Probably not, but I am bored these days and hungry for any type of free agency rumors. LOL.I don’t think they are too reliable

Jefferson is actually a really good player when healthy heck of a ss. And haha is much better at the fs. So I would expect him to lose that battle especially being drafted where he wasIf he can't beat out those guys then he doesn't deserve a spot anyway.
This might be.Cowboys have already signed Clinton Dix who can play FS/SS but likely fits more at FS. I’ve read on Twitter that they were in on SS Vonn Bell before he went to the Bengals. Now reading they’re interested in SS Tony Jefferson and SS Morgan Burnett. If one of those guys are signed does Woods become our 3rd Safety/Special Teams? Trade bait?
Woods is the same height and 9 lbs less than Jefferson. He can play the position. They aren't all 215-220 lbsYes.
Xavier Woods is too small for a SS.
Nope. Totally disagree. It's obvious this coaching staff feels the same way if they've been looking for other veteran strong safeties to pick up if possible.Woods is the same height and 9 lbs less than Jefferson. He can play the position. They aren't all 215-220 lbs
Internet rumors/reports are a dime a dozen. Until I see something more concrete it's just as likely a ploy to suck in readers. Even if they are looking, that doesn't necessarily mean it's because of his size. I'm not sure either Burnett or Jefferson is as good as Woods anyway, which isn't to say Woods is special, but rather to say they are not.Nope. Totally disagree.

Overeating?He just flat out stinks.
Expecting much more than a backup and ST contributor in round six is a reach, but this team very much wants to tell themselves they draft better than anyone.
Overeating their own continues to be a problem.
Woods Is also interchangeable. Who is also a better for closer to the Los to defend the run. So signing dix is a good fit for the teamCowboys have already signed Clinton Dix who can play FS/SS but likely fits more at FS.

Except Byron didn’t play slot corner. Lewis did.
Whoops.Overeating?
Woods was the "starting" Nickel CB in the final 3rd of his rookie season...Maybe you heard the same radio mention that I did the other day they said that one of the coaches mentioned that they had looked at Woods in that spot. Nothing confirmed. No plans to do it. They simply had discussed it
According to.........

“Safety Vonn Bell we are told was down to #Bengals and #Cowboys he wanted to play in the South where he played college ball with #OhioState Buckeyes”
Not sure how legit their info is or who their “sources are”. However, they’ve definitely hit on their predictions of some other signings around the league.
We should upgrade over him. He is vastly over rated on this board.Cowboys have already signed Clinton Dix who can play FS/SS but likely fits more at FS.

I don’t see the logic on this. Why can’t it be the team believes Woods can play either SS or FS, or even that he may be better at SS?Woods seems a poor fit at SS. Signing Dix was pretty well saying Woods is viewed as a short timer. Now they're looking for the cheap bridge SS. 3 short timers, so very likely we draft a S high too, further cutting Woods' snap count.
Woods may drop to 4th on the depth chart.
I remember when they were hyping Woods as our next "break out" player. Good times.

BingoIf he can't beat out those guys then he doesn't deserve a spot anyway.
