Twitter: Terrell McClain to visit Cowboys

[NorthwestDallas40]

I loved Terrell McClain when he was here, but I don't know about bringing him back. Who will he force off the roster if he makes the final cut? The risk is we release a promising young developmental player, for an expensive aging injury prone veteran. I hope the Cowboys are very careful with this one. That ship may have sailed....

It's a good point. I suspect it would be Ash or Price. I would be fine with losing them for the 2016 McClain.

I'd take it.

I honestly think we are a great run stuffing nose tackle from becoming a dominant defense, that’s if Irving plays all 16 games, and if our corners continue to progress

2016 McClain didn't have this Tank, Taco, Collins or Ealy.

it's not like we let him go because he couldn't play.

What's ridiculous are those asking if JJ Wilcox should be brought back.

Whatever happened to Nick Hayden?

On a vet min as a ST specialist I don't think Wilcox is that bad an idea.

it's today and tomorrow. if he is not signed by tomorrow night then he is unlikely to do so.

Yea, if he leaves without a contract there's not likely to be one.

Retired and is the weight of a receiver now

I'd prefer it we attempted to draft a 1-tech with high upside and without injury concerns. But we didn't so we might as well acquire as much talent as we can and let the best man win. Seems to be the opposite of how we approached the safety position.

Even if the player he replaces is not a significant long term loss, just having an unreliable player due to injury issues can be a negative for this season. It puts a strain on the depth at a position (DT) where they they really only carry 1 true replacement and if you consider just 1tech DT they often don't carry a true replacement.
5 DTs on the 53
4 active on gameday
1 inactive replacement

If the 1 inactive backup is a 3tech then there is basically no replacement 1tech.

Nick really altered his body type after retiring. In a big way!

HAHAHAHA! Post of the day, man! Well played!

Misread the label on the Weight Watchers diet.

 

[QuincyCarterEra]

Both Stephen and McClay have said they don't view any of the remaining safeties as attractive for the Cowboys and are not
upgrades to existing players on the team.

Gives me some hope.
