the team decided to be a little more secretive when it comes to their acquisition plans.

They don't\ have to be deceptive or attempt to throw off their rivals with false information, just a little statement like......."I hope the media and fans understand if the team decided to be a little more secretive when it comes to their acquisition plans."

Actually, that would inspire a little more confidence, in my opinion.

Really good post!!! Let's just tell everything every thought and don't do any of it!! Just move in silence please for once!!!

Who we expect to be an amazing starter for us, hard pass

All for actually using FA to bolster the team and go into the draft with a BPA mindset.

Just would be something to sign FA safeties this year when there seems to be a good crop of safeties this draft.
Unless they are targeting edge/OT/LB/CB in the first over a Downs(12) or thieneman(20) level safety prospect.

Expect to be a quality role player

Just saying, any fa is usually a short-term fix to give a team time to draft his replacement. Yes, Dean is a good player, his only real issue is his health.

I agree! Give me Downs

That would be amazing!!!

Yes, when you spend bottom dollar to sign free agents, that would be correct. I don’t think that will be the plan this offseason, nor with this player.

Pretty sure every team in the league monitors every position.

I think those 2 positions make sense for us. Neither is outrageously expensive in FA. And without a second rnd pick, safety is gonna be tough to draft. Just class has some nice safeties but no second makes it hard to get one

 

[conner01]

Only reason we would be linked to Dean is because they hope to get him cheap because of injury history.

It’s possible you could get him somewhat cheaper

 

[conner01]

He might not get past Cincy at #10. They need defense as badly as we do.

Downs won’t likely get past 10

Any position besides DT make sense for us!

Expect a trade down.

Often injured is not a solution.

So true. But 2 we can get in draft making it a bit of a guessing game which 2. Smart move is fill them in FA opening up the draft to the best player with a few exceptions. But we have to fill at least a couple we aren’t likely to get in draft. If you sign a guy and end up drafting same position it just costs Jerry money. I’d rather have too much than not enough. The cap seems to always work itself out.

Ive monitored Lamborghinis and Bugattis. That doesn't mean im going to get one. These little misleading "monitor", or "go all in" situations are fraudulent until they actually start making real moves.
