We need a signing

[AbeBeta]

It's league wide. It's called collusion.

Some of these guys on the RFA list are worth sigining to a deal and letting their original teams decide whether to match.

Someone is going to break though.

I don't know that it is so much collusion as it is other factors.

First, you've got the whole uncapped thing. That means you no longer have cap space as the leverage in RFA signings. So realistically, in most cases you are just going to be spending your time negotiating with a guy that the original team is going to resign.

Second, you gain considerable leverage when the player and his original team reach an impasse. With so many RFAs, you need to let that play out a bit and see who simply can't make it work with his current team. That guy is going to be available for a trade that costs less then the pick compensation.

Finally, I doubt we see much movement on RFAs outside of a handful of guys...it just isn't good business to give up picks for a player you need to give a new deal to.

I think at this point, people would be happy if we resigned one of our own players.

There's certain moves that propel you to the next level.

I don't think this roster is championship level as is.

Look what the Saints did. Brought in Sharper who was that missing piece since they stuggled in defense last year.

We're almost there but we need a stud FS and another playmaker on offense and then we will be collecting championships like nothing.

Sharper wasn't signed until several weeks into free agency. Are you honestly under the impression that the Cowboys don't intend to sign anybody all offseason long?

I'm not worried. The final 8 rule has us handcuffed. I don't believe in giving up draft picks either. I'm more than happy with the team we have, plus some playmakers in the draft.

Yeah....Miles

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Or a trade or something. Alot of people are at each others throats on this board. I think we're bored and starving for some signings. We need something else to talk about.

Come on Jerry. I need some signings!! anything! give me something!

Slow down there Veruca Salt.

Yeah we have a really good core. Just a playmaking safety and another playmaker on offense away from taking the next step IMO.

 

[Hostile]

I have yet to see a name for a player that we just have to have.

 

[Suave]

Not long ago, Jerry Jones stated that the Cowboys will soon be scheduling free agent visits. Do you think he was lying? Can you people please be patient?

 

[SLATEmosphere]

I have yet to see a name for a player that we just have to have.

That's purely personal opinion.

I disagree.

But I don't feel like going down that road again.

 

[casmith07]

I hear we're getting some players around April 22nd. :laugh2:

Win

Don't worry, you'll get that Lion

(AP) – 39 minutes ago

DALLAS — Former Dallas Cowboy Quincy Carter was spotted entering Valley Ranch. Team officials were unavailable for comment.

:jackpot:

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Yeah that's just what Jerry needs to do. Run right out and sign someone right now just because Slate has a few pet cats out there that he's dying to see signed up and it's killing him having to wait.

That's the ticket to the championship stuff.


Personally I'd prefer to let the experts and professionals take care of their jobs the way they feel is best and not worry about whose snapping at one another on an internet forum or the fans out there who live for flash in the offseason.

Come on Jerry. I need some signings!! anything! give me something!

Greg Ellis?

 

[MONT17]

Jerrys had all of you Eskimo's buying that" uncapped year" Ice! Tell me something... Do they really sell Tissue with the Ice Packs in the upperdeck?

 

[yimyammer]

I like the patience they're displaying, hopefully the coaches and scouts know what they're doing and benefit by not overpaying or panicking

 

[gimmesix]

Come on Jerry. I need some signings!! anything! give me something!

What about Connor Hughes?

And I can't believe you'd forget Cletis Gordon.

Go drool over those for a while.

 

[Beast_from_East]

Who is out there in this crop of free agents that we have to have???


Cosidering this is one of the weakest free agent classes of all time, the smart move is keeping your powder dry. If a good player comes available at a reasonable cost, Dallas will pull the trigger, however making a trade or signing a player simply because the fans are bored is one of the dumbest things a team can do.

Now see, I thought it might have been because they brought in a new defensive coordinator.

And we NEED to sign someone, especially to keep up with the Commanders signing Larry Johnson. How are we going to stop him???
