Be honest here.... How many of you expected the Cowboys to have this many free agents of this caliber this year?

I know I didn't. Some of these guys should actually be really good signings at good value. Might be the opposite of the dumpster diving we did last year.

Hurns is the only one I’m fairly impressed with, although Fleming is probably a shrew move. I’m not impressed honestly, but I’m more comfortable

I think the caliber of this year's free agents is being exaggerated by some. Fleming is my fave, so far. Hurns and Thompson are basically fliers.

Fleming is an upgrade over Bell. Hurns is an upgrade over Twill. Thompson is an upgrade over Butler. Thomas is an upgrade over Wilber.

So I am happy but I want one more. Make this one a no brainer starting caliber player.
 
I did.

The last few years they entered the draft not desperate for any players. Be able to select BPA really improves the team at a faster and deeper rate than try to build a team through free agencies.
 
Well if I believe the doom and gloom some posters were saying for the past 2 weeks, I would say no. I did not know why we were even playing next year. I thought we were playing for the #1 pick for the 2019 draft.

This caliber is a relative statement which might be a bit subjective. I am not an expert, so i don't know.
 
I thought they might be more active than last year. Honestly signing Fleming and Hurns showed competent use of free agency and both guys should help the team. I feel better about the offense certainly.
We still lost our starting MLB and need to bring in some help at 1-T and left guard, but so far... I'm fairly happy.
 
FA helped:
I really didn't want to take a WR in the first two rounds...Check
Needed a legit swing tackle to replace Smith when his back inevitably causes him to miss time...Check
Take BPA in first three rounds at OL/LB/DL/S...Check
 
It's not the most amazing or exciting off-season the Cowboys have ever had but I am feeling better about it. Besides, the reality is looking back, even when we did make big splash signings/moves it didn't really get us anywhere.
 
I definitely feel better. I bought they needed a starter at MLB, S, 1T, LG and depth at WR and swing tackle.

No matter which role Fleming plays, they’ve addressed 2/6 things which is a lot better than 0.

I have hopes they can draft at least two more.

So one more signing of a guy like Boston or a 1T will start to make me feeel pretty good.
 
You have no business around here if you aren't an expert!!!! Love?

I read a post of yours since you have been back, and you highly offended a player I hold in esteem. Now to be fair I cannot remember who it was. But then again I am not older than dirt, but was around when we voted on what to call it.

To sum up, your next vacation starts soon. Unless i fall asleep in my chair.
