Seattle and Atlanta interested in Terrell McClain

I think the Cowboys are only "lukewarm" on the guy.

He played well in '16 for the most part but offering him a 4 year deal could backfire with his injury history.

Could?

 

[ActualCowboysFan]

He tailed off pretty well too.

Yeah, there was that too.

I thought no one is allowed to be interested in people yet....... that is tampering

We don't need 2 injury prone dts

 

[RS12]

Draft is strong at DT this year. Not opposed to an upgrade here that can penetrate and absorb the double team.

I would like McClain back, but we spent a lot on Thornton last year to man the 1 tech. I would think McClain is looking for a similar deal. Based on his injury history it may be best to move on if the price is in that range. I would certainly entertain a 2 to 2.5 million a year 3 year contract, otherwise we need to look towards the draft.

 

[Nightman]

take the comp pick

 

[Setackin]

Fine with this... need roster spots for new DL in draft and I'll take the comp pick next year... bye Felicia!!!

In addition if the Cowboys add more bodies to the DE spot, the pretend DE's, T. Crawford and Irving will move inside.

If he signs elsewhere for a large enough contract then yeah.

I'm just doubtful that he'll get one that big... Big enough for the Cowboys not to be interested, but not big enough to get them a comp pick.

 

[CWR]

Yep, hes going to be a cap casualtie. We have some depth at DT. Cant afford to resign Mcclain. Who knows his value anyhow? Hes been hurt most of his stay here in Dallas.

 

[ShiningStar]

now whos going to stop our progress players? im getting confused here.

PS, as another poster said, dump him, take the comp pick. be done with it.

 

[Alexander]

Oh no. Please. Someone stop them. Help.

 

[JoeKing]

IMO, T McClain in not appreciated enough by the fans. He was the cornerstone of the D-line last season. The man has a right to get paid. If that means giving him what they gave Thornton then do it.

I think we're OK on the inside without him. Thornton is a good player who needed some time to adjust, and I think he'll be fine as a two-down lineman. A combination of Tyrone Crawford, Maliek Collins and David Irving will be used inside on passing downs, with Collins also able to chip in at 1-tech on non-pass plays.

McClain got as much work as he did partially because Crawford had to step in at end. Then, Irving had to ... although I believe he will continue to receive some playing time there as part of the rotation.
