Slim FA Pickings in 08'

[SDogo]

I was just taking a look at the list of FA's at some positions Dallas may look to upgrade in 2008 and beyond a few names that are certain to be high priced I don't see much that can help us. Some of the listed players may have signed extensions that I missed and the one's with a (*) after their name have reached incentives that would make them UFA's by what I have read.

Moore and Darling caught my attention as well

 

[bobtheflob]

I was thinking the same thing with Moore. He'd sure look good with MB3.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I'm really starting to get a hankering for Chatman, great receiver, and big guy, good speed

 

[CowboyMort]

I was thinking the same thing with Moore. He'd sure look good with MB3.

Isn't Moore one strike away from being suspended for drugs for a year? I may be wrong but I thought that was him.

 

[Oh_Canada]

Moore, Bryant Johnson, and Isaac Sopoaga would all be decent additions at reasonable prices I think.

 

[pgreptom]

Bernard Berrian UFA

^--

I wouldn't mind bringing this guy in for a look.

 

[kmp77]

Bernard Berrian UFA

^--

I wouldn't mind bringing this guy in for a look.

Got decent yardage the last couple of years on a crappy offense. I'd bring him in.

 

[Beast_from_East]

Bernard Berrian UFA

^--

I wouldn't mind bringing this guy in for a look.

Yea, Berrian would be a good replacement for Glenn if he is done. That was a sick catch he had in the zone against the Broncos!!!

Other than Berrian, I really dont see much that would be worth the price. Samuel is going to get PAID.....at least what Clements got.

Maybe Turner from SD if JuJo walks, although I doubt Turner would come here to split snaps. I see him being the featured back in GB next year.

I would rather we just resign our own and build through the draft.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Chatman/Moore, Berrian, re-sign Flo, Crayton, tender our restricted FAs, that would be a good offseason

 

[dogberry]

Don't the 31 have to work out a plan to take all of New England's free agents?

 

[Bluefin]

If Julius Jones leaves as expected to try and find a primary roll with another team, I'd really like to add some cheap insurance prior to the draft so as to not force our hand there.

I've always liked Tatum Bell, who is currently languishing in Detroit, and soon to be free agents will have to be tempted to sign on with a team like the Cowboys.

I still want to select a runner in April, I'm just in favor of having a fall back plan.

Receiver is a bit of a mystery with Terry Glenn's long term status unknown and Patrick Crayton's asking price to be determined. I like all three of our pups at the position, but have no desire to replace both number two and three on a team this strong.

Bernard Berrian's asking price may get too high, IMO, I know the Bears have no intentions of letting him leave.

I haven't seen much of the Cardinals on TV, but I think Bryant Johnson is the fastest of their trio and would be a nice target if needed.

I want to resign Jacques Reeves at cornerback and address the position early on day one in April.

Our priority in free agency will obviously be taking care of our own select free agents and especially the restricted free agents.

If we want to resign Flozell Adams and truly like the depth behind him, I'd go with the franchise tag for a year.

fine then, Jesse Chatman it is

 

[dthahn]

There's no way the Bears let Berrian, their best WR, walk in the offseason.

Glenn is done after this season. No doubt about it. We need a stud WR to take some of the attention off of TO. I would suggest a trade for Larry Fitzgerald or Chad Johnson. If a 1st round pick is not enough then throw in a 4th rounder as well to get a deal done. Having TO, Fitzgerald/Johnson, Crayton, Hurd would make this offense unstoppable much like the Patriots this season.

Also, draft a CB with the other 1st round pick, sign Michael Turner or resign Julius, keep FLO, and the Cowboys are virtually a lock for the Superbowl next season.

Championship!!

so you think the Bears are going to pay him top 5 WR money?

Why trade with the Cardinals for Fitz when their speedster, Bryant Johnson, is a free agent to be?

He was a first round selection in 2003 only to have Anquan Boldin, a third rounder that year, burst onto the scene as a rookie and then Denny green added Larry Fitzgerald the following April.

Fritz is about 3X the receiver that Johnson is. Thats why you would trade.

Michael Turner would be a great pickup. Not sure he would want to be in a split system but it would be an absolutely great fit and you know what, Jerry's money talks.

I'd rather go WR in the draft. Just don't see anyone who is going to be a great addition. Berrian is nice but I would much rather keep Crayton and spend a pick at that position. That allows Glenn to stick around if he can get healthy and I think Crayton is a really important player. I don't know what game it was in but one of the announcers tagged it when they said that Crayton just seems to find a way to get open.

Asante Samuel would take care of CB but hes going to get the farm from somewhere. I think if you want to upgrade at CB, it has to be through the draft just based on dollar amounts.

 

[Cowboy4ever]

With all the UFA and RFA we have on our own team this year, i honestly don't see us going for any FA this offseason. We have 2 #1's we will have to sign as well.. I just don't see us going big in the FA market this year,, and I honestly don't think we need to.
