Top 5 Free agent DTs and Safeties

[Hennessy_King]

Why is Tre Boston a free agent every year lol? Him and Zack Brown it feels like.

You know why

 

[Hennessy_King]

It's no secret that the Cowboys could use a major upgrade at these two positions in particular.

This list is according to: https://nfltraderumors.co/top-25-2020-nfl-free-agents-list/

Defensive Tackles:
1.) DJ Reader (27)
2.) Javon Hargrave (27)
3.) Gerald McCoy (32)
4.) Ndamukong Suh (33)
5.) Andrew Billings (24)

Safeties:
1.) Justin Simmons (26)
2.) Anthony Harris (28)
3.) Devin McCourty (33)
4.) Ha Ha Clinton Dix (27)
5.) Tre Boston (28)

This list is leaving out a big name in Marcel Dareus. That should be the target. Coming off an injury wont be crazy expensive but he can play

 

[xwalker]

Very average...big fat guy though, not terrible

You have no clue about the player. Quit pretending...

 

[xwalker]

Chris Jones blows all those guys out of the water....

I was a fan of him in the draft that year...

 

[xwalker]

Genuine question. What do you think is priority? A safety in coverage or one that can play the run.

One that can do both..

 

[VACowboy]

The two positions Dallas DIDN'T give a crap about..

Hopefully.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Without a doubt ...... coverage.

I feel the same way. Im

adams would be unreal to get but I do not want to trade the first round pick for him.

Me either. Last season maybe. But I need to be able to retain my guy for 4 years on his rookie deal.

NO SUH

Ok so he can be a potential guy we can get for cheap that just needs a change of scenery......

I hated Maranelli the DC but boy could he get something out of a linemen unless his name was Taco or Tristyn.

He is still only 23 too

Dallas doesnt have to money to sign high priced free agents. Going to have to be pretty cheap.

That's not true, Dallas has a TON of cap space - granted Dak will take up some of that & I'm sure they'll bring back Amari (if he wants to play here) but even after those signings they'll still have significant cap space (currently $81 million) https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/dallas-cowboys/cap/

 

[darthseinfeld]

Problem is the cost. He's due a big payday.

Hes also worth it and rare

I suspect we will call again. He still has two years of contract control. Without a deadline looming, I think they Jets move him to us or somewhere.

 

[Stash]

I'm surprised Bills DT Jordan Phillips isn't on this list. A mammoth man who broke out this year and ended up with 9.5 sacks as well. He's high on my list.

 

[ultron]

It would take more than a 1st to get him and he would be more than worth it (we're talking about a very young all-pro safety here), the issue is he wants to be the highest paid safety in the league (rightfully so). We have the cap, but I'd rather spend it on 2 DTs and a lower tier safety.

Yea I don't know if I really agree with this list - I'm going to make my own list soon

 

[ultron]

I agree, he must be a RFA - I'll have to look into that

 

[Carson]

I'm surprised Bills DT Jordan Phillips isn't on this list. A mammoth man who broke out this year and ended up with 9.5 sacks as well. He's high on my list.

I really like Phillips.

But we will see how this team approaches FA. will we be shopping for Covington’s and Hyders or going after Jones and Phillips

 

[John813]

Now do the bottom 5 list and there's our options

I'm surprised Bills DT Jordan Phillips isn't on this list. A mammoth man who broke out this year and ended up with 9.5 sacks as well. He's high on my list.

Can only comment on his Miami time but he was very hot and cold on the field. Maybe that effort is part of the reason why?

 

[Rayman70]

better off drafting a good safety. I am all in on DJ READER. He fits our needs and wont come with baggage.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Oh I think its possible he's traded. Seems like both sides burnt that bridge.

Its going to be an interesting follow this offseason. Especially if Dallas can get them down from two premium picks. Alot of reasons to do that trade, and a lot of reasons not too.
