Don't want him use that money on defense

Thats a great idea, because without a strong RB our defense will be on the field a lot more than the offense.

I would prefer to draft Elliott, but if that is something they absolutely are not willing to do, then yes, please sign this guy.

I don't think he's that good. Im fine with McFadden and drafting an RB.

If reports are true that we tried to trade for Demarco and now we are trying to sign Lamar Miller then i would think we would go after Elliott if we lose out on both Murray and Miller.

It doesn't look like we will be sitting on our hands this year as every RB worth having is taken away from us.
(I hope)

True, but for whom? This free agency period is looking like a big fat dud as the top defensive players are pretty much accounted for already, at least the ones that would be significant.

Each and every year, it is getting less and less exciting as teams are not letting good talent walk out the door and those that do sign megadeals are doing it strictly where the cash is.

Well I wouldn't mind another dolphin Derrick Shelby. I think he could be a starter @ RDE. I also like Rodney Mcloed the safety from the Rams. He's very underrated and has been solid for a couple years.

What is funny is that those two will probably follow the cash and get overpaid.

"too expensive" says Stephen.

I agree with you completely, and I think Jerry alluded to this in his interview, saying he felt very comfortable about the options we had to upgrade the running back position based on what is available and where we are picking. He said he felt more comfortable about addressing running back than he did fixing the defense.

This to me meant Miller or Elliott, but that could be my personal bias jumping in.

There are so many teams with tons of cap room.

It is inevitable that the Cowboys are going to lose out to these teams shelling out this crazy money. That's not necessarily a bad thing.

But it would be nice to pick up a defensive playmaker somewhere. A guy who can actually force turnovers.

Ive heard they really like Henry

 

[Stash]

I'd go only as high as $5.5 million per year. I wonder if playing for 'his Cowboys' is worth $4 million less?

For $6.5MM............. that's a bit too rich for my blood.

He likes to say "too rich for us".

Obviously you have to be selective, but at some point they're going to have to pony up and pay big cash for a free agent. Ever since they got burned by Carr (an average DB in a FA class of mediocre DB's) they've been scared to spend. First the cheap *******s didn't want to pay Murray, now we won't even get in the room with a nice young RB prospect over an extra 1 mil a year.

Stephen is our voice of reason and thrift.
