It will be interesting which team will be the high bidder for Claiborne's services next year and how much he actually signs for. I don't even know if he is worth vet min. I hope the Cowboys move on from this colossal bust. I wonder what his games missed vs. interception ratio is in 4 years.

I was extremely surprised that McClain was allowed back in after that kick to the head, he was in a bad way.

Can't believe people actually want to retain Claiborne. What you've seen is all you're going to get from him. Cut bait

Bye Mo
Bye Carr
Bye Church
Bye Wilcox

Won't be able to replace all 4 in one season. Well they could .
Jomes and Scamdrick at CB, but need 2 new s's. Just do not see that, as then there is depth problems.
Mo or Carr will be gone, but doubt if both. Depending what happens with Mo. I would be surprised if both are gone.

Few teams have done it. It's not impossible. Having said that, I keep Carr around if we can have him for cheap.

I have to believe if Claiborne isn't shown the door its simply the numbers game. It's time to move on. No more waiting around. He is who is is--an adequate #2 when healthy, but very rarely healthy.

Clai has played well this year.. He wasn't the instant penalty machine in past years. Solid is what would be best described for his play.

I don't know about solid. I lean more towards adequate. However, I have no doubt someone is going to overpay, like we did for Carr and the guy isn't worth anything more than a prove it deal, even at this stage in his career. He can't stay healthy and he can't play at a high level consistently. Bottom line, he can't be relied on. If he can be had super cheap as pure depth, I am OK with it. I just don't think that's going to happen.

to be the 6th pick in the draft he should be more than solid should be a every year pro bowler and game changer.

What would you consider overpaying? I don't anticipate him getting more than a 1-2 yr prove it type deal. He has to prove he can stay healthy and perform on a consistent basis.

You can't make the club in the tub.

I've seen enough of Claiborne and his constant little injuries. He is an average corner at best so he is not worth keeping around with all these injuries.

I still don't know why we let sterling Moore walk. The guy seemed to make plays while he was here and he was cheap as well. Much better than what Corey white gave us. But then again, I'm not the gm of the Dallas cowboys. He is so good his job is 100% safe.
