Twitter: Ron Leary wants to return

[Stash]

Today's Ron Leary is not better than Joe Looney, at least not healthwise and also due to age. Plus, Looney can play both Guard and Center very well. That puts Looney above Leary.

Then we've got the two young stud Guards in Connor Williams and Connor McGovern. Plus, add in veteran Xavier Su'a-Filo. Then add in their backups in Cody Wichmann and Adam Redmond. All of them are young and definitely much younger and healthier than Ron Leary.

I don't see how Coach McCarthy would want to bring back an old, over the hill, constant knee injured Guard back to the Cowboys over any of the much younger and healthier Guards we currently have?

Maybe because most of those guards yiu listed are free agents and no longer on the team?

No state tax in Texas? And has a home here. And on his last leg? He'll sign cheap.

 

[Stash]

Agreed, BH, but Dez is actually looking pretty good, in much better shape and fully healed from his torn achilles.

The hands still look good, as does the adjustment on the ball. I hope that he gets at least an invite to camp.

PFF of 58.4.

That don't sound good. 30 years old with declining performance.

For comparison, XSF is PFF of 60 and 29 years old. Similar player in terms of strengths and weaknesses, with better numbers and more recent relations.

Leary doesn't sound like a hot property anymore.

Question is, do they cost the same amount at this point?

That's the key word right there.

If he can pass the drills and exam then for the right price I would do it. Was a drop off when he left. Will be in a back up role. Rotate i him in.

 

[DCCowboys11]

Bring him back. Connor Williams is a back up tackle.

See what McGovern has this year. Williams may go bye.

How much is Joe Looney.. That’s what I want to know.

This is the dude that should be starting! I hope Philbin isn’t like Columbo and realizes this is not a backup.

Looney is one of those players that is a big signing we need. He plays well.

Preach it.

Dallas can cut Cam Fleming and save 4.4 million. If Leary is going to be reasonable with the cash, then cut Fleming and kick Connor Williams out to swing tackle.

 

[DCreppinBoysfan]

No. This team handles the Former player angle weird here. After the whole Witten fiasco, no thanks.

 

[BigStar]

As long as he makes what the fans decide is appropriate.

I didn't know you could summarize this place in one sentence but you just did. "Was like..wow that's eye opening"

Agreed. It's like too many fans are overly concerned with contracts. I wouldn't be terribly upset if professional sports leagues quit providing contract data to the public and kept it all internal.

 

[Bullflop]

Leary has no reason not to want to return, although the Cowboys might. He might likely command a more generous contract that what the C'boys would be likely to absorb. The issue as to whether he'd be a starter or a backup would surely come into the picture if and when he were being seriously considered to join the team. Would the two Connors, be candidates to be the starters or would it be Leary instead? Nobody really knows just yet.

See what McGovern has this year. Williams may go bye.

Start McGovern, slide Williams over and let Fleming walk.

 

[Section446]

Easily one of our biggest mistakes in the past decade... Should have never let him go.

 

[quickccc]

LOL ...some cowboys fans here are such a marvel.

lets see we've already spent a 2nd rounder on a OG, ... we've already spent a 3rd rd pick on another Conner at OG ... so we've clearly gonna be invested in both of those young Conner guys for the duration of their current rookie contracts.

Plus the Cowboys also have investments in younger backups such as Brandon Knight and Andy Redmon. ho they like.
and considering what the FA market will be for Looney and Sua Filo, they could always consider re-signing and bringing them back as well,

but yet delusional Cowboys fans here want to bring back a 30-age+ OG who still battles issues with his wheels, and injuries as he has much of his career. and Broncos now discovered
that he wasn't worth the big contract they dished out to him (which Cowboys did know of Leary and allowed him to depart) and now Broncos want to go a different direction.

 

[quickccc]

Start McGovern, slide Williams over and let Fleming walk.

i say Let the Conner battle play out first
- I'm not for just handing McGovern the starting job without him competiting see what he brings and proving his worth and let him earn
that starting job.
